Pubs in West Dorset are some of the best in the UK, at the heart of local communities and providing a great attraction for visitors. Now Palmers Brewery in Bridport is asking people to recommend their favourites, whether they are Palmers’ pubs or not, to The Good Pub Guide.

An independent consultants’ report into the viability of re-converting The Three Cups Hotel in Lyme Regis into a hotel has found that the costs of re-conversion are so large that the scheme is uneconomic. Palmers Brewery, which owns The Three Cups, will now consult widely with the local community to find a way forward.

The independent report into the viability of reconverting The Three Cups in Lyme Regis back into a working hotel will be published at the end of January, said Palmers Brewery. The report from hospitality specialists TRI Consulting will assess the market opportunity and financial viability of re-opening The Three Cups as a hotel.
