Great hotel and brilliant location

Great stay. Lovely location. Bathroom needs some upgrading and the water pressure was very low. Dinner was great. Location was fantastic. Service from Carrie was first rate. She was attentive, professional and caring.

Great hotel - make sure you prebook to use Pool!!

Positives:- - Free parking (first come first served) - Beautiful Room and wonderful sea view from the balcony - Bathroom spotless - Great breakfast selection - Pool (prebooking required) small but good for lengths and jacuzzi very relaxing. - Staff all very welcoming and polite Negatives:- - Breakfast time slot needs to be prebooked - Swimming pool time slot needs to be prebooked - No air con (room gets quite hot in the morning) - No telephone in room to call reception Overall a great time was had at The Royal Lion. A convenient town center location with free parking onsite. We weren't told on booking or arrival that we needed to prebook the swimming pool which meant we couldn't have a swim on our first morning. It was strange that the rooms furthest from reception didn't have a phone but the rooms closest to reception did? Not a major problem, just a little peculiar. Would highly recommend, just make sure you get your pool time prebooked if you want to use it!!

Hotel is very nice and excellently situated with on site parking a huge bonus. Room was clean and well equipped but bed was a bit hard for my tastes and shower wasn't great (a shower head from a bath had been fitted and so it didn't sit in the bracket correctly). The breakfast was very nice with a decent range of options and staff were uniformly polite and helpful.

The receptionist was wonderful, helpful and friendly. The bar was bright, unwelcoming and not a place you would want to spend anytime or money in. Needs a refurbishment and lighting reviewed to make it a warm environment which it definitely isn’t. The first room was supposed to have a sea view but there was a very large plum tree which obscured it completely. We were booked for a last breakfast (our choice) and it wasn’t great and obviously been held under the lights. The site is extremely convenient in the centre of the town but could be soo much better. Come on Hall and Woodhouse, you’ve got amazing people let down by the substandard environment they are working in. Hall and Woodhouse you could do so much better and there’s no competition in this town apart from air b n b???

We were in the annexe part, and although our room, bathroom and balcony were great, every night hundreds of seagulls landed on our roof, running up and down squawking, I only had 2 hours sleep the first night. I’m told measures are being put in place to solve this problem. I don’t recommend rooms 31-35!

A quality Hotel in the heart of the town. Our room and its comfort was excellent. It was clean and well decorated with a spotless walk in shower. The staff were very polite, caring and interested. Big choices for breakfast, that were excellent. The only downside was the wi fi which didnt work away from the main building.

Great hotel in the heart of Lyme Regis

Great Hotel in superb location right in the middle of Lyme Regis. We were initially worried about parking, but on the day that we stayed there were plenty of places to park at the hotel and the car booking in system straightforward. We ate an evening meal in the hotel restaurant - typical pub fare but a few things were unavailable. Staff levels slightly low. Breakfast was really good, the staff very attentive and managed to customise my breakfast exactly as I wanted.

Lovely sea view from balcony. A large comfortable and very clean, well decorated room. Car park a little tight but managed to get a space the whole stay. Only issue was seagulls on the roof. Earplugs sorted that out
