We were shocked to see no bar or restaurant open at this hotel. Very limited staff. Room curtains ripped. Apparently they have no drinks licence holder at present. Would like to of been made aware of this before booking.

We chose this hotel because of it's location and history. The Lion certainly did not disappoint us! Wonderfully old and worn, thoroughly as we expected, loved it! Room was clean, warm and the beds extremely comfortable. Breakfast the following morning was plentiful and cooked beautifully. Staff very polite and helpful. If I needed to stay over again in the stunning town, I would definitely book again.

room and reception staff were lovely but unfortunately when we went for breakfast there was no staff around to ask for a cooked breakfast, to then be told after we had been sat for upwards of half an hour that the kitchen was closed and they are no longer serving hot food. we were down with plenty of time but due to no staff around it left a bit of a sour taste about the experience. we would visit again and hopefully this doesn't happen to others

It’s a 1600 inn so floors creak and are uneven. It looks a bit tired but is being updated. The staff more than make up for that. They a friendly and very helpful. Though the restaurant was shut but breakfast was excellent. Well worth a stay.

Excellent hotel in central location
Very nice hotel, full of character. My single room was warm, comfortable, and quiet. I was only staying for one night, and I wanted to park my car until late in evening. The hotel allowed me to use their car park at no extra charge, even though check-out was by 11:00, which was a nice gesture. Breakfast was delicious, and was served promptly.

great value
ideally situated in the center of town, plenty of restaurants, pubs, good shopping. car parking on site ,£5 per night, great value. Rooms were spacious, warm and very comfortable, decor typical of the age of the property. excellent value for money with a cooked English breakfast included. Web site needs updating, no bar, no restaurant but plenty of choice in the area

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Loved the vintage character of the building parking facility was excellent. Room was spacious and clean. My only negative was the sound of running water all night from behind a boxed in pipe. Being in the top floor in room 323 I Believe there is a storage tank in the attic or similar...Try and avoid this room, as its also hard work on the legs, with 3 flights of stairs. Apart from these few things i loved the place along with my Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier.

Room for improvement
A comfortable bed and a spacious room but the bathroom needed a few fixes- the toilet handle was loose and the shower head was loose. The tv was tiny and at the furthest corner of the room from the bed. Only one chair at the table instead of two and the WiFi was rather slow.
