No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

Rebuilt seaside pub a few steps up from Lyme's Cobb Gate, doing shellfish and Dorset beer under a nautical roof. Dogs are taken in the front pub and everywhere outside, but not in the rear restaurant, so ring ahead if you want a table with the dog rather than a spot in the bar. Rooms upstairs are let as a boutique stay.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs are allowed in the front pub and all outdoor areas only; call ahead if you are booking a table with a dog.

Hotel Alexandra

DT7 3HZ
No reviews yet

Handsome 1735 house in gardens above the Cobb, the smartest address in Lyme and the best lawn to eat lunch on. Dogs are welcome in the gardens, the bar and the sitting room, but the hotel no longer takes them in any of the bedrooms, so this is a lunch stop rather than a dog-friendly stay. Worth knowing before you book.

Lyme Regis Front Beach
Beach SOME LIMITS

Lyme Regis Front Beach

Dogs banned MAY–SEP

The sandy town beach below Marine Parade, the one families aim for and the one dogs are shut out of in season. Dorset Council's order allows dogs here from 1 October to 30 April only. Monmouth Beach to the west and Church Cliff Beach to the east are open all year, and both are a two-minute walk away.

Nobody has written one for The Pilot Boat. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.

Get the new stamps first.

One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
