Splendid three night break. The hotel goes from strength to strength, especially since the modenisation / alterations. The new Dining Room is a delight and the provision of a reception desk has made a difference. The location of the hotel is perfect, although parking can sometimes be tricky. An unusual feature is the level of service and friendliness of the... More

We stayed in the White Lion Hotel on New Years Day 2012 and were very impressed with the excellent location of this fine Hotel. We were lucky enough to get free parking outside the hotel, as this area gets very busy, but the hotel does also have some parking behind. We stayed in one of the budget rooms which was... More

The food was freshly cooked and served with a smile! The staff were efficient and friendly, and seemed to have a knack of making us feel very... More

Overall the hotel is very nice there are a few minor issues which i believe they should attend to the first being the entrance door, yes door. As the bag carrier in the family I found trying to navigate 2 weekend bags through a swing door then a single door which are basically on top of each other quite amusing... More

Chef said the oysters were not fit to serve and because it was busy they had run out of dover sole. This during their fish festival week. After complaining to the Hotel Manager, he took my name and room number, and did... More
