Family feel to this charming old hotel. Built in 1600s. Short walk to the beach. Surrounded by shops and pubs/ restaurants.Large free carpark. Excellent food and lovely staff. We had a large en-suite bedroom which was a little dated but very comfortable bed and very clean. Tea, coffee and biscuits filled up each day. Hidden gem was a swimming pool and jacuzzi which you could hire for an hour just for us. Really enjoyed our 3night stay and would love to go back.

Room was quite basic, but we had a very comfortable stay. Only real issue was that shower was not very good, very little power and a small shower head.

The room we were allocated was very small for us with a dog (classed as a comfy room). This was the room the hotel imformed us was what Expedia told them we had booked.???? Other than that the hotel is fantastic. Close to the shops,beach,restaurants and parking on site (free) The swimming pool was great ,the bar was warm and friendly, the staff warm,friendly and helpful . Would definitely go back to this hotel but would book a large room because of our dog..

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.

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
