The Lion Hotel

The Lion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had problems with our dog. It demanded my wife sleep in the car with the dog. The staff were excellent and genuinely concerned. They provided food and a hot drink later in the evening for her without prompting. The restaurant food was one of the most tasty meals I have had in years. Excellent room and restaurant service."

"The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend stay. It’s in a great location for exploring the town and the area and we would book again. We couldn’t find any street parking near the cottage, but there is a pay and display car park a few minutes walk away. The WiFi did keep dropping out, but it didn’t really cause us a problem. Overall good experience. "
