The Alexandra Hotel

About The Alexandra Hotel

The Alexandra occupies a Georgian dower house set in terraced gardens on the cliff above Lyme Regis harbour, giving many of its rooms uninterrupted views across Lyme Bay. It has operated as a hotel for well over a century and combines that long history with a contemporary approach to its food and service.

Bedrooms mix garden and sea-facing views, with several opening directly onto the lawns; the restaurant makes strong use of Dorset produce and local seafood, and there is a bar terrace that fills up on summer evenings for the view alone. The hotel is a short, level-then-downhill walk from The Cobb and the town's museums.

Its garden setting and quieter position slightly above the main seafront make it a popular choice for couples and for guests wanting a more restful base than the busier harbourside streets, while remaining close enough to walk everywhere in town.
