Arriving at the hotel we were a bit apprehensive as it looked run down from the outside but what a wonderful surprise it was. You can tell the place has recently been refurbished and it looks great. We arrived earlier than expected but they were happy to accomodate us and let us into our rooms early. My b/f's mum has... More

We had my brothers wedding here and the family and I cannot fault the venue, staff, food or service at all. With 12 years in hospitality I am normally very picky however on this occasion I couldn't find fault. We stayed the night before and was made very welcome, offered assistance to rooms with bags and suit carriers. The rooms... More

My sister and I stayed there in August, to attend a family wedding. The reception was held at the hotel. We booked a twin room for two nights, about three or more months before the wedding. My sister has slight mobility problems, the hotel has no lift, so her Grandson looked at the rooms, and chose one for her. Four... More

Stayed two nights at this hotel and it was fab! It has recently been refurbished and the rooms were nicely furnished, beds very comfy and everything very clean and modern. The rest of the hotel was tastefully furnished but homely. We experienced the food (several times) and it was excellent; breakfast was lovely and very well presented. It was obvious... More

Recently refurbed to a good standard, warm inviting rooms and friendly service. Plenty of free parking is a refreshing bonus. Whether business or family stop-over I would recommend, in fact relatives are visiting in September and will be stopping in this comfortable hotel.

We were attending a family Jubilee party here and decided to stay to make the most of the night. This is a lovely Georgian style building in the centre of Wisbech which is being lovingly restored by its owners. It has to be said that there were lots of steep stairs to the bedrooms but I understand that a lift... More

My room was nice for the type of establishment it was, bed very comfy but if you are expecting to be able to hand clothes its is one long hook on the wall and you could hand about 3 things. Staff were very mixed; first older lady was very friendly and welcoming, one on bar was aggressive and the others... More

Nice enough for the price and a great location in Wisbech. My room was small, but was a single so I guess that is to be expected. No filter coffee in my room I'm afraid (was mentioned in other rooms and I had eagerly anticipated it). Breakfast is made to order, meals at night are good English food eg good... More

I stayed for one night at this hotel/pub and friends were astonished I had chosen it as it had a reputation for being rough. However, it is under new management and has recently been refurbished and the interior is very pleasant - boutique style furnishings and very fancy bathroom fittings. The beds were comfortable and we had a very large... More

The White Lion in Wisbech was a big disappointment. Our room is small and cramped with no space to store clothing and very little room for suitcases. The bed however is large and comfortable so I suppose that's a plus. Dine here at your peril. The "chef" does NOT know how to cook. At all! Just had the most disgusting... More
