I really liked the Lamb and Lion. I chose it for our weekend break, largely based on location - it really is very central, within a couple of minutes walk from the Minster. It also fitted the bill of offering something with a little more character - the building is (by the looks of it) Georgian, and I loved all... More

We stopped in here after a recommendation by a local, it was well worth it, the food was scrumptious. We had two toddlers with us, they were great with them, even had a high chair. Highly recommended, it was the best food we had travelling around the country. thank you

Stayed here in the superior suite for our 1 year Wedding anniversary. Had a lovely time, breakfast was lovely and the staff seemed very nice. The beer garden looks great, bet it'd be lovely in Summer!

Beautiful historic building with a style sympathetic to the era. We were in room 9 at the very top! Apart from all the stairs the upside was being quiet and overlooking the garden bar walls and minster- Gorgeous! VERY comfy bed we both had excellent sleeps both nights which is unusual in hotels for us. Very friendly and helpful chap... More
