Candida and Hugh have made their charming house even more beautiful with handmade wallpaper in the best arts & crafts tradition, magnificent and comfortable 4-poster beds, nourishing breakfasts to start the day in this gem of a town and their own (and cat Isis's) warm and friendly welcome. We will definitely return.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Little Place/Art B&B. We booked very last minute for just one night. We had planned to go somewhere cheaper the second night but as soon as we arrived we knew we didn't want to be anywhere else - we booked a second night and could have happily stayed a lot longer.

We stayed for 2 nights and everything about this place is magical. From the hand painted wallpaper to the home made cups and the gang of chickens in the little wood. We even bought some of the art from our charming host Hugh.

I cannot recommend this place enough. We had a wonderful weekend in Lyme Regis staying at this very lovely B&B. Its unique arty decor, spacious and comfortable room and very special breakfast (amazing yogurt and homemade bread) made it one to remember. And home-made cookies! The hosts, Hugh and Candida, were super welcoming and helpful. Thank you! Jo and Joe

We could not recommend Arty B and B more highly. We stayed there for two nights as part of a literary tour of Dorset. Hugh and Candida are very welcoming. The rooms are clean and comfortable with lots of bohemian flourishes, which tells us that they have been put together with flare and care. We loved the House, it has... More

We stayed at this lovely house with our one year old son. The red room is great with its four poster and adjoining shower room and lavatory. The house is beautiful with Hugh's art everywhere; wallpaper, paintings, prints, post cards and most excellent bread at breakfast. They coped with our vegan diet and supplied copious tea at breakfast. Hope to... More

As lovers of organic home made food we were delighted by Hugh´s bread and marmalade. That was just the icing of the cake. A very warm welcome once we arrived and an amazing view from our room made us feel at home straight away. We only stayed for a night in our very comfortable, quite and beautifully decorated with hand... More

Just had a lovely winter weekend here. Beautifully decorated red room, plenty of space and very comfortable. Loved the house - welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and came away inspired to try some simple printing which was an unexpected bonus! The view from the garden only appeared briefly through the mist but was worth the wait. If you eat out, don't... More

One of the best views in Lyme, staying in this wonderfully Bohemian house full of colour, light and character, was an absolute treat, with stunning hand-printed wallpaper adorning the bedroom walls, vibrant paintings througout, and getting to meet the Artist and his lovely ecological and creative wife - we can't wait to go back.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Come and stay the weekend, or longer, in our beautiful Georgian home in the pretty seaside town of Lyme Regis, the Pearl of West Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.Here in Lyme Regis you will never be bored. You can laze on a beach, collect fossils or jetsam from the Victorian dump that is crumbling onto the shoreline. You can trawl the shops or eat yourself silly. It takes a morning to explore the face of this charming Georgian gem, but this is a small town with a large town’s appetite for adventure.Turn to the page Things to Do, or ask Hugh when you arrive – what’s new?Decorated in handprinted wallpapers, paintings of the coast and of the artist’s family, this studio home* is set in the very heart of the town. Little Place is just off Broad Street, the main drag, and Langmoor Gardens with its celebrated view and access to the ancient Cobb, the harbour and the beach. We have two rooms with en suite shower. you can have breakfast on the verandah with a stunning sea view overlooking Golden Cap. Most of the breakfast is home made produce; and we also strive to live in an environmentally friendly way.“One of the prettiest places in the UK” as recently described by John Sargeant, Lyme Regis and especially Little Place continue to be an inspiration to its present artist owners. Here’s your opportunity to share that inspiration by staying in a quite unique house in this jewel of a seaside town.This arty house has pedigree. For many years it was the home of Sir Laurence Whistler, The Queen’s Glass Engraver. He left his mark on several beautiful windows about the house.This is a creative, working house and we welcome those who respect a quiet atmosphere. Your host Hugh is a working artist with a busy practice in portraits, landscapes, & lino prints together with textiles & wallpaper making. ... more   less
