Lovely hotel. Highly recommend.

Really lovely hotel. Very conveniently positioned. Had a lovely balcony room and the staff were so very friendly and professional. Only grievance was not being able to turn down, or off, the towel rail. Was too hot to the touch and also made the bathroom and bedroom way too hot.

Perfect accommodation for our family trip to Lyme Regis, our children and dog were welcomed and felt so comfortable, very rare for us to visit the same place twice but I’d make an exception for the Royal Lion, we had the best time

Really enjoyed my stay here, unfortunately only one night for us this time and sadly didn't get a chance to try the pool as very busy. I loved the historical aspect to the hotel being built a coaching house in 1601. The hotel itself was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was good and there was a lot of choice.

Located in the main street only a short walk to the sea shore and with convenient parking which is a definite plus given the location. Staff were friendly and the historic building had bags of charm. The room was adequate for one person and well appointed.

The room was suppose to be deluxe, it was very small no dressing table, no room to sit and do my makeup, no room to dress. , no space to move around the toilet door scrapes the bathoom sink. The food was greasy, undercooked and bland. It was not worth £192!! Staff were friendly.

Dirty room, especially the toilet. No restaurant available. Had to eat in a dirty bar. Table reservations messed up for myself and 2 other guests. Very poor quality steak meal at a silly price. To top it all breakfast was served with uncooked poached eggs. In all very disappointing for a short stay in a lovely coastal town.
