Visit to friends

The pub with rooms was wonderful the place was immaculate and the staff and atmosphere excellent. The room was large well appointed with water and coffee/tea crisps etc. The bed was so comfy but could have been bigger. The room was also immaculate although it had a smell of fresh paint. We booked a meal the first night the steak was missing some items and was tough but my wife's chickwn was excellent as was starters and pud. Lovely location lovely pub and staff highly recommend.

Great family stay

I recently stayed at The Lion for two nights with my husband and toddler. We booked The Bakery Suite (Quadruple on Hotels.com) which had a seperate living area which was ideal for us. Check in was swift and we found all the staff throughout our stay to be friendly and accommodating. We ate dinner in the restaurant the first night and opted for the roast beef. I always find roast dinners disappointing if the are not home cooked but this was honestly the tastiest roast I have ever had at a restaurant. We did feel that breakfast was a bit of a disappointment. The cooked breakfast was a little on the small side and wasn't anything special, but not bad either. Overall I highly recommend The Lion and would hesitate to return.
