Great location. Good sized room and clean inside. Excellent staff. Great breakfast for £12 per person. The bedroom carpet smelt of dog. The seat covers in the breakfast area were badly stained and both need deep cleaning. I would stay there again.

The staff at The Golden Lion were incredible. Everyone was helpful and kind. The breakfast was really tasty. And I loved that there were some hours reserved only for the hotel residents before/after the public could come in. Great location. It was fantastic. I'd stay there again!
