We have just had four nights at the Lion with a tour company and we had a great time. The staff were very helpful and effiecent and the food was excellent. We were roomed in the annex which is across the car park, which wasn't a problem, but the noise from the floor of the room above was. Whoever was... More

Stayed here for 3 nights , helpful and friendly staff . Food was good and for breakfast there was a good selection to choose from . Only thing that ruined our stay was a couple with 2 children who sat near us in the restaurant playing on their games consoles with the sound on ! Annoying when your trying to... More

Stayed in room 40 on the 3rd and 4th May 2013. I thought the price for a single room over the bank holiday was very fair. Room and its en-suite shower room were comfortable, clean and well equipped. A very good standard throughout. A traditional British Hotel, not a boutique nor trendy place - just good old fashioned comfort and... More

Stayed for 3 nights from 18th April 2012 for a golf trip. Staff were friendly and happy to help. Overall decor, carpets etc. in need of updating. A little bit 70's, apart from the bar area which had undergone refurbishment and was modern. We had a couple of meals in the hotel bar, and they were great and I would... More

Stayed here in March, loved this place, the staff were friendly and welcoming from the offset. The rooms were clean and food was exceptional value for money. The bar was warm and welcoming and we nearly spent a whole day in there as the weather was a bit on the cold side for us Aussies! Breakfast was really good, a... More

We had a great time at the Lion Hotel. The room was quiet and comfortable with free wi-fi though this I think depends where your room is. They say it's only available in the public areas and make no claims for bedrooms! Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of items. We also enjoyed two evening meals there with good... More

From the moment we arrived, for the whole three days we stayed, the service could only be described as out standing. On arrival, Gwenda the Receptionist explained the hotel amenities and locations, and all the details needed when you arrive at a new location. Restaurant service was again, excellant. Food quality was very good and plentiful. During our stay we... More
