Cobb Arms Reviews

Very friendly welcome - most convenient for other event of our visit. Room was cold on arrival, but warmed by the time we returned. Evening food adequate, but made up for by very friendly staff.

We had a great stay at The Cobb Arms, the staff were really welcoming and helpful. They were obviously in the midst of decorating some of the hall areas, so they were a bit untidy for good reasons. The bed was very comfortable and the bottled water was a nice touch. Just to be a bit pedantic - the secondary glazing doesn't fit in the bedroom or the bathroom so the curtains/blind wave in the wind! The room was cold on our first day so had to request heating be put on. The day we left there was no heating at all which was invigorating in November! I had scallops in the restaurant which were fantastic - and the breakfasts were delicious. The chef deserves a big shiny gold star!!!

Stayed just one night for a mini break. Great spot by the Cobb. Above a pub but didn’t have any issues with noise at all. A few stairs to rooms but again no problem. Very comfy bed.Great breakfast served by a very attentive and friendly young man called Adam. Will happily stay again.

Pros:Nice room, lovely friendly staff and a fantastic breakfast. Bar’s quirky and different really liked it. Hallway and stairs under renovation but looking good. Convenient location right on waters edge Cons: No Wi-Fi, no car park and council car park charges aren’t cheap although free after 9pm in summer and after 6pm in winter. Very nearly got a ticket

Nice and convenient to stay above the restaurant/pub. Close to the beach and lots of walking areas. Cute little places to have a pint or grab something to eat.

Lovely room, central location, friendly staff. We will visit again.

The staff work really hard including the young man and woman but everyone seemed frazzled so not really a relaxing environment but obviously they are doing their best and were polite and professional. The food was great, dinner and breakfast. The room was not so great, the bed was not comfortable for 2 people as one side was sloped and the toilet was challenging to flush. The remote was missing but we didn't want to go down and trouble very busy staff.

We have stayed here 5 times now but sadly the place is looking very tired and worn. Bed linen and towels are spotless but painting and carpets desperately need cleaning and refurbishing . Area to reach bedrooms behind kitchen are off putting as raw food is stacked and leads to outside and needs a good clean, hope this can be rectified Staff are lovely and helpful and restaurant and rooms are welcoming Food is good and place is really handy for beach and amenities Really hope this gets refurbished soon as it’s been a great place to stay otherwise may have to look elsewhere for next stay which we would rather not have to do

A lovely friendly Inn where we were welcomed warmly. Super bedrooms, we liked the decor- yellow/ gold in my Mum's room and silver/ pink in ours. The only problem we found was the long steep staircase up to the bedrooms which my Mum, aged 92, struggled to access. She needed a great amount of help as there were so many stairs together in one flight. We understand there isn't probably room for a lift in this older building, but this would have an impact on us visitng again with Mum or with people with similar levels of mobility. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay and are grateful that the kind gentleman on duty on Friday night let us stay to play cards in the bar well beyond bar closing time!

The perfect spot for a few days away. Lovely friendly staff. Food was amazing. Room and facilities perfect. Thank you for a lovely few days.

The Cobb Arms was in a perfect location for us walking the south west coastal path. Pros The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was really nice, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was delicious Cons We were made to pay before seeing the room. The route up to the room went past the kitchens. It smelt and the floor was very greasy and slippery. Would we stay again, Yes.

Perfect location, very comfortable room. Amazing service, fabulous breakfast and a very warm welcome. Only are that needs a little maintenance is the stairwell to the lovely rooms.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Furnished to an eclectic taste, like the rest of the pub. The pubs location on the Cobb in Lyme is great, especially for walking by the sea early morning or late evening. One issue, there is no parking at the Cobb arms. There is a council car park nearby at Monmouth beach, but it is very expensive. £1.60 per hour, up to 9pm. Then free overnight to 8am. It mounts up of you are there for s a few days.

Pros: excellent location (right on the pier), restaurant (food and view from window tables [window tables were reserved for guests staying at inn which was nice] order Lyme bay scallops), friendly & helpful staff, room decor, close proximity to car park (free at night). 2 Cons: 1. cleanliness could be better. Examples: room and drapes needed dusting, carpet on stairs and in room not very clean, flat sheet was used for mattress so mattress wasn’t properly covered, 2. half glass to cover shower so have to be careful not to spray water into bathroom (becoming an issue with quite a few places so not a deal breaker!).
