What a location! Magical and idyllic. The hotel offers very comfortable quiet rooms with stunning views, updated modern bathrooms with heated towel bars, and plenty of light, hooks & shelving.The pillows and mattresses were just right, the windows opened and you could hear the water lapping in the quay. In the morning, before breakfast we were entertained by the fishermen... More

We stayed at the Red Lion Hotel in May over a weekend. The location is simply unbeatable, such a subtle and picturesque enviroment. Despite the aged and dark appearance, the quay is something to be desired, once stood upon it. The rooms are spacious enough (as long as you are not looking for some grand city hotel experience), if you... More

This was a great visit for us as a family. We had been told by friends of the unique setting which the town of clovelly occupies. We went last summer to see for ourselves what all the talk was about and we were really surprised at the fantastic location and the beauty of Clovelly. We rambled down the twisty windy... More

Four of us had dinner at the Red Lion. Even though it was raining very heavily, the setting is still beautiful & we spent hours looking out at the harbour & boats. The food was very tasty & great value for money. There was a good selection to chose from. Ours meals included the Cajun Salmon, spicy pork Chinese curry,... More

In the old pub mould, with upmarket 'extension' in the shape of the Sail Loft. Right on the pebble beach with agreeable noises off. Bring your B. Sc. in bathrooms to figure out how the mod fittings all function. Dining room stuff also well done. Clovelly is not for folk with limited mobility.

Just spent a very pleasant stay at the Red Lion. Our family room overlooked the harbour and was perfectly equipped for our stay. We twice sampled both the Bar food and Restaurant. Food was excellent. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Restaurant was especially good and Chef created puddings especially to the childrens' liking. Bar food was freshly prepared and equally... More

A last minute decision to take my mum to see Clovelly (on the recommendation of a friend - phoned up at 10pm on a Friday night to book rooms for the Saturday. The drive down to the hotel parking was....er....quite steep and narrow (for those of us more used to driving on motorways), but was worth it. A rather old... More

spent a single night at Clovelly recently, and would be back in a flash if I could. The hotel is the only hotel you can drive directly to and park outside in Clovelly, which is one of the cutest towns in England. Our daughter surprised us with a visit, so suddenly we had three for a night, not the double... More
