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.

would recommend

really pleased, very comfortable and staff were great. Food was very nice (especially the breakfast). Only slight issue is the room was quite cold but did eventually warm up with the air con unit. There was a note saying new windows are being put in though and it was -2 outside

Thé room was excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly. However the organisation in the kitchen was poor with very long waits although the food when it arrived was very good. I felt sorry for the excellent front of house staff who were let down by the kitchen

The room was lovely and clean the noise was bad. Family room right next to road windows old no soundproofing boy racers up and down road immediately outside room. Stair carpet needs. Good clean not good first impression. Didn’t know we had booked Expedia 24 hours before luckily had room clean and ready and available. Breakfast delicious had no brown sauce and only one mushroom would be nice to have another, other than that best breakfast ever cooked to perfection. Would stay again if they soundproof windows?

A lovely room with an excellent en-suite bathroom. Fabulous walk in shower with super large white fluffy towels & Nice toiletries. A kettle and coffee machine in the room with well stocked choice of tea, coffee, hot choc plus biscuits. The bed was very comfortable but for me unfortunately I found the pillows too lumpy. Your not able to open the windows but there is air-con that’s of a good standard along with the option of using an ordinary electric fan. In the morning breakfast is inc as part of the nightly tariff. There was a very good choice on the menu and all was cooked well. Delicious start to the day. Again as a preference to myself (being someone who eats fresh fruit every morning) it would have been nice to have some fresh fruit on offer other than just a fruit juice, this would have made my breakfast perfect. We also ate in the restaurant each evening, again the food and staff all great. So Would I recommend the White Lion to others for a stay, definitely yes. My first visit to the Isle of Wight, people so friendly, I’ll be back.
