The Royal Lion Hotel

About

Nestled on the high street of Lyme Regis, The Royal Lion Hotel blends the charm of a historic 17th‑century coaching inn with the relaxed ambiance of a modern seaside pub. Guests can unwind in one of 30 individually styled en‑suite rooms, indulge in hearty meals that showcase local fish and fowl, or simply enjoy the warm, family‑friendly atmosphere by the bar. The hotel’s prime location places you a stone's throw from the famous Lyme Regis Cobb, Marine Parade and the golden Jurassic coastline, making it an ideal base for day‑time exploration and evening strolls along the coast. From the first gleam of morning light on the cobbled streets to the sunset glow over the water, visitors are treated to a blend of history, hospitality and natural beauty. The property offers a refreshing pool and jacuzzi, foot‑friendly EV charging points, and a welcoming space for pets, ensuring comfort for all travel styles. Whether you arrive for a cozy weekend break, a family holiday, or a local dinner, the Royal Lion delivers a memorable coastal retreat. Beyond its comforting rooms and spirited dining, the hotel serves as a gateway to the region’s iconic sights—Lyme Regis Museum, Town Mill, Marine Aquarium, and the fossil‑rich beaches that inspired literary classics. Each visit to The Royal Lion is a chance to step into Dorset’s living history while enjoying contemporary comforts in an unspoiled setting.
