    We've stayed at the Black Lion before, so we knew we were in for a fabulous stay. It didn't disappoint. Dinner was amazing, the room was perfect, and the breakfast the next day was fabulous - home made bread and jam and the cooked breakfast looked great. I had the most delicious bowl of porridge, and I don't know how you make porridge so nice, but the chef managed!

    Absolutely nothing to not like.

    Beautiful setting, and an authentic country pub. Absolutely fantastic if you like walking and the outdoors. Only a small number of bedrooms so all interactions seem very personal and special. Staff extremely friendly, food was beautiful.

    Lovely pub and hotel. We had a family meal at lunchtime and went for a walk. The countryside us stunning and the hotel ideally located. The room was cozy and we had everything we needed including tea/coffee and a homemade cookie..

    A wonderfully cosy pub in a beautiful location. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and made our stay really special. Wide selection of drinks at the bar and the food, both for dinner and for breakfast, was exceptional.

    Not a problem to us but the stairs to the upstairs rooms might be a bit of a challenge for some

    Attention to detail was good - a flask of fresh milk in the room. Lovely ingredients used in the cooking.

    Unspoilt village pub, lovely staff in the bar, friendly locals, the room was well renovated with lovely little touches to make it welcoming and a very nice shower. The food was well presented and tasted incredible, dinner and breakfast both fantastic. Highly recommend this little gem close to great walking routes. We will be back.

    We came for my partners 30th birthday and they had decorated our room with birthday banners. The welcome was exceptional from all the staff. The food in the restaurant was amazing and we were looked after so well during our stay. Thank you all for making our trip so lovely! Our room was delightful, great facilities, comfortable and stylish. We wished we’d booked for longer! Our dog was happy too! Really lovely place, we will be back!

    Nothing we didn’t like but had to be a bit careful in the room due to sloping ceiling 😁

    Great staff, cracking beer, evening meal & breakfast. Nice local traditional pub feel, very friendly, nice real fires which is great at this time of year.

    It was when I was about to end my reservation (or maybe already had confirmation ?) that I discovered that there were no breakfast ; I don't remember it was clearly & obviously announced at presentation of facilities ; it makes the stay quite expensive but all prices are quite high in teh surroundings. No BBC program available on TV.

    Incredibly quiet ;
