Enjoyable night at the White Lion

We only spent one night at the White Lion, but had a very enjoyable stay. The room was spacious, clean and well looked after. The bathroom was modern with everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast was very tasty with quite a few choices, we also had dinner, which was just as good. It is in a quite location, which was just what we wanted.

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.

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

It’s a lovely pub with a nice atmosphere and really good breakfast. The staff were all so nice to us and went the extra mile to help us in different ways, such as making up the sofa bed, and giving advice on walking routes. Our room had a bath as well as shower which was brilliant. It was spacious. The bathroom has a sloping floor which is a bit strange but not a problem.

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

Very comfortable - would stay again

Super friendly staff. Lovely room, very well prepared with all the facilities I'd want in a B&B room. Comfortable bed. The blinds in the room needed a bit of TLC... (they closed - which is the main thing!) Fabulous breakfast. Every choice you could ask for. Even my 14 year-old liked the outside play area.
