Over the last few months I have had to visit this hotel a number of times and have got to know the team well. The food is excellent, the rooms welcoming and the staff always friendly. It's the first time I have used Trip Advisor for years but feel I have to after reading the recent negative comment. I find... More

At first sight Fairwater Head Hotel looks lovely, has good views and rooms that seem reasonable if a little tired and lacking in comfort. Still at £70 a night not something one can complain about. Then you meet the owner - Basil Fawlty is indeed alive and well and in charge of the Fairwater Head Hotel. We stayed 3 nights... More

Had a weekend away in Lyme Regis and got a great room only deal at 49 pounds per night. Room was clean the staff were very helpful and the hotel has good facilities including a library and wireless You would need a car to get to it and it has good parking. More

One night booked at very short notice and a bargain price through Booking.com. Despite that we were made to feel very welcome and my birthday was celebrated with a card and special decoration at the dinner table. The location is superbly quiet with wide views and plenty of country walks close by and sea view walks a few miles away.... More

We have just returned from spending two nights at the Fairwater Head and enjoyed it a lot. It delivered everything we expected / hoped for and we came home very satisfied. The service was friendly and welcoming although being a quiet Sunday/Monday it would have been almost impossible not to be. Our room in the main house was spacious,clean and... More

We were booked for one night in November. Having travelled for 4 hours we were rather tired, however we arrived 3 hours earlier than planned. I was worried we would be turned away as we were so early but I need not have been as we were welcomed and briefly shown the facilities. We were then shown to our room... More

Arriving stressed and through the fog I was immediately made to feel welcome. How often do hotel owners take you to your room these days and provide doggie snacks? The food was lovely although a wider vegetarian choice would be appropriate for a longer stay. The staff and resident dogs are friendly and welcoming. The hotel comfortable and warm. There... More
