A lovely 1 night stay at The Lion. Just me and my dog - they are very welcoming to dogs. Room was clean and warm with good quality toiletries and tea/coffee. Bed was very comfortable. I had dinner in the evening which was excellent. The dining area had a friendly, lively atmosphre and the pub in general is a perfect old-style place with good beers on tap but also a gastro-pub style menu and wine list. Breakfast in the morning was also just as you would want it - I had the full English which set me up very well for the day. Took a walk up to Belas Knap Long Barrow and then Cleeve Hill - both highly recommended if you want to tire your dog out and get some magnificent views yourself! I only saw the town/village when everything was closed but it looked like it would be well worth a stroll round - I would have liked to stay to browse the second hand bookshop (I tihnk it's called Books & Ink) but sadly did not have time. Really good stay - I hope to return.

The hotel has a warm friendly atmosphere however there were issues with room 9, the heating wasn’t working and the electric sockets kept tripping out and eventually we had to move rooms late at night. There was no coffee in the second room and we had to raid room 9 for some coffee, good job we still had the key! We were attending a family funeral in the morning and specifically asked what time breakfast was. We were told 8.00 am and as we were due to leave for the funeral at 9 this seemed okay. However at 8 in the morning were told breakfast was not until 9. We ordered something simple. Scrambled egg and bacon butty as we did not want impose on the helpful staff that were in early. The staff did make every effort to help but it took the shine off the stay. Not helpful when information given the night before was not accurate.

Noisy room and staff was not welcoming. Pushed us to get breakfast which was extra and got impolite when we declined. We could hear other guests through the walls.
