Everything good except the room.

Great pub with good food. Great service. Room however was very small and my door would open to all in event of a fire alarm as my room was part of a fire escape.

Shower is very small, though I’m not a small person, the room was spacious and clean. Ideal for a quick stop over. Food in the bar is typical fare but well presented.

Generally pretty good. Ample parking. Food available all day. Locals are friendly. Beer was nice. We had 2 different rooms and one had been refurbished nicely and the other was a bit old. Mostly quiet but during bar hours there was a noise that I can only guess had something to do with extractor fans. But once food service finished it stopped so shouldn't affect sleep. We had an issue with pricing through Expedia, no fault of the hotel, yet they compensated us with breakfast, so grateful for the kindness.

Great little spot for those wishing to do the “Mach Loop”. Great location with plenty of supermarkets nearby. The rooms were all clean and well presented and the pub is very friendly with plenty of food options for breakfast until late.

We arrived after an 80 mile bike ride and were eager to get a shower and a good meal. The team were expecting us and had the key ready; check-in was very welcoming and efficient. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Despite the restaurant being very busy (Saturday 8pm) our meals came without delay and were hot, hearty and very tasty. Wouldnt think twice about staying again next time we're in the area.

Easy to check in and neat and tidy room. There was quite a lot of noise from the bar, however, this closed at a reasonable time, so no issue sleeping.

Nuit étape à The White Lion Hotel

Surprenant à l'arrivée parce qu'on arrive par le pub. C'était l'heure du diner donc salle pleine et bruyante. Mais passé la porte qui permet d'accéder aux chambres, insonorisation totale. Très bien géré, calme complet. La chambre était un peu petite mais nous n'y restions qu'une nuit étape. L'équipe est accueillante et sympathique ; nous avons diné et pris notre petit-déjeuner sur place : très copieux.
