Dorset House is a five-bedroom Grade II Listed Georgian Bed and Breakfast in Lyme Regis, overlooking the Jurassic Coast. The house dates back to the early 19th century and has served many purposes over two centuries before becoming the boutique bed and breakfast it is today. Each of its five rooms has its own character, from sea views to quiet garden corners. You're perfectly placed to explore the Jurassic Coast, with fossil hunting, coastal walks and water activities close by, as well as Lyme Regis's restaurants, art galleries and independent shops. Nearby you'll also find Lyme Regis Front Beach, Town Mill, Dinosaurland Fossil Museum and Lyme Regis Museum, all within a short walk of the house.
