Amazing helpful staff, good breakfasts, comfy beds and charming old pub. The icing on the cake is the location- just 2 minutes walk to the beach and other restaurants- plus free parking, which is a rarity in Lyme Regis.
We loved the location, everything a stones throw away.
Our room was lovely , had everything we required.
Breakfast was always very nice , and a good choice of fruit yogurt and cereals.
Staff friendly, and the bonus of free parking definitely influenced our decision to stay at this hotel.
No negatives we had a lovely time , and will definitely be back..
We absolutely loved our stay at the Royal Lion. Perfect location, lovely room and great service. Breakfast was a nice experience with plenty of choice. Sharon on reception was really helpful and made check-in and out an easy, seamless experience.
A really enjoyable stay, beautiful comfortable room, great bathroom & toiletries, breakfast was lovely & dinner in the restaurant was very good but the best thing about our whole stay was the staff, they were all so friendly & welcoming & went above and beyond to make out stay very memorable. The hotel is in a brilliant position 2 mins from the beach & shops all around, they were on site parking was a godsend as parking is in short supply in Lyme, I would definitely stay here again, if I did have a complaint the WiFi was very hit & miss & we could only get bbc on the tv but we were out most evenings so didn’t matter too much.
Everyone was very pleasant and helpful, thank you! There is no air conditioning so the upper rooms got very hot - just be aware of you are sensitive to heat because otherwise this is a fantastic place to stay!
Clean and tidy,good parking,staff helpful,breakfast good only down sides
Room outside noise windows not sealing properly (lucky weather good),and swimming pool not in use.so paying for
Something the could not be used.

Very convenient to have a parking space in Lyme.
Excellent breakfast.
Our family room was perfect for us - my daughter loved the bunk beds and having the outdoor area was lovely and so handy for our dog. The breakfast was lovely, the staff were very friendly and we could even charge our electric car. The location was perfect too. There was nothing I would change about our stay!
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!
Iconic seaside inn steeped in history and in a listed building minutes walk from the sea. Yea it’s a bit old, but it’s go character . Staff were excellent . third visit and will be back

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.
