Very welcoming staff and owner. Excellent food. When the threat of snow suggested a possibvility of not getting home, the owner immediately offered free accommodation. We got home safely.

Often with small family-run hotels, standards tend to slip when the boss is on holiday. That certainly isn't the case with the White Lion. The quality of service, the friendly yet unobtrusive approach of the staff, the excellent quality of the food were just as normal. We only found out by chance that Jon and Chris Lear, the owners were... More

Seven of us stayed in: attractive four poster room (bath only), a standard double (smaller but fine) and the family room (v good for privacy - two adjoining rooms) and were very comfortable. We received a friendly welcome and found everything to be just great. We also booked a table for a very delicious dinner at the Pepperpot Brasserie. Breakfast... More

I wish every hotel had such a lovely and commited owners! They took a great care of us, made us special breakfasts, staff is friendly, rooms cosy. Restaurant is 10/10. Recommend everyone.

Stayed for one night over Easter in joining family rooms with our two small children in tow. Have to say that it felt pretty expensive for what we got and the breakfast was a little below average for this class of hotel.

It does what it says on the tin - reasonable price, room & bed were fine (nice big flatscreen TV with freeserve) and the bar downstairs was full of character with several locals frequenting. I didn't... More

Our family group of six people ranged in age from eighteen to seventy nine including my mother who has mobility difficulties and uses a walking stick/walker and my son who uses a wheelchair. We chose the hotel because it offered two courtyard cottages, one which offered ideal ground floor double-bedded accommodation for my Mum and the other which had wonderful... More

A delightful maze of a building, marinaded in 500 years of English history, in a charming little town which time seems to have forgotten (and which accepts the motor car as a rude intrusion). And the standard of hospitality at the White Lion also owes much to long forgotten tradition. In an age when "informal" = "sloppy and slapdash" and... More

Don't be put off by the seemingly tatty and tired look of this hotel on entry although it could do with a lick of paint. The bar , which serves excellent beers especially real ales is packed with friendly locals, and is very comfortable. The food is superb, the chef is excellent. Our evening meal was one meals I have... More
