The room was clean and the location is central. There is no breakfast provided since May which was disappointing. The room was tired and old decoration.

The staff were very helpful, the hotel is old, but is clean with spacious rooms. The dripping shower was a bit annoying, but apart from that, we had no complaints. We would use this hotel again, it’s very central, and car park is good.

Nice old hotel in a great location

We had a very nice stay at the Lion. It's a fascinating old building in a great central location. The rooms are basic, but very clean and the bed was comfortable with great pillows. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is a little frayed around the edges, but that adds to the character! The staff were all lovely and very helpful.

The property is ideally located and parking is available. The hotel is a little old and dated, but has a lot of character and history. Ideally placed right in the centre of town. The Staff are the hotel's best asset helpful, friendly and professional with lots of local knowledge. The ensuite room was a good size had everything we needed again note the building is quite old so forgive the uneven floors or creaks for us that's part of the character of the hotel and we liked it. There's lots of local restaurants pubs beer gardens and cocktail bars around and it's a short stroll along the river bank nearby.
