Perfect for what we wanted, although there were a lot of steps up to our room on the top floor! Large clean room with comfortable beds. The window would have benefited from a good clean though. Lovely staff, decent breakfast and great sunny beer garden which was handy.

We really enjoy staying at White Lion the rooms are spacious and clean and beds comfortable. Good car park to rear and outdoor seating area to the rear also. Bar is pleasant for drinks. We have stayed here several times already and we’d definitely stay here again This time the breakfast was disappointing - no longer as good a selection of continental and it was chaotic with people queueing to self serve area. But, as it is optional we just went somewhere else on second day.

Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. Bar staff friendly and real ale, (one), was good. Bar food was typical middle of the road pub grub, not good nor bad, but... meh! Hotel staff were good and welcoming. All in all, not bad for the money and would stay again.
