Having been staying locally The Lion Head was one of the restaurant options in the local area. We loved the decor, warmth and how welcoming the restaurant was. Out barman was so polite and welcoming that we made a point to make sure we go on and give this review! They had a good selection on the menu of wholesome, hearty but modern dishes which we loved. We eat in a lot of restaurants and were pleasantly surprised by this little gem in such a rural location. Would highly recommend and visit again if in the area. Be sure to visit!

After breaking down and arriving 7 hours later than expected, we were reassured by phone calls to let us know our room would be waiting and if it was after hours they would leave our room key in a safe place. Fantastic customer service. Fabulous 2 night stay, came to visit family and had a beautiful clean room and the comfiest bed. Breakfast was sooooo good. Full Welsh/ English Breakfast with gorgeous produce, no doubt locally sourced and eggs Benedict the second morning , ham and eggs are delicious and the yolks bright orange. Absolutely loved our time here and it made a family reunion weekend not just good but epic. We will definitely be booking for all future visits to Llandsantffraid. Thank you everyone. Great job. Xx

Very unwelcoming male toilets leaking across corridor into bar area. Bar area dirty . floor in bar sticky under foot. lager flat , ale cloudy and undrinkable we left our drinks and went elsewhere as bartender very unwelcoming and refused to serve us a coke for our son and daughter?? Pallet wood on walls in bar seems a bit low for a hotel building bar. Everything inside is horrific and dingy. For a Saturday night the place was dead. Not surprised with welcome we had.

Paid £8 for a ham sandwich and fries. Menu claimed fresh bread from Niche Pattesserie. What arrived was a sandwich with cheap white bread which was dry at the edges ham which definitely from a packet of off cuts and a few nachos. No fries ! Very disappointed

Sunday lunch booked for three people and we were not disappointed - we called in for a drink a couple of weeks ago and saw food being ordered which was presented well and smelled gorgeous . 3 courses for £20.00 excellent value for money served by a very polite young man and drinks recommended by a really friendly man behind the bar - all in all we will definately be returning - thank you

A last minute booking for a Saturday night meal and wasn't disappointed. Food was well presented and delicious, and we did not have to wait long after ordering. Staff were very polite, professional and friendly. Will definitely be back! Highly recommended.
