The staff are friendly, it looks like a nice property, but there is noise from the pub on the same road, and the room was tired looking.

Great place to stay
Very friendly staff, excellent location, good food and great atmosphere. The only downside is that there is no on site parking. Although very cheap car park is only 5 minutes walk away

lovely Hotel and location
great location lovely hotel the staff were 1st class at all levels. Breakfast were delicious, we had a light dinner on our second night and the young lad behind the bar was very good and helpfull as was the receptionist when we booked in and were able to go to our room earlier than stated, This was our 48th wedding anniversary - we had a card in our room and a note from the cleaning staff. We certainly will be back and without reservation recommend this lovely hotel.

Centrally located hotel.
The room was exceptionally clean and toiletries eco friendly . The staff were all helpful. Assisted with luggage to the room. We also ate for a lunch and Sunday lunch.
Breakfast was included with a very good choice. The only thing was the shower was difficult to turn on. We are staying again in March 2023.

Character & Comfort Hotel in charming Market Town
Character Hotel in the centre of Charming Market town. Friendly welcome at Check In. A very hot weekend but Bar and Dining Area are air conditioned. Fans provided in rooms. Classic Doubles Rooms are quite compact though very comfortable with extremely high quality fittings and toiletries. Good quality fittings throughout the hotel. Staff extremely pleasant and most accommodating. Freshly prepared breakfasts and evening meals provide pleasant dining. No car park at the hotel though large long or short stay car park about 5 minutes walk.

The hotel is attractive and spacious. Room was a bit small, limited place for luggage. Reception was unable to clarify the parking rules outside the hotel. We were misinformed about this prior to booking. Difficult to get a space to unload. Long stay car park a few minutes walk. Breakfast choices were good, but poached egg was hard unfortunately.

Golden Lion - the good and the not so good.
Good location, comfortable room which could have been a bit cleaner. Beware when putting out the 'green card', as well as not changing towels and linen they may not replenish tea bags, etc nor provide clean cups. Food very good, but table service is a bit variable.
