Overall Ratings & Reviews The Lion Inn

Lovely old pub with great food and excellent staff. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Cotswolds.

Everyone there did what we did and had their suitcases transported separately so they could hike Cotswold Way. Excellent vegan options for dinner and breakfast. Free drink upon arrival. Walking distance to Cotswold Way, the castle, and all downtown shops.

Lovely place with wonderful customer service !

A very pleasant 2 night stay. Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Food in the restaurant was very good. Rooms had been updated and were done to a high standard. Our room did become a little hot due to a sunny day and just windows to allow in the air. Breakfasts were excellent but at busy times I felt for the staff as they were definitely stretched though they did their utmost to keep everything going. Well done to them. We would stay again for sure.

Had the most wonderful night at the Lion hotel winchcombe. All the staff were lovely and our room was outstanding! Breakfast was delicious too! Really looking forward to our dinner with friends on Wednesday ! Well done to all

Beautiful Inn we will definitely be badk

Really lovely room - cute with sloping ceiling and nice touches. We had dinner in the pub that was excellent with great service. Breakfast was good - one course - would have been nice if there had been a cereal / yogurt and fruit option to start with, service at breakfast was a little slow - initially to be acknowledged and then served - we were the only people in the pub for breakfast. There was a problem with the shower - too hot / too cold and would not turn off. Told staff to be told there was a problem in the other rooms and the switches weren’t very good - which was a bit disappointing as it suggested they were aware. But overall evening meal and service more than made up for some slight disappointments.

Didn’t sleep due to noise coming from the kitchen room 4 and the shower didn’t work and was dangerous.

A very beautiful Cotswolds pub. Lovely walks around the area and great eateries. Pub food was great and accommodation amazing value for money.

Wonderful place with character, warm welcome and good food. Extra plus for warm bathrooms.

Tasteful decor, quality tea coffee set up ( French press, lavazza coffee). Staff were very responsive and helpful when we needed to change our reservation. Very good breakfast.

Don’t book this place to stay if you want to eat as well they will not have a table for you unless you book a month ahead

Great stay, perfect pub with rooms for a trips to Cheltenham. Great location, village and setting

The team at the Lion in Winchcombe provide a warm welcome, complemented by a clean and comfortable room. I look forward to staying again next month.

Lovely room and great location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great food and an amazing bfast. Thank you

To be fair the restaurant and bar were very good. Hotel? Very noisy. If you want to stay up late, close the bar and are a heavy sleeper then this place is for you. Original room was above the kitchen. A fan or pump went on and off all day and most of the night. Changed rooms and the restaurant and bar noise was bad until late. It was a weekend. Due to downgrade of room when we moved a partial refund was promised. Not received nor communication returned since. Obviously not recommended.

Gorgeous room in a comfy pub. Staff were welcoming and friendly, offering tips on walking routes and things to see and do in Winchcombe. The breakfast was excellent and a pint by the fire was welcome after a day's walking.

What a gorgeous place to stay! We loved our room, it felt elegant and comfortable. The staff is superb, very kind and friendly. Highly recommend The Lion Inn. We also had dinner here it was absolutely delicious!

The lion inn is a charming old pub with a pretty garden and we had an okay stay. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean , food was good, and our room was quiet. However, the property is tired, the shower was tricky, carpet had stains and the wifi didn’t work. Staff were underwhelming and we felt it was overpriced .

The room itself was beautiful and the breakfast was good, however…we had no electricity in our room (no plugs, no TV etc.). We did not realise this until we can home from a wedding by which point reception was closed. I therefore called the reception in the morning and politely asked if they could send someone to take a look - the answer was no because she was working alone and didn’t know what was wrong because the switchboard looked fine. I said fair enough but what time will someone be able to look, she was unable to provide an answer. I understand this is a small pub with a small team but if you are charging £225 for one night, you expect to have electricity or be offered an alternative room or a partial refund.
