Kerrington House

Beautiful hotel. Lovely imposing building with onsite parking. We had a family room & were pleased to note that a proper single bed (rather than camp bed/ sofa bed) had been set up for our teenage daughter. We walked into town in the evening- 10 mins most. (Great Italian btw) The room was warm and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and the young girl serving exceptional. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering a stay.

1. The reception is only open for 4 hours (4-8pm) unless you pay £40. We wanted to leave our bags around 1pm before the wedding and the only way is to pay £40 for the host to come to the House. 2. Their "single bed" is actually a folded sofa bed, which was way too old and you could feel the strings underneath. Their double bed is way too soft to the point it hurts your back. 3. Breakfast had many options to choose but very blend taste. 4. The worst thing was how passive-aggressive the Host was. When one of us forgot to order an egg for breakfast and tried to add it, the Host was triple-checked with a poor girl working there to make sure that it was our fault that we forgot to order. It really made us feel uncomfortable.

A beautiful small privately run hotel. Rooms were amazing. We stayed in room 2 (wisteria) overlooking the garden. The room was fabulous. Bed comfortable and room beautifully decorated. Amenities included robes, toiletries, tea and coffee facilities with nice coffee. Water,biscuits and chocolates included. Not only a hair dryer but also straighteners and a hot brush. I have naturally curly hair so didn't need them, but impressed with the selection. Breakfast was fantastic with a good choice on the menu. The staff were lovely, professional, friendly and helpful. We will definitely return here if we return to Axminster.

This small hotel in Axminster is ideally placed for getting easily to places of interest on the Jurassic coast. It offers a lovely base in a Victorian house. Fiona gave an excellent breakfast with lots of choice and great service. Our room was at the top of the house with a large shower room and lots of toiletries, it was very comfortable. There is parking on site which is always a good point when booking accommodation.

Kerrington House is a delight. Fiona was very welcoming, and a lovely host. The room was nice and airy and very clean. The inclusive breakfast was delicious with a wide choice of options from continental to full English. Would definitely stay here again.

Conveniently located close to Lyme Regis with parking space for guests. Close to local amenities (shops & restaurants). Wonderful spacious room and bathroom. Amazing and very complete breakfast option included. Wonderful owner and staff. Didn't see any places nearly as appealing in the region and after the visit I doubt there's anything that would match the stay.

Thank you Fiona for making our stay so good. Everything you could need in the room, all toiletries, hairdryer, straighteners and curling tongs, bath robes. A very good choice at Breakfast in the morning served by very charming, polite young girls. Would definitely recommend.

We were down on the south coast for the weekend and decided to stay over on the sunday evening. Credit to Mrs Moose for finding this gem. There was a warm welcome from the host and this is a good location for exploring the coastline. The bed was comfy, the bathroom large. Although the room wasn't especially large, the presence of two very comfortable chairs was welcomed. I sat in the garden enjoying some late afternoon sunshine. Breakfast was lovely - all freshly cooked. Mrs Moose went for a poached egg on toast (you really nailed the poached egg!) while I had the full english - definitely a place to recommend.

Spent a week in The Porters Lodge at Kerrington House Hotel, Axmouth. Our accomodation was great, the sitting room was very spacious with a good amount of comfy chairs. Wide screen TV. Patio doors leading out to garden, with a table and chairs. The kitchen was well equipped, with a cooker, fridge and a dishwasher, toaster and microwave. Really nice touch with the dressing gowns in the bathroom. Fiona was a most lovely host we would certainly stay at The Porters Lodge again. Fiona's dog Beatrice is a lovely cuddly Newfoundland. So easy to get to Weymouth, Lyme Regis and the coast.
