Guests appreciate the comfortable setting and the property's proximity to the beach and town centre. While some guests have suggested updates and mentioned maintenance issues, the quick response from the holiday service team is noted. The property's charm and the thoughtful welcome treats have made several guests eager to return.
Most guests found Riverview clean and comfortable. However, one review mentioned disappointment with the initial standard of cleanliness, which was promptly addressed. This suggests a generally high standard with occasional lapses.
The location is consistently praised for being close to the main street, beach, and offering sea views. It is considered an excellent spot for exploring Lyme Regis and enjoying the local ambiance.
The property is described as comfortable, homely, and spacious, with several guests noting the comfort of the beds. However, concerns about the suitability of the stairs for elderly guests slightly affect the score.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and lounge. Some maintenance issues were reported, such as a leaking shower hose and painted-shut windows, but were quickly fixed. The removal of a bath and the need for handrails were noted.
Guests mentioned a welcome bag of treats, which adds a thoughtful touch to their stay. While this is a positive aspect, it is important to note that such amenities may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

After a refreshing shower or soak in the bath, you’re ready to hit the streets and explore. Lyme Regis has a good selection of shops and amenities which are right on the doorstep of Riverview as well as the beach, harbour and causeway and a visit to the museum and aquarium is a must too.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes.

Had to waste time calling for assistance. Office was closed. Had to email, then speak to office the following morning. As the only toilet was constantly flushing! Shower hose was leaking also! Plus kitchen tap was dripping also! Both the toilet and shower were fixed promptly, but just wish housekeeping had sorted before our visit! Time wasted for us unfortunately! Regards Melanie
