Wonderful views and a great spot right on the beach. Especially handy with 2 young children. We hired a 'family suite' (room no 2), yes it was expensive but the suite was spacious, clean and very comfortable and was worth the money for the views and access to the promenade. The breakfast hamper varied, pastries one day, meats and cheese... More

The position of this hotel is outstanding and the view from our suite on the top floor was just onderful. The room itself was bright and clean with modern decor. It was expensive though - perhaps more than it should be for what is otherwise a modest hotel. Breakfast was acceptable though one of the staff walking through the restaurant... More

Not obvious to navigate to on first arrival, but that's because you get to it from a beachside access road. Once dumping your stuff, there's a lockup garage 5 mins walk away down a quiet backstreet. Hotel was very clean & well maintained. reception was friendly, helpful & low-key. Fabulous position from seaview rooms:- to the Cobb (right) & Golden... More

Great location on the seafront with fantastic view of The Cobb but overpriced! 'Continental' breakfast with no cheeses or cold meats, just pastries and toast. Being asked for £7 upon checkout to park in the lock-up a 10 minute walk away was not expected and for £170 a night (out of season!) you would think would be included!

We stopped for 2 night (170£/night) at the Bay Leaf Hotel. No greeting on arrival, we had to find the car parking allocation somewhere in the village by using a bad hand made map. Back at the hotel " sorry we stop serving the dinner at 9:30 pm ".We stated at the booking time (by phone)we would like a room... More

We stopped at the Bay Leaf restaurant after a day walking along the beach. The staff were very friendly and the food was outstanding. I had the mussels ( large portion ), the best i'd eaten for a long time. They were beautifuly cooked with wild boar bacon and a wonderful creamy sauce. well worth the money. My husband had... More

My two kids and I came all the way from Ottawa, Canada, to stay at the Bay with my mother, who is from Lyme. Our suite was out of action - the heating broke - but we were more than compensated by getting the suite with the bay window overlooking the Cobb. My kids just sat in the window and... More

We stayed one night in Suite 7. All very good. Enjoyed the breakfast - there was enough bread included to make sandwiches for our lunchtime walk :). We forgot to ask for the Wifi password and when we remembered the reception was closed and no-one in the restaurant could help - so make sure you get it at check-in. Unfortunately,... More
