Great spot.

Really nice spot, great parking that feels secure. Rooms nice and comfortable. Very nice stay I would stay again. Would have been better if the bed settee was not made up as I was a single traveler, rather had as a settee rather than a made up double bed. Great bacon !! Was super tasty. Breakfast was very good.

Enjoyable night at the White Lion

We only spent one night at the White Lion, but had a very enjoyable stay. The room was spacious, clean and well looked after. The bathroom was modern with everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast was very tasty with quite a few choices, we also had dinner, which was just as good. It is in a quite location, which was just what we wanted.

We cannot fault anything during our stay, hospitality was great every member of the team that we came across were friendly, courteous and helpful. Our room was really nice, clean & fresh, bed was comfortable too. Breakfast was good, lots of and freshly cooked. We also ate in the evenings and again a good variety, fresh and good value for money. A shoutout to the chef 👍 Bar staff were amazing too, always checking in to see everything was good and they were really friendly and approachable. We had an amazing stay.

Fantastic! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience all round - we checked in easily with a warm welcome from the staff. Our room was lovely, very clean, comfy bed and great decor. Little extras were provided too - the portable toothbrush & paste, shower cap and shaving kit, which was a lovely addition, especially if you've forgotten one of these. There was a coffee machine with a variety of teas, coffees and hot chocolate. USB socket as well as normal plug socket. Internet access was easy too. A useful folder in the room full of helpful information. The bar and restaurant were really nice too. Lovely decor and a good selection of food and drinks.
