Really excellent hotel and well-located in the middle of Lyme Regis. Unfortunately because of the heat the pool wasn't open, but that didn't matter because the sea was clean and great to swim in. The breakfasts were excellent, and staff very friendly. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at The Royal Lion Hotel in Lyme Regis. The location was ideal; the parking was a bonus; the room was large and comfy; and the staff was very friendly and accommodating from booking to check-in and check-out. The hotel is packed with history and added to a wonderful first visit to the popular area.

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.
