Arriving in Clovelly walking down a steep path to the quay and its harbour is an experience that takes your breath away, from arrival to our departure we had a relaxing time, and escaped the whirlwind of stresses that we had left. With excellent food (bar and restaurant), a glass of wine (or two) and plenty of walking, at The... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights and thought it was spectacular! The drive down to it was a bit hair raising, but it was so well worth it. Parking at the bottom is tight but you are assured of a space if you are staying at the hotel, we think. We stayed in room 7 and it had... More

How could there be a better location than this, but for the pleasure you do rather pay for it. This is certainly not a village or place to stay if your mobility is less than good ! We found the breakfast a little hectic, but hey we were on holiday so does it really matter?

Brilliant location right on the harbour. Room was pretty good but right above the kitchen fan so noisy at meal times and not the room we agreed on booking (so don't get room 8). Receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was pure comedy - they didn't open the kitchen until 8.30 when everyone was already waiting and then a... More

We stayed here for the weekend before our 2 weeks in Cornwall/Devon. We stayed in room 16 which is in the new Sail loft. The room was amazing, massive bed and so comfy. The bathroom was spacious and there was plenty of room for our clothes and space to move around. We had patio doors opening to a sea view.... More

Clovelly only has 2 places to stay and the Red Lion is distinctly the better. It was built in 14 th century and has a good dining room & fun pub.with a big fireplace It is staffed by local people which is fun. My room and bath were clean and comfortable and I looked out at the harbor and sea.... More

Our 10 days in Devon and Cornwall were great but our best memory will be the stay in Clovelly at The Red Lion. Undoubtedly the hotel has the benefit of a fantastic location and tremendous character but the staff truly spoilt us throughout and went the extra mile or even two.... Nothing was too much trouble from drying our drenched... More

We stayed here for two nights recently with our friends who were over visiting from Chicago. The hotel has the advantage of a quite stunning location, but the interior of the building does not really match up to this - and we were given a very small room! However this was all redeemed by the quite excellent food - we... More

One night stay during week after Easter. Just the most stunning location immediately on the quay side. After the village visitors disappear for the evening the whole place feels as if it belongs to the hotel guests. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Breakfast superb and the restaurant position overlooking the water cannot be bettered.
