Fernhill

A peaceful retreat in a Jurassic Coast hotel

Welcome to your perfect Jurassic Coast getaway

Tucked away in woodlands on the edge of Charmouth and a walk into Lyme Regis, our independent family-run hotel, a lovingly restored Georgian residence, is the perfect escape for couples who want to slow down, stretch their legs, and explore the Devon, Dorset & Somerset countryside and coastlines.

Whether you’re searching for  a countryside hideaway, a relaxing stay near the sea, or peaceful Lyme Regis accommodation, you’ll find it here – close to Charmouth and Lyme Regis, yet away from the hustle and bustle.

A Hotel near Lyme Regis, but without the crowds

With just 10 elegant en-suite bedrooms, an outdoor heated pool, Dining room, and cosy Bar & Snug, we combine the comforts of home with the charm of a country house retreat. Tucked away from the busy tourist spots, yet only a scenic walk or short drive to Lyme Regis or Charmouth, our location offers the best of both worlds

Step outside and onto the Jurassic Coastal Path

Fernhill Woodlands is directly on the world-famous Jurassic Coastal Path, so you can leave the car and walk from our front door. Discover dramatic cliffs, fossil-filled beaches and perfect countryside trails – all from your doorstep.

The Jurassic coastal bus stops at the end of our drive, offering car-free holiday access to Charmouth, Lyme Regis and beyond.

A Stay that puts you first

We believe in slowing things down and making space for calm. That’s why we often close our doors to the public, so guests enjoy a more private and peaceful atmosphere during their stay.

  • Your space, your pace – Your room is your own private retreat. We won’t enter without arrangement, but your daily essentials are always replenished.
  • Sustainable, zero waste dining – Enjoy delicious, whole food menus, cooked in-house to your advance menu choices.
  • Tailored recommendations – From gentle strolls to day trips, we’re happy to help you make the most of your stay in Lyme Regis and beyond.

Ideal for couples, reunions and special gatherings

Our intimate size is perfect for romantic stays near Lyme Regis, but also great for family gatherings and  large group stays, with shared spaces to relax and connect.

Relax after the day’s adventures

After a day of walking and exploring, return to our heated outdoor pool, enjoy a quiet drink in the bar, or simply unwind in the snug with a good book.
