Had a lovely short stay here. Rooms spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and good breakfast. Brilliant location for walking to the front, shops, bars and restaurants.
We had a wonderful stay at the Royal Lion, our room was spacious with all amenities and a lovely view of Broad st. All the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food was amazing too with a great menu! Well done everyone!

Clean room as always, and very attentive and caring staff.
We love Lyme Regis and The Royal Lion Hotel. It is historic and charming.The rooms are large and comfortable.It has a new indoor pool. The food is great. It is in the high street so very close to shops, restaurants, bars,and cafes, and of course the sea and the quaint Cobb.
Room was clean, the view was amazing. Breakfast was so good! A wonderful relaxing stay. The hotel has a wonderful old fashioned charm. The biscuits were delicious!

Great location and free parking too… Very good breakfast and friendly staff. Our room was excellent and had a balcony overlooking the sea…. Room 31 …. The bonus was a swimming pool/ Jacuzzi and steam room on site all to ourselves which is free of charge … You simply book a slot at reception … Would recommend..
Friendly welcome, we arrived early, safely left car and went for a wander around Lyme Regis. Our room was clean and tidy with a lovely bathroom. Breakfast - we have had better - service was a little slow (only 2 staff and 1 was providing room service) and food was average at best. Swimming pool & jacuzzi were great - you effectively booked for your private pool.

Clean, warm comfy room. Friendly staff and excellent breakfast with plenty of choice.
We needed a stress-free break and we got one. All of the staff were superb, the room was spacious and very comfortable, and the food excellent. The only real negative was that Expedia charged us nearly £40 more than the hotel's going rate.

Great staff, tidy rooms and brilliant service. Had building work on going so didn’t get to see the place at its finest. Will definitely be back again though.
