Stayed on a routine trip to Melton Mowbray. The White Lion was reasonably priced, warm and comfortable, with WiFi that worked well enough for me to work using Teams. The owners and their staff were friendly and helpful. The English breakfast was cooked to perfection and as it was included in the price just making it very good value. I travel every week, and it is nice to find a warm room as well as a warm welcome.

The Pub was clean and tidy, the flower display outside was outstanding, a lot of time and effort went into the display all around the pub. The staff were very friendly and watched the football with locals in the dining area they were very very friendly as well. will say here again.10/10

Fantastic Place
I stayed here instead of booking into a premium inn in the town and this did not disappoint. It was worth the extra drive just to eat. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was clean and very comfy. The highlight was certainly the breakfast it was delicious and it set me up for the day ahead.

Great place to stay
Had a 2 night stay in this lovely pub. Our room was clean and warm and had all the usual facilities - tea ,coffee TV and ensuite bathroom. Food (evening meal and breakfast) we're excellent and reasonably priced too. Service was second to none and all staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely old fashioned pub with pretty hanging baskets . Our room was large and nicely furnished . The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept on and the ensuite had a bath and shower which was fantastic . We couldn't fault the fish and chips that we had in their restaurant and there were 3 choices of real ale on handpump , which made us happy. Breakfast was served between 7.30 and 9.30 and was excellent. The only downside was the road noise in the morning , but we will be happy to return.

Excellent all round. It was very busy while we were there, always a good sign. Staff were very accommodating. The food was very good. We visit the area a number of times a year and this is where we will stay. Good value.
