Everything was great, except the bed was a bit on a small side. It was even too short for me (I am 5'5''). The village of Butterton is really beautiful and we did a great 10km walk from the Wetton Mills Tea Room to Thor's Cave and around the surrounding countryside.

The Black Lion Inn was in perfect location, great hiking opportunities. Really friendly staff and excellent food. We joined a local quiz night which was a fun way to get to know some of the locals. Very friendly people.

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

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
