The Experience
Views soar up the Jurassic coast all the way to Chesil Beach and on to Portland Bill. It sits high on the hill with one foot in town and the other paddling in the water. Directly below, the Cobb curls into the sea. Outside, there’s a sun-trapping garden, where guests fall asleep in deckchairs, then a lookout tower with big sea views for a romantic dinner for two.
Inside, an easy elegance flows: stripped wood floors, windows everywhere, an airy bar for pre-dinner drinks, an attractive sitting room with lots of books. There’s a smart breakfast room (delicious continental or full English, smoked salmon with avocado, poached eggs) that could double as a ballroom, then a sun-filled conservatory for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Both offer tasty, local food – perhaps Lyme Bay scallops, chicken with cavolo nero, a white chocolate mousse.

The sea views from the room are gorgeous; terrific staff - all lovely, responsive, professional, and the hotel itself is charming. I love the dining room experience and the breakfasts are wonderful. I love nearly everything about the Alexandra in fact. A perfect day for me is eating one of their huge breakfasts, walking to Golden Cap and getting back in time for a long soak in the bath and an early supper. Bliss. The only downside is the infuriating milk sachets in the room that are too small and splash everywhere when opened. But to make up for that, the biscuits are superb.

We had just the most fabulous couple of nights at the Alexandra. It's conveniently situated in the heart of Lyme without feeling like it, and is beautifully appointed. Our bedroom had spectacular views of the bay and was comfortable and stylish. The food was great and the staff couldn't have been any friendlier or helpful.

The Alexandra is a special family run hotel with a carefully maintained and innovative garden, gently sloping down to a beautiful panorama of Lyme Bay. The Hotel directly overlooks the historic Cobb protecting the harbor. The old building built in 1735 is full of character and unusual decor ideas. The staff were all helpful and friendly. For those with mobility problems there are ground floor rooms with a little patio looking out to the sea. The rooms are exceptionally well cleaned. The Alexandra follows a green agenda. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this lovely place.

Recently spent 8 nights here on a Dinner, Bed & Breakfast basis & our experience was perfect - just perfect. From booking to checkout everything was handled remarkably well & nothing was too much trouble. The Staff, without exception, are welcoming, warm & friendly. The bedrooms are very well furnished & comfortable offering every conceivable luxury whilst not compromising the Hotel's environmentally friendly & highest of "green" standards. Breakfast, lunch & dinner are exceptional offering delicious well cooked & presented meals using the highest quality local produce. What's not to love!!

Location
The neighbourhood
You're within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants on the high street. The beach is a 2-minute walk for lovely picnics, swimming and paddle boarding, foraging for fossils. Sandy beaches are also nearby and you can join the Coast Path with a packed lunch ordered from the hotel. There are plenty of activities from January's costumed hurl into the sea to fireworks in November.
Local points of interest from Kathryn Haskins

- Rock Pooling AdventuresOur guide will introduce you to a rock pool like never before! You will hunt for and learn about the creatures that live in these wonderful little habitats, teaming with life.
- On the SeaWater sports are a major part of life in Lyme. Swimming, Water Skiing, Sailing and Windsurfing keep the famous Cobb Harbour alive with activity during the summer months.
- Coastal pleasure trips, mackerel fishing and deep sea fishing are all available from Lyme’s quaint harbour.
- Nature WalksThere are many ‘Heritage’ coastal pathways both east and west of the town. As these paths wind their way along cliffs and through woodlands, stunning sea and landscapes may be enjoyed.
