We were greeted with a handshake which is always a good start. Our hosts, Neil and Rosemarie were welcoming and eager to make sure our stay was a good one. Our room was spacious as was the bathroom and shower. We were pleased with the coffee machine and the fridge on the landing for the cold milk. The small touches are what makes this hotel a special one. The bar downstairs proved popular to watch the world cup and we appreciated the hospitality during the evening. Breakfast was cooked to order and taken on the deck. The swimming pool was excellent. Car parking is easy and plentiful. One small point is that we would have appreciated a fan in our room which was very hot. Given the extremely high temperatures we are all experiencing it might be something to consider for the future. Otherwise everything was absolutely fine and of a very high standard.

The property is very well kept - a lovely building with lots of history. Unfortunately our room was very small (they do have bigger rooms), so small there was not enough room for our suitcases, and no where to sit in the room. There is also no where to put your toiletries - so onto the floor they go. Our room was very hot+++++, we literally were staying in a sauna. They knew we were coming, and they knew that room got hot, It would have been helpful if they had opened the window to let some of that hot air out. When we mentioned we had a very uncomfortable night due to the heat, It also wasn't helpful to be told "lucky you aren't in France" For our second night we were given a fan that improved the room temperature. We enjoyed breakfast on the deck and the beautiful gardens.

Very enjoyable stay. Neil could not be more helpful. We will definitely be back.

Superb room and hotel and very welcoming owners and staff.

Our three nights at the Dower house were a lovely break. The bed was most comfortable and the room spacious with plenty of seating. The breakfast was generous with good choices and prompt service. The gardens are a delight. This is a great place to stay,

Neil and Rosemary are just lovely and they made us feel so welcome. The property is wonderful set in the most beautiful surroundings. Our suite was fabulous and the entire stay was very memorable...and fantastic breakfasts!.. We will be back!

Amazing beautiful building, great owners. Pleasure to stay and we will again

The room was very nice and the breakfast was very well done and served with lots of love and warmth from the hosts. How I wished we could have stayed longer!

The room was nice, clean and tidy. Staff were polite and helpful. We were looked after well.

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
