Fernhill Hotel in Lyme Regis, England

Fernhill Hotel holds the GTBS Gold award for Green Tourism, a certification that validates its environmental practices. The hotel operates a Zero Waste kitchen where all meals are pre-ordered to eliminate food waste. Local produce and artisan partnerships are prioritised in the kitchen, and the dining menu offers vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options.

With only 10 rooms, Fernhill Hotel offers an intimate setting with personalised attention from the owners. Each room is furnished with Egyptian cotton linen and White Co. toiletries. Guests can pre-book private pool access to guarantee exclusive use during their stay.

The hotel's restaurant serves à la carte dinner seven days a week, with all ingredients sourced from local farms and artisan suppliers. Breakfast and dinner are pre-ordered the day before to match the Zero Waste kitchen policy. Homemade shortbread biscuits are provided in rooms, and special diet menus (including dairy-free and gluten-free) are always available.

A seasonal outdoor heated pool is set within acres of woodland, meadows, and ponds. The pool area includes sun loungers, a fence around the pool, and a shallow end for children. Pool covers and a heating system maintain the water temperature, and the pool is pre-bookable to ensure exclusivity for guests.

The hotel sits directly on the Jurassic Coastal path, providing walking access to both Lyme Regis Front Beach and Charmouth. Dinosaurland Fossil Museum is a short drive away, and the property offers ample free on-site parking. A bus stop at the hotel entrance connects to Lyme Regis and other coastal towns.
