Room was excellent, very comfortable, clean and relaxing with a settee and TV in the room. Fresh milk for tea and coffee. Breakfast very good and very nice host. Would recommend this bed and breakfast. More

I stayed in the Golden lion House in August for 2 nights with my partner as we were attending a wedding in the nearby Lavender House Hotel. The B&b is right in the town and easy access to all amenities. Our room was huge and very nicely decorated. The breakfast that we had on both mornings was really nice and... More

First of all, thanks for the very kind comments - we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. For anyone considering staying here in future, these guests were in a room with an en suite bathroom featuring a free standing roll top bath. Try as we might, we haven't come up with a way of also incorporating a shower. However,... More

Over a period of years we have stopped off at the Golden Lion House on our way to visit our daughter. There has always been a good welcome, and having stayed in all the double rooms I can vouch for the good standard, and comfortable beds. More

We spent one night at the Golden Lion House recently and had a lovely stay. We would echo many of the nice reviews written previously. The house is lovely, with spacious, airy rooms and nice touches like fresh milk and nice toiletries. The owners were friendly, helpful and made us a fabulous breakfast. We would highly recommend this B+B to... More

Stayed during the coldest week of the year. Very comfortable, excellent breakfast, large room with settee and TV. Wifi that worked. Car parking. Plenty of pubs nearby for good evening meals. Splendid. More

We stayed for one night at the Golden Lion, and really enjoyed it. Our room was massive, comfortable and simply but well decorated. Brilliant breakfast and charming host. Would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting this pleasant town - all it needs is a good gastro-pub! More

- absolutely exemplary; the standard by which ALL hotels and bed and breakfasts should be judged (and I've been to many). A professional standard of hospitality throughout - immaculate bedroom, wonderful small (but important ) touches such as a selection of teas (including peppermint) and real milk in the room! Terrific breakfast with that rare luxury - scrambled eggs which... More

I recently did a wonderful cooking course in Ashburton and had the most fantastic few nights in the Golden Lion House B&B. I could not fault it - everything was perfect. Wonderful hosts, delicious breakfasts and a fantastic room - which was huge and extremely comfortable. Wonderful sofa and big bed - just what I needed after a long day... More

After staying at a 4 star B&B the night before which really impressed us, our impressions of this 5* B&B were not good. The owner was pleasant but did not go out of his way to let us know where to go in Ashburton for a meal or even willingly to exchange pleasantries throughout our stay. From the entrance to... More

After two and a half years in business and more than fifteen hundred guests, this is our very first negative review. We have also never had guests leave having expressed dissatisfaction with their stay - and that record remains intact, as these visitors did not voice any of these concerns while they were here. Some points are easy to refute:... More

We have just returned from a five night stay at Golden Lion House and our only wish is that it had been longer. This accommodation is run with almost an old fashioned virtue of decency and value and puts a great majority of hotels to shame. Rooms are spacious, probably the biggest you will find anywhere,clean and comfortable and the... More
