I booked a one night stay for myself and my wife in this hotel on a Friday night. After a slight hiccup with the booking we were shown to a small but cosy and clean ensuite double room. As it was raining (surprise) we went straight down to the bar for a pint and a look at the menu. There... More

After reading the other reviews on this site regarding this hotel it was with some trepidation that we entered the Black Lion Hotel. However the experience we had couldn’t have been more different from those below. Our room was exceptionally clean, spotless in fact! Had a very comfortable super king size bed and was nicely decorated. The food was great,... More

This lovely historic hotel is worth visiting just for the food alone - the evening meal my partner and I enjoyed here was superb. The chef deserves some serious recognition! My partner NEVER eats deserts but the main course was so beautifully cooked and presented that he decided to indulge ... if all deserts were this good (we had the... More

We stayed in Walsingham on a Clergy retreat. Myself, several priests along with a visiting Bishop from another country went in one evening for a night cap. The landlady was playing music from her laptop, and when asked to turn it down, she suggested we move to another room! She was abrupt, rude, and her language was appalling. Later in... More

We had heard great things about the Black Lion hotel from friends and so my fiance decided to book us the 4 poster room there for a night's stay on Saturday, 13th April 2013, to celebrate our anniversary. We were very much looking forward to a night away in this cosy little hotel. However, on Wednesday 10th April I received... More

I stopped in for a drink at the Black Lion on pilgrimage to Walsingham, as I usually do. The TV was on loud, and three of us had to wait at the bar for someone to show up. No problem, really, it get's busy with meals in the restaurant. But when the bar tender came out to serve us, she... More

We booked a Friday lunch for a special family 70th birthday. We wanted somewhere a bit special and were getting the train from Wells to Walsingham - there didn't seem to be much choice of places to eat in the vicinity. The food was good but the dining room was cold and lacked atmosphere. The landlady (if it was the... More

Lovely pub - rude landlady. We were staying nearby and thought we would just call in for a drink one evening. My husband had a beer and I ordered a coffee. I was told it would take 10 minutes as the machine had to warm up which for a pub with a restaurant, I found a little bazaar. After a... More
