Lion Hotel Exmoor

The beds were very comfortable to have an excellent sleep. The breakfast was delicious.

Sadly when I arrived I was dismayed to discover that the bar and restaurant in the hotel were closed for renovation,it might have been better to know this before arriving after a 5 hour train journey. The owners did offer to make me a meal and that was kind but when I mentioned I needed to leave at 7:30 in the morning to get the train home I was informed that breakfast wasn’t served until 8!! I was able to, make a coffee in my room. Perhaps a reduction on the bill might have been appropriate but it wasn’t offered. The bathroom in my room was very basic and the room was far too hot, the windows were streaming with condensation, the bed was comfy and the bed linen was nice but sadly that’s about it.

Friendly enough, pleasant staff. But this place is in desperate need of some renovations and a deep clean (downstairs especially) and new carpets (?) to remove the funky smell, which was not good. But lots of potential!

This is an old building and part of the charm of the village. A lovely breakfast and welcome. The room was spacious and warm. The hotel does need refurbishment and some decoration but it is central and close to the shops and restaurants

Characterful inn, friendly welcome and service, pretty village with good walking.

The staff were lovely and really helpful. The bedroom and other facilities were a little dated and need a bit of a revamp but it was clean.

Check in was a bit of a mix up despite having checked in online the day before. However, was resolved fairly quickly. The hotel is not modern but perfectly acceptable for an overnight stay. The room and bathroom needed a thorough spring clean. The bed was very clean and comfortable and towels were excellent. The tv was only marginally bigger than a computer monitor. Alas, the restaurant was closed due to the chef being on holiday which I was only advised of by email and advised to seek alternatives when checking in. By this time the restaurant next-door was fully booked and had to settle for fish and chip takeaway. Breakfast was OK but the table was not prepared properly.

Absolutely lovely staff. Made to feel very welcome. Very helpful and friendly. Very comfortable bed. Fabulous breakfast. Very good location. Very poor wifi in room. The decor in the room could do with a freshen up but it had everything I needed and the water was nice and hot for a bath.

We've been before and came back again for the fabulous breakfast and warm welcome! A wonderful family-run establishment. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Wonderful greeting by the host. Very accommodating with storage for my bike. Very nice, comfortable room and a very nice breakfast. Highly recommend.

Great location, for what we needed spot on. Its an old building, not modern, so don't expect the world. Owners were great, friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfy, clean and quiet, not huge but thats the building. Was told to run hot eater for a while to get it to come, takes a few minutes but when it arrives its HOT. Food in restaurant is excellent, service isn't quick thats the only complaint. But worth the wait. Would I stay again? Yes without hesitation, has everything needed

50th wedding, retracing visits. Reception not welcoming. Restaurant not welcoming. Toilet didn’t flush. Floorboards creaking. Room was very cold. Tv was 14 inches?? Breakfast was disappointing - eggs not cooked, 30 minute wait. No parking. We ate down the road at the bridge which was excellent. Dogs welcome and £5 per dog good value.

Lovely old building in centre of village. Big and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast. Very good value.

Staff is friendly. The breakfast was very tasty and the portions were generous.

Trevlig personal. Byggnaden är en gammal byggnad men det var charmigt- knarrade lite i dörrarna och trappstegen😊 Liten trpng by men fanns en stor parkering väldigt nära. Mysig engelsk by
