Love this place. It's right on the Cobb and it's brilliant for walking. Staff are lovely and the place is great for those taking their dogs on holiday too. 10/10
Lovely position on the Cob itself… good for beach and parking. Good walk along the front to work up to shops if you prefer a less steep climb.
Bed was not comfy sadly but room had tea, coffee and biscuits. A little tired, especially the bed.
Staff lovely and helpful.
Breakfast very good.

Very busy area right on the waterfront, and amazingly quiet considering how busy the pub was. Great shower, convenient to swimming area, walkable to while area and fossil hunting. WiFi issues the
Only drawback.
Brilliantly situated near the Cobb, beaches, car parks and all Lyme Regis has to offer. Comfy rooms, separate guest entrance, very lovely breakfasts.
Lovely staff in restaurant at breakfast.
Great two night stay.
Location was very good - although we parked miles away. Friendly staff, nicely decorated bedroom and decent breakfast - apart from no marmalade. TV didn’t work but that didn’t matter.
A really friendly, welcoming pub - and good value for money in Lyme.
Food is very good, staff really friendly, any problems resolved quickly with good grace.
Would recommend to anyone for a comfy stay.
Good value pub accommodation. Exceptionally clean room with good facilities. Location excellent. Breakfast and evening bar meals of good standard. Do have to pay for nearby parking which for a two night stay could come to about £40 extra but worth it for the convenience. A few minor snags with room but not significant. Staff very helpful and friendly.
It's a great pub, right by the harbour. The food was amazing, we had dinner and breakfast.
The room was clean and had all the bits you need, kettle, tea/coffee etc. Bottled water by the bed. The ensuite bathroom was good as well.
It's a small place, only 3 rooms, so breakfast was only 9-10, which might catch you out if you want early start. But the breakfast was really good!

We had a good stay at the Cobb arms. The staff are very nice and the breakfast was lovely. Very convenient location. Beds were small and not very comfortable.

Nice and convenient to stay above the restaurant/pub. Close to the beach and lots of walking areas. Cute little places to have a pint or grab something to eat.
Very friendly welcome - most convenient for other event of our visit.
Room was cold on arrival, but warmed by the time we returned.
Evening food adequate, but made up for by very friendly staff.
Charming inn house in a great location. Easily walkable to most of town and the beaches. We visited mid-week in September, so we had no trouble finding parking in the nearby pay and display lot. There's no a/c, so you will want to keep the windows open. I can imagine it could get noisy in the high season, but we were not bothered for our visit. Overall, I would recommend it.
Stayed just one night for a mini break. Great spot by the Cobb. Above a pub but didn’t have any issues with noise at all. A few stairs to rooms but again no problem. Very comfy bed.Great breakfast served by a very attentive and friendly young man called Adam. Will happily stay again.
The Cobb Arms was in a perfect location for us walking the south west coastal path.
Pros
The staff were friendly and helpful.
The room was really nice, comfortable and clean.
The breakfast was delicious
Cons
We were made to pay before seeing the room.
The route up to the room went past the kitchens. It smelt and the floor was very greasy and slippery.
Would we stay again, Yes.
Pros:Nice room, lovely friendly staff and a fantastic breakfast. Bar’s quirky and different really liked it. Hallway and stairs under renovation but looking good. Convenient location right on waters edge
Cons: No Wi-Fi, no car park and council car park charges aren’t cheap although free after 9pm in summer and after 6pm in winter. Very nearly got a ticket

Beautiful but a little tired
We have stayed here 5 times now but sadly the place is looking very tired and worn. Bed linen and towels are spotless but painting and carpets desperately need cleaning and refurbishing . Area to reach bedrooms behind kitchen are off putting as raw food is stacked and leads to outside and needs a good clean, hope this can be rectified
Staff are lovely and helpful and restaurant and rooms are welcoming
Food is good and place is really handy for beach and amenities
Really hope this gets refurbished soon as it’s been a great place to stay otherwise may have to look elsewhere for next stay which we would rather not have to do

The staff work really hard including the young man and woman but everyone seemed frazzled so not really a relaxing environment but obviously they are doing their best and were polite and professional.
The food was great, dinner and breakfast.
The room was not so great, the bed was not comfortable for 2 people as one side was sloped and the toilet was challenging to flush. The remote was missing but we didn't want to go down and trouble very busy staff.
We booked this hotel using clubcard vouchers, it was handy to find a place to stay in the centre of Lyme Regis which allowed dogs to stay. The location was brilliant and we loved being able to park the car up the road and leave it there so we could enjoy the beautiful town.
The absolutely best thing about our stay was the service as everyone was so friendly, welcoming and couldn't be more helpful. The breakfast was wonderful, very tasty with generous portions. The way they cooked the tomatoes especially was delicious! We loved having a view of the harbour while we ate.
The room was nice - very clean and attractive. We slept well. I liked how there was enough tea and milk for more than one drink each.
I would suggest the bathroom needs a modern update at some point, plus a shelf for your toiletries and it would be lovely to have clean windows as it's not a bad view from room 1. It was great that the windows opened for fresh air.
We'll definitely come back again.
We had a great stay at The Cobb Arms, the staff were really welcoming and helpful. They were obviously in the midst of decorating some of the hall areas, so they were a bit untidy for good reasons. The bed was very comfortable and the bottled water was a nice touch. Just to be a bit pedantic - the secondary glazing doesn't fit in the bedroom or the bathroom so the curtains/blind wave in the wind! The room was cold on our first day so had to request heating be put on. The day we left there was no heating at all which was invigorating in November! I had scallops in the restaurant which were fantastic - and the breakfasts were delicious. The chef deserves a big shiny gold star!!!
A lovely friendly Inn where we were welcomed warmly. Super bedrooms, we liked the decor- yellow/ gold in my Mum's room and silver/ pink in ours.
The only problem we found was the long steep staircase up to the bedrooms which my Mum, aged 92, struggled to access. She needed a great amount of help as there were so many stairs together in one flight. We understand there isn't probably room for a lift in this older building, but this would have an impact on us visitng again with Mum or with people with similar levels of mobility.
Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay and are grateful that the kind gentleman on duty on Friday night let us stay to play cards in the bar well beyond bar closing time!
