Had pain with a molar over a number of months and Crewkerne Dentist Centre (& Jason Salvador Swords in particular) had always fitted me in at short notice; tried various treatments (not always charged) which eased, for a period, but also checked on tooth once removed (by oral surgeon) as I had some issues, again without charge. Very happy with his service and all the staff there are lovely. Thank you šŸ™

Alain and the team were amazing. Although the word amazing is not a word I would usually associate with a visit to the dentist, his compassionate and professional manner put me at ease and enabled me to remain calm and relaxed. Moreover, the whole team a Crewkerne are a credit to dentistry in general. Good luck trying to find a better group of humans to help in your hour of need! My sincere thanks to everyone. And although I canā€™t honestly say Iā€™m looking forward to my next appointment, Iā€™m not filled with dread and anxiety when I think about returning in the future!

I have used Dorset electrical in the last couple of months for an extension on my house . I found Gavin and his team very professional and helpful and nothing was ever a problem. They made the job stress free and the work is of the highest quality.

Always been delighted with the work from Dorset Electrical. Our house isn't easy at times, with lathe and plaster walls Mark, our regular electrician has always managed to find a way to do the job neatly and in good time.

I've used Dorset Electrical many time, from simple light switch change to a complete loft rewire. Always on time, tidy and professional. Good advice always given and never any issues with the work. I wouldn't go anywhere else for any electrical work.

Yup, the good reviews are on point. Gavin & his team did a full rewire of my house, and every aspect of working with him was A1. Starting with a detailed and fair quote; he made great suggestions that I hadn't thought of; the works, and communications were done well and on time; he was flexible to changes in my plans....generally speaking, he has a great attitude, so all-in-all I could relax and trust that the job was in good hands.

I have used Gavin and his team for some outside lighting installation on an Aircraft Hangar at Bournemouth Airport which I am very satisfied with. Dorset Electrical are an excellent choice for industrial electrical installation requirements. From start to finish very professional and safe at all times and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

We went there twice in early September. Food was spectacular. The half lobster was an absolute delight and the local sea food was all so fresh . The local cider was delicious. Best part was the cheery chat and repartee, patience and knowledge of the staff. Great sitting outside looking across the bay where we had had a great fishing trip that afternoon.

Dropped into Tom's as we were after a decent seafood restaurant whilst we were in Devon. Well worth a try. Tom is a Royal Academy of Culinary Arts trained chef and he is front and centre of the restaurant plating up in front of the guests. We had the John Dory and Sea bream that were both delicious. His team were brilliant with our kids and gave them colouring in to do and made a fuss of them which was great. Wishing them all the best!

Hubby and I stopped here this evening whilst passing through Lyme Regis on gallery deliveries. It was around 5:30pm and quite a few places were closed but Tomā€™s had twinkling fairy lights and looked very inviting as we walked along the prom. We only wanted two latteā€™s as we still had a long drive ahead of us but we received a friendly welcome and took a seat outside. The coffee came in a large cup and was delicious! Hot and fresh and perfect for sipping whilst enjoying the fresh air and watching the waves rolling in. The restaurant is beautiful and the menus sounds great - Iā€™m only sorry we could stay for dinner but I have bookmarked Tomā€™s place on my Google Map and definitely aim to stop by for lunch next time weā€™re in the area! Thanks guys, youā€™re doing everything right! Keep up the good work :)

We had an outstanding dinner here. Loved all of the dishes really. Excellent flavors and all well prepared and cooked. The scallops (a new variation on Tomā€™s dish from what we understood) may have stolen the show but the lobster and Dartmoor Beef were absolute contenders. A fresh plate of oysters. Great service and we felt well attended to. Beautiful views of the coast. We left our experience ready to recommend to others and will do so in this post as well. Food from a kitchen that cares. Kudos to the whole team.

Fantastic beach for fossil hunting, but beware of the landslides! Beautiful bay, with facilities, cafe and shop. Parking is paid for at the machine (or by parking app) and might be more expensive than the large carpark, but is contiguous with the sand and water. There's a tap with free water for dogs and/or wetsuits etc to wash off the salt. If you are unsteady on your feet be aware of pebbles in the carpark which may affect your stability. Not a particularly touristy place, more locals really in my humble opinion, but friendly and people seem to be helpful. You can hire various instructors, lessons, boat charters etc to enhance your experience. Esther (with her paddle boarding, fitness and yoga) is worthy of a mention! Whilst here you might feel adventurous and walk/climb up Golden Cap, the highest point in southern England, whose views are spectacular. You won't be disappointed!

