The Royal Lion Hotel

The Royal Lion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent position right on the high street, newly refurbished room looking over the Main Street in Lyme. Great shower and ensuite, excellent white bed linen. Excellent breakfast with lovely friendly serving staff, and very good coffee. I have stayed before and often there is no one manning the bar and you have to delay to be served. For a pub hotel this is a great stay. Shame last time I stayed the swimming pool was out of action with a broken lock and again this time it was out of action."

"Clean and comfertable. Food, wine and beer good. Good location. Many well behaved dogs. Only issue, booked a table in resteraunt, didn't expect dogs to be in there-but ok. But to see a cat led flat out on top of dining table, with no one attempting to move it, until diners arrived to unwiped table(cat bed)?Relocated for meal to bar area."

"A little dated and basic, but was very pleasantly surprised! Enjoyed my spontaneous night here with the dog, staff very kind and helpful. Big cups in the room, with nice biscuits and Yorkshire tea! Very affordable too for the night, would very happily return - given at a services, I didn’t hear the motorway at all! I stayed for convenience, not a ‘need’ and personally for £37 a night, I’d happily go back again!"
