    The room had a nice old charm, but the musty smell was off-putting.

    Charming Atmosphere But Room Needs Attention

    I really appreciated the freshly decorated bar/lounge area and the inviting atmosphere right when I stepped in. My room, although spacious and featuring a four-poster bed, had some maintenance issues like a leaking bath, which dampened my experience a bit. The dining was decent, but service felt a little slow during peak times. I hope they can improve on the upkeep of the rooms.

    charming bar area
    weak shower pressure

    The historical charm of The Lion Hotel is truly captivating, especially the beautifully decorated bar area that adds warmth to the atmosphere.

    Unfortunately, the shower pressure was rather weak, making it difficult to find a comfortable water temperature during my stay.

    delightful scones
    quirky decor
    inviting bath
    shabby building
    musty smell

    Oh, the scones! They were utterly delightful, paired beautifully with a fresh cup of tea. Plus, the lovely room had quirky decor that made my stay feel unique. The bath was just what I needed after a day out exploring!

    I feel guilty at leaving such a poor review but the building is truly awful. Yes, it has old charm, but that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to be shabby or musty. A serious overhaul is needed. those carpets are in dire need of replacement!

    friendly staff
    historical charm
    service issue

    Had a blast with friends! We enjoyed sailing and windsurfing. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The historical charm of the place added to our experience, and we loved mingling with locals in the pub area.

    We encountered a service issue one morning as nobody was around to help us or serve breakfast, which was quite disappointing.

    dining delays

    The lack of organized dining operations leads to frustrating delays during peak times!!! Observe the noise from the bar area that may disrupt your sleep!!! Better maintenance of communal areas would also be appreciated!!!

    hearty meals
    charming atmosphere
    great family experience
    missing room phone

    We had a lovely family gathering with 20 members at this charming place. Meals were hearty and flavorful, especially the homemade pizzas! We enjoyed a day out sailing at nearby Grafham Water, making great memories together.

    My wife says that the lack of a phone in the room was a hassle.

    historic feel
    musty smell
    cleanliness issue

    The Deluxe Double Room was charming, with a four-poster bed that felt super romantic. The large bath was a real treat too. It had a nice historic feel, which added to the experience. there was a bit of mustiness in the room, which was a turn-off. the room was clean and comfy enough for a night stay.

    mixed feelings about my stay

    The Deluxe Double Room had a lovely historic feel, providing a unique ambiance. I appreciated the charming garden view, which was beautiful to wake up to. The staff, when present, were friendly and accommodating, which added a nice touch to the experience.

    The breakfast situation was poorly handled, as there was no one around to serve it during my stay.