Parking is rather pricey if you want more than a couple of hours...but that can easily be used up after hunting for fossils. Great little finds and friendly people all getting stuck into hunting for fossils or stones!

Spent the afternoon wandering up and down the beach enjoying the fresh air looking for fossils. Although we didn't find much it was still very entertaining. Go when the tide is receding as it is exposing new stuff all the time and be aware that the cliffs can be unstable. Good visitor centre, car parks and toilets available.

Little Gem šŸ’Ž Great food and staff. Really welcoming. A throwback to the type of family run establishment you'd find years ago but with a mix of modern and traditional on the menu. All food and cakes were excellent but I semi expected that. The slight shock was the coffee which would put some of the best artisan coffee houses charging triple the price to shame!

Super friendly and accommodating, especially of our large family group trying to escape the unpredictable weather, even with a young baby! Everyone had delicious food, the chips were stand-out! Gluten-free and dairy-free needs were well-catered for. Tasty coffee. Nice and quiet and comfy inside, none of the usual noisy cafe sounds! Couldnā€™t recommend this wonderful cafe more.

We found this a really great hotel outside Lyme Regis. We stayed 2 nights, the room was very comfortable and the food was excellent. We had a dinner and breakfast in both days. They were delicious, well served and the quantities were very good. The bar was also very good and the outdoor pool was a bonus. This is a very differently managed hotel compared to many hotels these days, the customer service is second to none - a breath of fresh air and the price was reasonable. We had a lovely stay.

We stayed for 5 nights at the beginning of June 2024. Excellent experience from Jo & Rob the proprietors who were very much hands-on, nothing was too much trouble for them. Great location if you want somewhere quiet 2 miles from Lyme Regis. We booked an en suite Spa King room which was very comfortable and spotlessly clean as was all the hotel. Plentiful hot and cold breakfast and dinner were served at our allocated table in the dining room. We don't usually write reviews because normally you get what you pay for, but this is different.

We recently spent three very enjoyable nights here. The Fernhill Hotel is elegant and well organised in a quiet location. We had a spacious bedroom overlooking the pool and woods with a super comfy bed. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the hotel dining room where delightful Cody looked after us very well. The location is lovely but nowhere was really walkable for us as we found the woodland walk in to Charmouth very uneven and a bit tricky. No doubt a younger couple would be fine. However we had nice trips to the surrounding towns. All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.Thank you Jo and your team.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here before visiting the Marine Theatre. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, food was excellent, I had whole plaice which was cooked to perfection and my husband had the steak and ale pie with roasted veg which he said were very tasty.

Very friendly place to eat and dogs are welcome too. I had the fish and chips and I think it was the best I've ever had. Crispy thin batter, nice thick piece of fish (fresh I think) and delicious minted crushed peas plus chunky chips. The only issue was the front and rear doors were open the whole time and I was a bit cold sitting inside. I would recommend.

The location is absolutely stunning, with Golden Cap behind and a view down to the Isle of Portland. This place really is a treat, service is excellent but, it can get very, very busy and you may have to wait for seating. It is on the pricey side too, so as I said, it's a treat. Ask for extra salt on the Padron peppers and you won't be disappointed. Beers were in good condition. A great place to while away a warm summer's evening.

A good restaurant in a great location ! Market fish was the best choice on the menu! Extremely fresh and perfectly cooked, accompanied by fennel and good buttered bread. I must say I was a little disappointed with the bouillabaisse... A bit coarse for my French-educated palate... And the apple cake was as beautiful as amber but not very subtle and not rich enough in apples for my taste. The staff were extremely friendly, polite, smiling and efficient. Impeccable hygiene and one of the nicest toilets (perhaps not what you'd expect from a restaurant review, but how important it is! Particularly when you're on the road a lot, it's important that the place where you stop offers comfort in this respect too, and even better with a touch of aesthetics. I highly recomand šŸ©µ

We came for a roast dinner on a rainy Sunday. The service was incredible. The food was delicious. The only problem was the portion size - barely enough meat on the plate to make a sandwich let alone a Sunday roast. Otherwise all good.
