Overnight Stay

Pros: The hotel provided tea, coffee, biscuits and all toiletries along with some additional extras. We could help ourselves to cereal and yoghurt and had a full english breakfast with toast and coffee. The hotel also serve evening meals at a reasonable cost.

Cons: The noise from the bar below could be heard in our room until the bar area closed, although the hotel supply ear plugs.

Beautiful, friendly and highly recommend

Pros: The owners and staff were fantastic, friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious both for the evening meal and breakfast. Stunning views looking out and if we had time to explore we would have as it was located in lovely countryside. The owners even pre-warned us of a darts competition taking place at their venue the night we were coming and offered us to cancel free of charge. However, the atmosphere from it was very nice and everyone was having fun.

A lovely short break in a small friendly and welcoming traditional hotel in the countryside.

Pros: The Lion Hotel is a lovely small traditional hotel set in a small peaceful village in a beautiful valley. Ray and Janet are very kind hosts, eager to help, and the rest of the staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is clearly the centre for social activities for the surrounding area, and locals were friendly and welcoming. The food was good, and breakfasts excellent. It was a great base for a couple of days break and to do some walking in the Radnorshire hills.
