Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The building is very old with a lot of history. The rooms are clean and comfortable but as it’s a very old building the bedroom floors was very squeaky but this was the only negative I have about my stay here.

This is an olde worlde hotel in a brilliant position in the centre of lovely Lyme Regis. The room was large, the staff were lovely and the breakfast for both choice and quality was simply excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you, thank you.

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.

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.

This is a quirky property due to its age but the accommodation was excellent. Having parking is such an asset in Lyme Regis too. We had a room with a balcony which was perfect for sitting doing nothing but the hotel had a comfortable lounge too. Breakfast felt rather grand in the panelled room but we had easy access from our room rather than up the main staircase. Staff were welcoming and friendly. It was only the visit to the kitchen by the Health and Safety Officer that caused the chief problems but that means rules are being observed for all!!

Firstly, the staff are amazing here. The food was also very good with an excellent cooked breakfast along with a great selection of pastries etc. The bar area is very welcoming and the hotel in general is a big favourite of mine whenever I visit Lyme Regis. The view from my room was stunning with the sun rising over the Dorset coast in the morning.I highly recommend.

A great stay. The only downside was some maintenance work directly outside our room at 8am! We came away for a rest and a lazy morning so banging and drilling outside our door was a bit disappointing. I would however go back and recommend the property. A great central location.

What a wonderful stay at the Royal Lion. We only stayed for the one night but we made the most of it by booking a table in the restaurant for dinner which was lovely. Plenty of delicious options to chose from. The hotel has ple tu of parking and conveniently right in the centre of lyme regis so an easy stroll to the beach and around the shops. There is a pool but unfortunately you have to book a time slot and all they had available was during our dinner reservation. If we were able to book in we definitely would have used this. One note to make is that we had a room at the front of the hotel which i love (i love to people watch) but i think there was bin men or a delivery very early in the morning so was very noisy. The hotel 2as clean and the room beautiful. Also want to note how lovely the staff were. Very impressed and would love to stay again.
