We are regularly visitors to the White Lion and always enjoy the experience. It is one of those rare finds where you really feel that you are important as a guest and not just a number! From the top to the bottom all the staff are attentive and nothing is too much trouble. How many hotels would you stay in... More

Have stayed at the White Lion a few times before & after the refurb. I took my husband on the 15th of Jan for his 60th birthday on a special deal for one night on the B & B deal. As we have had nice food in the hotel before I booked in for dinner but this time was very... More

Lovely hotel, super staff and very good food indeed - and locally sourced, which was a treat. We really like the atmosphere at the White Lion, pleasantly modern without being brash and cold. The post-Christmas break was amazingly good value, and we were very well looked-after by the super staff. We came home feeling relaxed, recharged and thoroughly spoiled! We... More

This is an excellent Hotel in a prime position overlooking the beach. The Hotel has a high standard of finish and is spotlessly clean in all areas. The staff were attentive courtious and seemed happy in their work. We attended the Valentines Evening Function which was enjoyable and very good value. The locally sourced sourced produce served in the Restaurant... More

I left it rather late booking (48 hours) on a busy weekend at the start of half term. Luckily The White Lion had one room left, but without a sea view. This did not matter one bit as it was dark anyway! We had a lovely time from the moment we arrived on Saturday until we checked out on Sunday.... More

This is a brilliant hotel facing the sea near the town centre. The hotel has been beautifully and sympathetically refurbished and both the comfortable lounges and the bedrooms were excellent. We particularly appreciated how very friendly, courteous and professional all the staff were - without exception.They all seemed to care about the guests and their well-being. The manager is very...

We stayed for two nights on the "winter offer" and had a marvellous time. The hotel has an old feel to it on entry, but the ground floor reception, lounge, dining and bar areas have been tastefuilly modernised to give a relaxing, pleasant ambience. The room included satellite TV, an exceptionally comfortable bed and a good set of toiletries. Afternoon... More

We loved the ambience in the Bar/Brasserie. Great menu, food excellent, all freshly cooked and hot. Wonderful, efficient, organised and... More

We took advantage of the extraordinary post-Christmas offer of afternoon tea, dinner and bed and breakfast for two for £129. The visit began well with the discovery of a parking place immediately outside. Escaping the freezing weather into the hotel, we found the warmth of the reception matched the warmth of the building. To our surprise, a request for a... More

We stayed over 4th and 5th February, 2012 at the invitation of friends. It was starting to snow as we arrived which always helps! Reception was warm, pleasant, and efficient; room very well appointed with lots of extras, often missing in other hotels. The distraction of the end of the toilet-paper folded in a point was, thankfully, absent. Afternoon tea,... More
