Stayed for four nights and enjoyed excellent service, great accommodation and very good food. The only mistake we made was to venture elsewhere for dinner on two nights; unfortunately we didn't get close to matching Abbotts House standards. would also be staggered if there is a better model railway in the grounds of any hotel in UK!! more

We stayed at The Abbots House whilst attending a Mushroom Foraging course at The River Cottage and it was the perfect chill out base. It was recommended as a Great Boutique Hotel on the River Cottage website and didn't disappoint! We stayed Saturday and Sunday night for the course on the Sunday. The restaurant is open only on Fridays and... more

We have just returned from 2 nights at Abbots House and I have to say that it is a very good 5* guest house. There are lots of personal touches such as the homemade biscuits and chocolates left in the room and the DVDs that you can borrow from the hall to watch in your room. There is a stylish... more

e stayed here for 3 nights and whilst not cheap (£130 pn) it is excellent value for money and well worth it. Attention to detail is second to none, everything exudes quality, care and a real desire of the owners to make your stay a perfect one. It was great to have a selection of old and very recent DVDs,... more

Our expectations of Abbots House, as described in previous Trip Advisor reviews, were fully met. All areas of the house were extremely well appointed and it is obvious that a great deal of care and attention to detail has been paid in the restoration and decoration of the building. This very much follows through to the way in which guests... more

We stayed for 2 nights in the Thomas Hardy room. We had a wonderful experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. The hotel is easy to find, on the quiet main street of Charmouth, a small seaside town 10 minutes from Lyme Regis by car. The beach is a 10 minute walk away. This is a great base from which... more

Our room was really comfortable and homely. My wife's only criticism was that it lacked a full length mirror, but that's easily remedied. I particularly liked the ipod dock. I wasn't expecting 21st century gizmos. Sadly we didn't have a chance to try the restaurant, but if breakfast is anything to go by, it should be splendid! Nick and Shiela... more

Just back from a 2 night stay and have returned impressed. Place is elegantly and stylishly furnished / equipped and with lots of nice touches. Food very good and pretty good value. Friendly service from owners who always in evidence and appear to do everything between them with extra (also friendly) additional help in the evenings for dinner. Not much... more

We chose the Abbots house for our 10th Wedding Anniversary weekend in May. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind from the hectic family life we'd left behind. Our room was comfortable with the most fantastic bath (plus option to watch TV whilst soaking!) The whole building has been beautifully renovated to a really high standard. It feels... more
