Places to stay and eat

Visitors to the Marine often ask us for the best place for a meal or to stay. These are our recommendations: the best Lyme Regis has to offer.

The Oyster & Fish House

Marine theatre tickets holders can now enjoy a fantastic two course pre-theatre meal for £21 or an unforgettable 3 course meal for £25. This deal is only applicable on the Marine’s evening events and you must bring your Marine Theatre ticket confirmation to access this offer.

Perched on the hillside offering panoramic views of The Cobb and Jurassic Coast, The Oyster & Fish House is arguably the most picturesque spot in Dorset to enjoy locally sourced fish and seafood from local chef and restaurateur Mark Hix. A large terrace wraps around the informal, light and airy dining room with floor to ceiling windows offering a view from every angle. Our newly built dog-friendly deck sits to the side of the restaurant with tables and counter tops to enjoy lunch and dinner, or just a seasonal cocktail and Dorset oysters.

Just a short walk through the gardens, The Oyster & Fish House is the perfect spot for a pre- or post-theatre meal.

The Pilot Boat

The Pilot Boat has 3 beautifully appointed boutique letting rooms all complete with oversize bathrooms 4k television, mini bar and stunning views out to sea or over the river.

This is a Tudor townhouse with a colourful past. It’s all here: The Duke of Monmouth, Oscar Wilde, and a box of love letters found after WWII American soldiers stayed.

Tony and Alex have loved discovering the history and bringing this old house back to life. They’re a creative, immensely likeable pair and their vintage finds from French trips abound. Bedrooms are romantic with lavender-scented drawers, tea trays, perhaps an antique gilt mirror, Liberty wallpaper or flame-pink cushion. There’s a summery breakfast room, wood fires burning bright all winter and orchids in every corner.
