Really lovely room - cute with sloping ceiling and nice touches. We had dinner in the pub that was excellent with great service. Breakfast was good - one course - would have been nice if there had been a cereal / yogurt and fruit option to start with, service at breakfast was a little slow - initially to be acknowledged and then served - we were the only people in the pub for breakfast. There was a problem with the shower - too hot / too cold and would not turn off. Told staff to be told there was a problem in the other rooms and the switches weren’t very good - which was a bit disappointing as it suggested they were aware. But overall evening meal and service more than made up for some slight disappointments.

New world luxury in traditional pub
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.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
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 .
