Very enjoyable

It was in a good location and had free parking. The parking was free. Very close to the beach and right in the town. The breakfast was freshly cooked which was very good.

The only thing we could find fault was having a heavy weight duvet in the heat. I asked the next day for a flat sheet instead and it was sorted

Already booked for next year. Great place.

Beautiful place to stay with a beach view from the windows. Beach is a minutes walk away. The food in the restaurant was amazing and we ate there every night. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Everything I want in a hotel; with charm to spare

The Royal Lion is everything I want in a hotel. We were greeted by name a the door, offered seating for meals and shown to our room. Food for both breakfast and dinner was excellent. The service friendly and efficient. Every corner of The Royal Lion is comfortable and classy. It absolutely exudes old school charm in every way. A perfect choice for your stay in lovely Lyme Regis.

Room well presented and comfortable. General ambiance pleasant. Service poor and food could be bette

Service o.k. Asked for scrambled eggs on toast. Hotelwere aware of my allergy to sourdough bread, and this was reaffirmed when requesting breakfast. I was served scrambled egg and a slice of bread whichever presented onsameplatr separately. I pointed out that it was not toast! A very small portion of scrambled egg. I was then given 2 slices of toasted brown bread.

The steak I requested for dinner, very nice presentation but the steak had sinew running down the centre, which I could not cut through, so was unable to eat approximately half of the steak.

Very enjoyable apart from the pool which was dissapointing

Breakfast great and staff and very good second stay and will return

Very dissapointed that the pool AND jaquzi were both not in use fro the whole weekend as you are the only major hotel with pool it was a major point for our booking to use pool 2 or 3 times

Weekend birthday break.

Location is excellent & worth the premium for that, excellent breakfast, staff were very helpful & friendly, huge place but managed to keep it clean & tidy.

Room fairly small but adequate I guess, terrible TV reception so pretty much unwatchable & for some reason unknown our room was a sweltering oven even with the heating off & window open so sleeping was very uncomfortable.

Enjoyed the stay and food in bar was lovely, but probably wouldn't stay again

Breakfast was average. Didn't like the sourdough would have preferred toast. In hindsight would miss the breakfast Room was clean and bed was comfy. It was a quiet location even though it's the Main Street

Only an hour in the pool - we were rushed by staff to dress and come out for the next person. Didn't understand why it was booked individually when we're not in lockdown anymore. It would work better if there was a 15 min gap between bookings to allow us to dress

Wonderful stay in a friendly comfortable hotel

Lovely old building with CARPETS !! Well spaced tables at breakfast . I’d prefer not to have had evening meal in the pub … Chandalier room infinitely preferable . Pool booking facility is special . Please put a mini fridge in the room

Very enjoyable. My husband was unable to come due to illness, but I hope to return with him soon.

Location exceptional. Parking very convenient. My room was very accessible as no stairs,, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I loved the bathroom toiletries. The choice at breakfast was fine...but

I wasn't aware in advance that I'd have to pay for the parking overnight. The cooked part of the breakfast was a little disappointing

Overpriced and short changed on facilities.

Location

Traveller down over 3 hours after completing a gruelling half Ironman triathlon with the intention of total relaxation. Only to be told the sauna and jacuzzi were both out of order - the main reason we booked this hotel. Then after night one the cleaner somehow managed to break the toilet in our room and we was offered a key to another room to use toilet, only for us to have to be dissatisfied with this that we were offered a room change. However it was a bit of an inconvenience to move everything when we were only there for 2 nights and our intention to totally relax.

Good but overpriced

The staff were good and friendly and the breakfast was good. The rooms were kept very clean. The evening meals were excellently prepared and served.

For the price being paid at least a bottle of fresh tap water and clean glasses should be provided as standard in the room for each day and not just on the first day of the stay. In the bar they hadn't heard of 'Lyme Regis Gin' which is famous and being sold in a shop right opposite the hotel. A golden missed opportunity to sell, promote and support local products, and make money.

A great part of a lovely stay thanks.

Breakfast was excellent thanks, lots of choice and very fresh, lovely surroundings. And I loved the swimming pool, a great asset! On site parking a real bonus too

The only disadvantage which I imagine is difficult to resolve due to the age of the lovely building is that the room was quite noisy because of people upstairs, movement around, doors etc. In future I'd request an upstairs room if that was possible.

fairly comfortable unfortunately our room had an uneven floor so the bed wasn’t even while we slept

location

we paid £10 per night extra for the parking as we book it through booking. com . Unhappy about paying parking £10 p n as we weren’t told in our booking confirmation in the past we’ve never had to pay for parking before we’ve been going 3 yrs so please can you let others know if this is an extra cost. in future I’ll book direct .

Superb

The location of the hotel is unbeatable. This together with the car park were my priorities when choosing this place. We loved the view from the room, big windows, little balcony and high ceiling, lovely! The staff was very friendly. In case I visit Lyme again I will definitely consider staying here again.

The shower water pressure was weak so we had to use the bathtub which was fine but it is still the less environment- friendly option. The waiting time for the cooked breakfast could be a bit shorter.
