Wonderful country pub with rooms

Only overnight, but really lovely stay. Rooms are across the courtyard from the pub. Was quiet when we were there as it was a Sunday, but there had been an event the day before. Lovely areas in the pub itself, we found some wing-backed arm chairs and played one of the Scrabble games they'd provided, while we had some food and drink. Breakfast in the same area the following morning was delicious. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a basket of treats. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would 100% stay again.

One of the best taverns and hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Our room, the outdoor and indoor spaces were beautifully curated. The vibe, the food, the textures/details and the people were second to none. Parking was easy and the town so quaint. Highly recommend the Lion at Malpas.
