The Royal Lion Hotel

Hall & Woodhouse hotel and clearly some inves**ent underway as we stayed in a deluxe balcony refurbished room with a lovely seaside feel and some nice touches including Scottish Fine soap products. Lovely sea views from the small furnished balcony, fluffy towels, Robert’s radio, comfy bed and a hospitality tray which was refreshed each day. Warm welcome on arrival and WOW …. we were shown to our room and even offered help with our luggage. The warmth continued thru out our short stay; all the staff we met were kind, friendly and engaging . We only had breakfast but that was taken in a lovely large dining room and a mixture of continental and cooked to order hot breakfasts . Not a huge choice but all tasty and well presented. Indoor pool not the warmest and sauna and jacuzzi out of order but with the hottest ☀️ weekend of the year so far, we headed for the beach.🏖️ Have known this hotel for over 40 years and seen many changes but Hall & Woodhouse have a plan and it’s a good one. Would recommend you try it and what a bonus to be able to park your car in the centre of town . Many thanks all and esp Sharon for managing our booking . We will be back and certainly considering some of your other hotels too.

Very nice pub restaurant with excellent clean rooms close to the beach. Good food too for both breakfast and dinner. Peaceful stay in a lovely old building with a fresh modern extension at the back. Very allergy aware! We had dinner in the bar on two evenings as it was good.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Lion. Right in the middle of Lyme Regis, plenty of parking. Nice and Clean. Staff were nice.

We live in Lyme Regis and consider the Royal Lion our local. We’ve been coming here for years. But since Hall and Woodhouse took over the food has gone from honest pub grub to gloopy ‘ kit-form’ food. Last night we had a terrible meal. The best I can say is wonderful old building, shame about the food! Pull your sock up Hall and Woodhouse!

Visit Lyme Regis a lot and often stay at the Royal lion , lovely old building with lots of character, comfy beds excellent breakfasts and very attentive and polite staff a great team will definitely be back again soon thank you Hall and Woodhouse.

Started well ... nice room looking out onto bay ... Woken at 7am by builders who were starting refurb of the rooms. Hotel forgot we were booked in so we woke up to drilling and banging. Workmen were wearing ear defenders ... Breakfast awful - tiny portions, avocado stale and toast stone cold. Won't be coming back - real shame as beautiful location. I would like to add the only other positive was the lovely temporary Manager - if it wasn't for her, this complaint would have been escalated further.

Visited today to spend time with family. Lyme being in the middle as a meeting place for us. Choose the royal lion, none of us had been before. We had a lovely lunch! Sorry we couldn't eat it all!! Food was well made and the staff were welcoming and professional. We will definitely return. Many thanks.

Came here for a couple of beers and then returned 2 hours later for 2 burgers and the same round of 2 beers. Disappointed that we were over-charged the second time by £4. Just couldn’t face addressing this at the time, I guess that’s what they bank on.

Cold, dead, no festive atmosphere Booked a festive meal with friends. Very disappointing. Would not recommend or go again. Staff were nice Food average, had the festive menu after a rude phone call from staff and managers to cancel this the day before our meal after booking in October. No atmosphere, no music, no crackers not festive.
