Six of us doing the Way of the Roses cycle route stayed a night at the Golden Lion. The rooms were large and comfortable, nice decor, excellent shower and toiletries. We had a delicious evening meal, and were impressed by the breakfast choices. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and accommodated our bikes overnight.

Great for dogs and their human companions. Lots of attention to detail here, like comfy bedrooms with luxury blankets and snacks/beverages. Breakfast excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming. We loved it and our Golden Retriever was spoiled rotten.

Fantastic place to stay in a really lovely town

Really clean and nice place to stay. Great food and a nice friendly atmosphere in the pub. My friend & I were doing the 3 peaks challenge the next morning and the hotel made arrangements for breakfast to be left out early for us so we could have something before we left.
