This is an establishment that cares for their guests, not in an overbearing or fussy way - just tip-top professionalism. From the traffic advice prior to arrival, charming greeting for both myself and the dog, shown how everything works in the room, great choice of teas and coffee in the room, good wi-fi (unusual in this area) and good information...

We have been staying here about twice a year for the past 4 years without our two kids. The family room has bunks and a double with an ensuite and is always clean and warm. Pat and Peter are the perfect hosts and their breakfasts are fantastic. This year we have also taken friends and our vegetarian extended family and... More

We booked at the last minute, direct with Peter and Pat. They were both extremely accommodating and welcoming. We were offered a cup of tea in the downstairs dining room as soon as we arrived (roaring log fire, very welcoming in January) while we signed in, and were then shown to the room. The family room fronts onto the road... More

We had a wonderful stay here over the half term break with our two children. They had the twin room and we had the double next door, both with en suite shower rooms. The rooms were small but comfortable and warm. Pat and Peter, the hosts, were wonderfully welcoming and cooked us all a delicious hearty breakfast every day. It's... More

Exactly the type of B&B experience that I was after. Lovely and warm feeling to the place. More than ample parking, good location and an excellent breakfast. Room is fine, good sized bed and well stocked tea and coffee making facilities. Overall, very good value.

Stayed here for one night and it was just fine. The owners were very welcoming and offered us tea and coffee on arrival which was nice. It is easy to find. The room had a shower and bath and the bathroom was big. The room was also nice. Be aware though this is an "old school" B7B/guest house so it... More

The hosts, Pete and Pat, went the extra mile to ensure our stay was a wonderful one. I stayed in room 2, my mum in room 1 and we both found the condition of the rooms to be of an excellent standard. Each was furnished with those extra touches to make you feel at home; shower gel, shampoos, t.v., great... More

Very good hosts, nice room, great position just on the outskirts of Lyme Regis. I am a fussy git when it comes to food and our hosts catered for my needs and cooked my breakfast to perfection. We walked down to the beach which takes about ten minutes on a nice walkway at the back of the B and B.... More

Don't stay here! I'm a big fan of B&Bs and usually enjoy the quirkiness of each establishment. The Old Black Dog however proved to be an exception to the rule. The rooms were poorly maintained and the staff rude beyond belief. I've experienced a few 'Basil Fawlty' types at B&Bs over the years, and they're fun in a peculiar way,... More

We stayed two nights in this Guest House and were made to feel very welcome by our hosts. The bedroom and en-suite were large and clean with lots of extra touches like tissues and bubble bath. Plenty of tea and coffee available in room. The breakfasts were cooked to order and delicious - worth waiting for. I like my bacon... More
