Enjoyable stay at the Golden Lion- Rating 4/5

Had a lovely couple of nights staying at the Golden Lion. Staff were friendly and welcoming.The room was a good size, clean and warm. Only minor problem in our room was that due to the sloping ceiling in our room, it was difficult for my (tall) husband to use the bath.The breakfast was good - nice choice of fruit juice/tea/coffee with cereals, yogurt, toast and or full English breakfast.I forgot my hairdryer but was able to borrow one from reception.We also had an evening meal on our second night - again the food was very good.

Great Staff - Rating 4/5

After a long day of traveling, getting cold and wet by a winter storm at an local event we turned up at a nice open fire and friendly helpful staff(Amy). Due to booking.com getting the room information wrong, Amy had to run around and get a room ready for for 3 Adults and 2 children (1 and 3yrs)which she did no problem. Rooms where clean and tidy, with comfortable mattresses and nice bedding. Amy even got us a heater blower to warm up the room and help to dry our cloths. The lady who served and cooked a fine breakfast in the morning was also helpful and chatty, really nice staff.Down side, the lift was out of order which made abit of a hike to the top floor with the baggage that comes with 2 young children and a day out?Also the evening meal we had was not great and was average to poor.But great pub,with great staff with a warm welcome and nice beer.Than you.

Thank you for your review. Firstly we don’t advertise anywhere we have a lift. Secondly you had 5 people in a room that clearly states it sleep 3

Excellent - Rating 5/5

The staff were great from the minute I arrived until I left. They went out of their way to help me secure my bike and made me feel most welcome. I didn’t have an evening meal but what I saw looked good. The breakfast was fantastic and the service was excellent. I’d definitely stay again.
