Great one night stay after attending a wedding in the area. Well appointed room, in adjoining stable block, with bottled water, comfy bed and great shower. Lovely breakfast. We were also given a courtesy call on the day to check we were still coming as we were at the wedding. Highly recommend.

Always lovely to stay here, the most amazingly friendly country pub, with wonderful food. Stay for business few times a year cant fault it. they even go the extra mile by coming in early so we can have breakfast earlier than normal due to 8am meetings. Stay wonderful, and definitely give this place a try (even if its just for food and the ambiance).

Very nice place to stay, was here for business but definitely a nice destination for a getaway, I would return with my wife. Unexpectedly the double room was effectively a mini suite, with its own lounge, was impressed to have a good size shower and bath in the bathroom. Everything was clean, the staff were friendly and the food was very tasty!

We had a very nice one night break at The White Lion. Our room was comfy, decorated very nicely and good size bathroom. Breakfast was very tasty and all in all we had a lovely time. We ate in the restaurant too and the food was absolutely delicious. All appeared to be freshly prepared on site and was of a very high quality. Staff are very friendly too. There's some lovely walks around and about, especially down the old tramline nearby.

Very friendly locals from as soon as we drove up the side road. Highly recommend for room and food, 10/10 Room was great with bathroom and sitting room on ground floor, bathroom very spacious eith bath and very powerful seperate shower cubicle. With large double bed upstairs. Can’t fault staff at hotel at all, from checking in, to service at bar and restaurant . Very friendly and accommodating. Dinner was lovely, chicken Kiev was huge and lovely and the steak and ale pie was probably the best pie I have ever had full of juicy and well cooked meat. Prices in restaurant very reasonable. Bar prices also good and a wide selection of lager, ales and cider. Thanks to everyone at the white lion, we will return. Shout out also to the lay preacher who stopped for a chat whilst going to the church to lock up, what a lovely man.

I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that the room was 2 floors - lounge and bath/shower downstairs and bedroom upstairs. The bathroom was very spacious with plenty of toals, soap, shampoo, conditioner etc. Bonus point for having an iron and ironing board in the room. Everything was wonderfully clean. The free wifi was plenty fast enough for me to get some work done with, handy it was there as i had no mobile internet signal (phone signal was good enough to make calls on though) The pub itself was lovely. Staff were friendly and the beer went down a treat. Considering the breakfast was a fairly cheap add-on i was expecting continental but not only did i get offered cereals etc i also had a really nice full english. All in all a great stay, i will definitely be staying here again for my next visit down that way!
