The staff and owners were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I went with my elderly mother and we found the hotel to be clean and well looked after. I would definitely recommend coming for a stay, the cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious!

The owners and their son made us feel so welcome here at the Lion; they let us store our bicycles inside in a secure area and let us know about the curry dinner ( Wednesday night).Breakfast was ok - better to probably order the full English which we didn’t. Unlike other hotels we’ve visited there wasn’t any fruit, yogurt or cereal to accompany the hot component.Great location in a very nice village.The only drawback was the bed - could have been more comfortable.

The room we stayed in had not been cleaned for a considerable time plus was in desperate need of updating. To add to the problems, the wardrobe door was held shut by a chair and the bathroom door did not shut propertly. …
