Alexandra Hotel

Hotel review

Family friendly seaside hotels don't get much better than the Alexandra. Its location alone would persuade most people to book (the views over Lyme Bay and the Cobb Harbour are simply magnificent from its clifftop spot), but add to that individually designed rooms, an award-winning restaurant and wine cellar, plus gym, treatment room and large garden with path leading down to the beach, and it becomes irresistible! There are a wide range of rooms many with wonderful seaviews, most able to accommodate children and all featuring Egyptian cotton bed linen, and lovely complimentary smellies produced from marine extracts. The style is elegant, but with a relaxed vibe too - think stripped wooden floors, large windows and statement wallpaper in the bedrooms. Dining is a delight, whether you choose the Alexandra Restaurant or the Conservatory (don't miss the catch of the day) and children's menus are available both at lunch and supper. For those who prefer a bit more independence there are also a couple of apartments which can sleep up to six. The ideal place from which to explore the Jurassic Coast or simply relax and enjoy the English seaside at its best.
