The Red Lion Hotel is an 18th Century 4-star Inn that stands on the quay alongside Clovelly’s ancient harbour in North Devon. Each of its 17 beautifully decorated rooms boast a sea view.
To wake up to the sights and sounds of Clovelly’s ancient fishing harbour and the sounds of the sea at the Red Lion Hotel is a unique and unforgettable experience.
The Red Lion
Clovelly Court Gardens are a must see whilst visiting the famous village. Plants thrive in this sheltered sunny corner of North Devon, which has the added benefit of the warmth the Gulf Stream brings.
You’ll find neat, carefully tended gardens and beautifully restored Victorian greenhouses within its old walls. The incredible variety of fruits & vegetables grown here supply the Red Lion Hotel. You can even take some home with you!
Clovelly Court Gardens
Check out our shops, galleries and museums. Try your hand at our arts & crafts workshops, charter a boat for a fishing trip or take a stroll along the beautiful cliffs, beaches and through the village. The choice is yours in Clovelly!
Things To Do
Originally the estate was owned by William the Conqueror, King of England, gifted to his wife and then had many royal associations until 1242 when first acquired by the Giffard family. Until the middle of the 19th century Clovelly was unknown to the outside world. It was partly as a result of Charles Kingsley’s ‘Westward Ho!’, set in and around the village, that visitors began to come.
History of Clovelly
Vivien Foster, Co-Founder and President of the Merchant Navy Association, was awarded an OBE by The Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace for her services to the Association. It was set up in 1989 to raise awareness of the commitment and sacrifice of merchant seafarers during war and conflict.
Many congratulations – a proud day for Clovelly!

GOOD NEWS!! We’ve received the following from the charity which rescued the poorly seal pup recently found in Clovelly Harbour:
“The seal went to Penbode Vets for an overnight stay and now is in our holding unit in Cornwall waiting for a space in a rehab centre to become available.
The seal is doing better and is making good progress. ” The British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
