Delicious food; good local produce beatifully cooked, homemade cookies in the room on arrival, yum. Lovely location, it was very easy to find great walks directly from the Inn so we could have car free trips out, the OS map in the room was a bonus and Matt was very happy sharing his local knowledge of the area for our trips out and about. A great relaxing stay in a beautifully quiet area.

Everything we expected was there as it should be, and more. There were little touches in the coffee and tea facilities, with a selection of teas and a large biscuit each. The room and en-suite were immaculately presented, and spotlessly clean. Piping hot water and

The pub has a lovely atmosphere, staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The location was beautiful and very unspoilt. The room was lovely and very comfortable with nice little touches like home baked cookies. The food is delicious!

A bit more storage in the room would have helped

We loved all of the food and stayed for breakfast and evening meals. The owner is an excellent chef. The atmosphere in the bars with three open fires was delightful. The Black Lion is situated in idyllic countryside and walking from the door was a real bonus

We actually were overwhelmed with this B&B - we wanted an-away-from-it-all break and that is exactly what we got. We weren't banking on the superior bed and sparkling white bed linen, the food was beyond expectations and, because it was dog friendly we expected some clue that a dog had stayed in the room before and there wasn't a trace. It was totally spotless and fresh. The atmosphere in the bar/eating areas was so relaxed with fires and low music, people enjoying themselves. All those who worked there seemed genuinely happy in their roles: it was a team that worked with warmth towards each other as well as guests. The dog was welcome in all areas (that matters to us) but we especially liked the side entrance to the rooms so that we felt okay taking him out for a nocturnal wee (the dog!) without bothering anyone else in the building. There is homemade butter, bacon, marmalade and sourdough (and lots more) with everything locally sourced where at all possible. The menu is traditional with really imaginative perks - oxtail ragu, mushroom ketchup (like a fine duxelles), barley risotto, and clever vegan options. Owners Matt (also the chef) and Hannah have obviously worked at their business, making a focus on community and environmental issues. My husband was really impressed with the customised Ordnance Survey map in the room, proper tea, coffee and milk (in a flask), and the homemade chocolate cookies.

The staff were lovely, the food was excellent, eat both nights we stayed and the room was nice and clean. There is no phone reception but think that depends on your Internet provider and it was nice that my phone wasn't ringing every 5 mins haha. They have excellent WiFi. Its not far from Alton Towers. Will be back again for the country walks.
