“This historic hotel in Lyme Regis, a short walk from the beach, clearly makes an effort to be welcoming, especially to families and those with pets. The indoor pool, sauna, and games room are definite pluses for on-site recreation, while the history of the building adds character. I think the location is ideal for exploring the Jurassic Coast.”
