Perfection

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.

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.
