Absolutely loved our weekend at the Dower House! Amazing location surrounded by nature, the building is so beautiful and our room was huge and had every comfort. All the things you don't find in chain hotels are here - four poster bed, comfy sofa, coffee table and chairs sat amongst a wonderful backdrop, dark and quiet at night for a great sleep. And not to forget the amazing and genuine owners, Tim and Rosemarie, and Teresa who served a great breakfast

Neil and Rosemarie were excellent, very friendly but professional and nothing was too much. Facilities excellent, rooms excellent. Parking excellent. Looking forward to our next visit. Hotel is so convenient for River Cottage and the lovely Lyme Regis.

Lovely hosts, great calm location, loved it

Well cooked breakfast, suitable range for us. I suspect some would welcome a continental option.

Lovely welcoming staff

Great staffs, gorgeous and clean room, fantastic breakfast, everything was perfect. There’s no restaurant for dinner but you can deliver or take out some and have it in the bar and they will offer some cutlary and plates.

Friendly owners and staff, lovely hotel which we would recommend to anyone. No bad points stall and will definitely return.

Will be back again before too long.

Fantastic would highly recommend.

Very friendly owners and staff. Comfortable room with lovely views. Very helpful with recommendations of eating places and walks etc. Nice and relaxing stay.

Neil & Rosemary were very friendly and lovely when we arrived and during our stay. Our room was as excellent with a large bed, bath in the room and TV, etc. The lounge where the bar is was lovely and breakfast was all local. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again

Excellent all round. Wonderful welcome from Rosemary,Neil and staff. Room very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Delicious freshly cooked breakfast made with locally sourced produce. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay 3 night stay. John and Anita

The owner Neil was friendly and welcoming on our arrival. The bar area has modern funky furniture and plenty of bright colours. We would like to go back. Rosemary was friendly and chatty when we left. Thank you both

By far the best hotel on a week long tour of Hampshire/Dorset/Devon. We stayed in a variety of places (including a huge and quite fabulous High-Victorian mansion in the New Forest) but The Dower House was far and away the nicest hotel in every way. Spotlessly clean, beautiful rooms, everything immaculate, wonderfully helpful, friendly hosts. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

What a stunning friendly place. Absolutely spot on. No Gripes…. The owners so friendly. Definitely want to go again

Beautiful house, very clean, gorgeous grounds. The owners are lovely, highly recommend this place

Very good breakfast and bed very confortable. It wasnt cheap but it was excellent value. Everythjng was right and nothjngbtoo much trouble, wevhad a wonderful weekend.

Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The room is spacious, clean with tasteful decorations. My son especially loves the heated swimming pool. Staff are very helpful and offered to open the pool earlier and offered to late check out so that he can have a swim before we left.

Very comfortable, clean room with everything that we needed.

A very nice small hotel full of character and in a beautiful setting and convenient to lyme regis. See and countryside views from the room. Lovely gardens. Friendly owners and staff went out of their way to make sure we had eventing we needed... the owners checked in with us at breakfast each morning. The 3 course table service breakfast was selectable from a menu. Classy but not pretentious.
