Building very old, could do with updating. The stair carpets are worn, windows need updating and painting. Bathroom in room 107 needs renovating. There was an unpleasant odour in the corridor towards room 107. Breakfast and breakfast staff excellent.

A rather historic building with it's charm and character unfortunately it's looking rather tired in places and could use some serious updating and repairing, based on the cost of the room it was a very reasonable trip and the arrangements for breakfast were very well organised

Had a great 3 night stay here. Hotel is 10 min walk from station and central for shops, bars and restaurants. Staff are lovely - very helpful. I had a quiet and comfortable single room at the back of the hotel - good size for a single and a bath tub is always welcome. Breakfast (included in the price) was great: fresh fruit salad and yogurts, plenty of cereals and pastries and a delicious hot breakfast cooked to order. Would recommend this hotel and hope to stay again.

The hotel is in a great location close to shops, bars and restaurants. It has on site parking which is a great bonus for a town center location. The building is very old and has many period features. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable the furniture was old fashioned and in keeping with the age of the property. The breakfast which was included in the price was very good with plenty of options including fruit and cereal, pastries and toast, full English, tea coffee and juices. I also noted that gluten free options were available. Now the downsides - the circulation spaces are very tired and in desperate need of refurbishment the carpets are worn and there is a musty smell that comes with age. There are a lot of stairs so the property would not be suitable for less mobile or wheelchair guests. The restaurant and bar are currently closed but apparently the owner is working towards reopening them. I would definitely stay again as the price I paid offered good value for money and I don’t expect properties of this age to be perfect.

The Lion Roars Again.

We used to stay at the Lion pre closure for Migrants, so it was good to see they have reopened for business again. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice & comfortable our room was. I hope they keep the pricing affordable not like other places about the town, to me they have all priced themselves out of our budget. So a big well done to The Lion, at these prices you will be a roaring success.

This is a very old and historic hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Although I arrived too early for check in I was able to leave my bag there and they gave me directions and a map of where I wanted to go. The room had recently been decorated, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. As mentioned this is a very old building so the floor boards are creaky and there is no double glazing. There are sash windows. I had a view of the main street which was fantastic, if a little noisy. Bathroom very clean and lovely shower. Apparently the room I stayed in had also been occupied by Charles Dickens. Breakfast was great. I can't eat gluten. They had a choice of gluten free cereals, fruit, and cooked breakfast. Ideal location right on a main street with easy access to everything,

Firstly, the staff were very helpful, really friendly and very accomodating. The threadbare carpet in the halls and landing, the faulty shower, window curtains that didn't close etc not so good. The room was clean but tired. It was a long, long way to our room with endless corridors and stairs , so any hone with any level of mobility issues would not cope, Breakfast seemed good, although we didn't have full english my poached eggs on toast were perfect. Again ,the host for the dining room was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The central position and parking was useful so don't dismiss it just don't expect too much luxury.
