Red Lion Hotel

Absolutely phenomenal stay at the red lion for our anniversary, Rich and the team made us feel so special and they pulled out all the stops for us and made us feel so welcome. Food was exceptional and drinks and service were fantastic. Our room was beautiful with a huge king sized bed and sea views for days. Can’t thank them enough for such a wonderful stay and we will definitely be returning.

Wow, what an unusual place Clovelly is, ive heard so much about it, me and my mate visite. suited me as very quirky. I dont think theres any other place on earth like this. sadly the weather was dreadful, but still explored up the very steep village cobble stones. SO the Red Lion, we were greeted by a very smiley young lady on reception, (didnt get her name) our room was very clean warm and comfortable. Had a lovely evening meal, superb fish and chips in the snug bar by the fire. Very friendly locals, good ales too. Rosie was at the point of our first visit in the bar on arrival, she was very helpful and, knowlegeable about the area and a great bar maid too. A great night sleep was had. Breakfast was fantastic with a vast assortment to choose from. Our full english was served by the lovely Rosie whom here now i cant praise her enough for her positive and attentive attitude. She was a DIAMOND. Rosie if your reading this a BIG THANK YOU, you made our stay all worth the while, and with that we will return and tell others about the Red Lion. This young lady will go far in life, and the staff there should be honoured to have her in their team. may she go far. Thank You Rosie, God Bless.

We had such a wonderful time at the red lion, the staff we're amazing especially Richard the manager, so helpful and knowledgeable, are view from are room was breathtaking and the bedroom faultless. Are evening meal in the restaurant was delicious as was are breakfast.

The Red Lion was exactly what we wanted it to be for a few nights away to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The "superior" room lived up to expectations, over looking the harbour, and with easy chairs to enjoy the view from the comfort of our room, including a fabulous sunrise. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The shower room was perhaps on the small side, for the price of the room. We ate in both the Snug and the main restaurant, with each offering something quite different to the other. Good selection of drinks on tap in the bar. The kitchen was very accomodating with dietary requests, with one of us needing gluten free which they fulfilled without any issues. Yes, the restaurant is pricey, but the food was delicious and well thoughtout, using veg from their own gardens. Breakfasts were excellent, with a great cooked breakfast for vegetarians, certainly not just an after-thought as it is in many places.

Parking very efficient meet and greet person very helpful . You can use the Land Rover to ride up and down free of charge for guests . pleasant room with sea harbour view . Restaurant food well presented and high standard . Breakfast start not till 830am not so good for an early start for walkers . Outside areas need improving. Recycling bins near caused a problem with wasps .

Absolutely perfect! The location is stunning and so peaceful, the room was spotless and spacious with an amazing sea view! The food in the harbour restaurant was delicious! Drink wise they have a great choice of local beers and ciders! The staff were great and so friendly they made us feel so welcome! In fact we enjoyed our stay so much we stayed an extra night! Richard and his team do a wonderful job and it was down to the experience we had that we chose to stay longer! We are looking to return in a couple of months we enjoyed our stay that much!
