You are here: Accommodation > Royal Lion Hotel
Lyme Regis is a picturesque town on the West Dorset border, part of the Jurassic Coast, World Heritage site. Steeped in history, it is renowned for its fascinating past, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, the unique fossils found in the cliffs and beaches, and for being the central location of the novel and the 1981 film, ' The French Lieutenant's Woman'.
Situated less than 100 metres from the sea, The Royal Lion Hotel is a perfect base from which to explore the local area.
Built in 1601 as a coaching inn, the hotel has been extensively refurbished, yet still retains much of its history and unique charm. Oak beams, wood panelling and an open fire help to create a warm, welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
Privately owned and managed, The Royal Lion Hotel has gained an enviable reputation for its friendly service, first class cuisine and impressive leisure facilities, including a 45ft heated indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and games room.
There is a private car park and free wi-fi is available in the various lounges throughout the hotel.

For less formal dining occasions, we also have the traditional pub atmosphere of The Inn, with open log fires to warm you during those chilly winter days, offering a selection of gastropub delights, as well as a great place to meet for morning coffee, a chilled glass of wine or to grab lunch before exploring the town.
