Gorgeous room in a comfy pub. Staff were welcoming and friendly, offering tips on walking routes and things to see and do in Winchcombe. The breakfast was excellent and a pint by the fire was welcome after a day's walking.

The lion inn is a charming old pub with a pretty garden and we had an okay stay. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean , food was good, and our room was quiet. However, the property is tired, the shower was tricky, carpet had stains and the wifi didn’t work. Staff were underwhelming and we felt it was overpriced .

Not a bargain at 1/2 the price
To be fair the restaurant and bar were very good. Hotel? Very noisy. If you want to stay up late, close the bar and are a heavy sleeper then this place is for you. Original room was above the kitchen. A fan or pump went on and off all day and most of the night. Changed rooms and the restaurant and bar noise was bad until late. It was a weekend. Due to downgrade of room when we moved a partial refund was promised. Not received nor communication returned since. Obviously not recommended.

My husband and I spent Christmas at the Lions Inn. The manager and staff, (cheers to our delightful breakfast server) were so professional, kind, and joyful. Lion Inn was a magical place to celebrate the holiday. Excellent room, food, and hospitality and staff.

Atmospheric traditional pub with good accommodation. This isn't the Ritz, however, the accommodation is comfortable and clean. The breakfast was excellent and I recommend the Full English. Service at breakfast time was excellent. All in all an excellent value stay.
