Our bed was extremely comfortable and the size of the room adequate for our needs. Decor very nice and the shower worked well. The staff were very friendly and efficient and made us feel very welcome. There was a good choice for breakfast and it all tasted lovely. Liked having a fridge in the foyer with fresh milk that guests could use rather than having UHT milk.

We were looking for a rural base from which to explore Rutland for a few days and opted for the White Lion, as it seemed well placed and in a quiet location. It advertises itself as a 'pub with bedrooms', which is spot on. The pub is unpretentious and welcoming, and is very dog-friendly. It is clearly popular with locals, too. The bedroom was simply decorated, comfy and clean. All the staff were friendly and attentive.
Unfortunately, I don't think our stay was well timed. Our bedroom was above the bar and, while we didn't really mind the noise while one of the England world cup matches was on (understandable and fortunately a fixture that finished reasonably early), the pub also had events in the small garden to the rear on the other two evenings of our stay, which were very audible. Additionally, on two of the three evenings the pub was offering a limited menu: Thursdays are apparently a set 'pizza and salad night'. On the other night they had a reduced menu as there was only a single chef due to the annual road race. I was disappointed that we weren't made aware of this when we booked for dinner, as we had done so well in advance and the pub would have known about both of the menu limitations at that time.
