We have already booked another stay that’s how great this place is 😁

Everything , we love old buildings, it had character. Plenty of parking as well. The inside is beautiful and well thought out. The food is excellent and the breakfast which was included in the price of our stay was also lovely.

OK but could have been better.

Convenient for the surrounding area

Not as luxurious as we hoped. Few things that needed sorting with the room.

Diisappointing really and I doubt that I would book here again.

Fresh milk available

This is the third time I have stayed at this property over a number of years and quite by chance the first two times I was in Room 1 and this time I was in Room 5 facing the road. The room was very tired looking with a dirty and frayed carpet, a cracked wardrobe mirror and was really gloomy. The road is surprising busy and noisy, so no chance of keeping the windows open. I think this place might have changed ownership, and it is desperately in need of some refurbishment as it is poor value for money now.

Relaxing Enjoyable and good value for money

it was very tastefully decorated and well kept. it was like home from home. a pleasure to stay at The lion. we stayed in one room that was great. on passing through on the way back to the north stayed again in a different room. it was different but fabulous too. The breakfast was delicious. All the team were brilliant. Nothing was any trouble.

I can’t think of anything.

it was a great start to our holiday. also a good finale to our holiday, from Thornton-Cleveleys to Cornwall and return.

it was tastefully decorated.fitted its original era. it was lovely inside and out. we stayed in a room on the way to our vacation and one of the other room’s coming home. Each were individually designed by Barrie the owner. The breakfast was very good. Ate there one evening and was very nice. All of the staff were fabulous and so helpful. I would describe it as home away from home. The bar was great too. They are continuing to improve the the yard space at the back as we saw today. so that will be finished when we revisit. well done Barrie and your team. Thank you.

Lovely 1 night stay in Somerset

Friendly staff, decor, free parking, free WiFi, great menu and drinks.

Only problem we had was they needed a new seal or plug on the bath as the water drained out of it when I filled it up. Can't fault anything else

Excellent accommodation breakfast and friendly staff.highly recommend.

We had our pet with us. So great to have private access away from main pub hotel. Plenty parking. Great friendly welcome great choice wines and beer. Breakfast was excellent plenty fresh choice and a cooked breakfast. Our room was so comfortable with deep roll top bath separate shower and wonderful bathing toiletries. Fridge in room to chill milk which was provided. And any of your own drinks could be stored in there too. Just outside Glastonbury so ideally situated. Staff could not do enough for you.

Little bit of noise from road traffic mainly the odd car and tractor but it did not disrupt our sleep.

Much more than a pub with rooms.

Clean modern room, the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The best cooked breakfats I've had in a long time, everything was of high quality and cooked well. Lots of thoughtful touches.

Fairly busy road but windows blocked almost all the noise.

Great place, lovely location for Glastonbury. Would stay there again.

Lovely place, lovely decor. Beds were very comfy. Food was lovely and staff were very helpful and friendly. Good facilities in the room. Good breakfast choices.

We did have some very loud neighbours who were back and forth and up till gone 1am. Radiator was on full blast in room so we had to open window as it was so hot.
