ザ ホワイト ライオン イン

Very clean, very helpful staff. Really characterful building.

better breakfast, room a bit grubby shower a bit poor access via stairs difficult to access moor hand rails

Small but clean accommodation, good food but somewhat limited menu. Best coq au vin I’ve had since France! Be aware that it doesn’t open until 5 some days- I was waiting around for an hour.

The Room was okay food job I did not rake a cat as the Double bed took up most of the space. But other than that it was acceptable, just! Byt was really has anniyed me was the way the Hotel have dealt with the fact that Hotels .com booke a second room - maybe it was in case I wanted to swing a Cat in the room! When I arrived at the Hotel I raised the matter with them they blamed Hotels.com when I got Home Hotels.com regusef to do anything about approval from the Hotel so nearly 10 days since my stay and after numerous phone calls and chasing eventually got my Refund no thanks to the Hotel as the Woman who spike to the Rep from Horels.com was rude and would not speak to them on the Phone! Not very professional and very rude.

Friendly and welcoming, lovely hot breakfast

Lovely pub with rooms, staff always welcome, pub grub great, perfect stop for travelling to Birmingham Airport only 4.5 miles away. Second visit this time we were in one of the garden rooms (9) it was quite small, nowhere to sit other than on the bed, nothing can be done to change that but worth a mention, last time we stayed we were in the pub, room slightly bigger, the other thing that could be a small fix, bottle of water in the room as the kettle doesn’t fit under the tap, would improve comfort. Overall good stay.

really good food and bar area rooms just needed a deep cleanse

Interesting pub. Good food. Quirky and interesting. Wasn’t sure at first but enjoyed the stay

The property offers a high standard of basic accommodation. The food was great - a good selection of food and drink - and the service excellent. Not so good was the staircase leading up to the rooms, which was steep, winding and with narrow steps. I appreciate this is a period property and it worked for me; however, those with mobility issues may struggle even with staff assistance. On my visit, the internet was not operational and had not been for several days. It would have been helpful to know this in advance, so I could have prepared to accommodate or, even better, a connection voucher provided by the Inn. This inconvenienced me, yet the Inn offered no compensation for this.

Lovely atmosphere, comfortable beds, hot shower, great breakfast.

Second time we have stayed here and both times have been excellent. The quintessential English country pub that does excellent b and b. The staff are friendly and efficient, the evening meal and breakfasts are superb. Highly recommend.

The White Lion is a nice pub but, unfortunately, my room was very small with a tiny bathroom. I retired early but the noise from the pub was very loud. Food was ok but not spectacular.

Great stopover for one night ready for conference next day.

Perfect for what was required, lovely area and great food.

Lovely one night stay on the way to Birmingham airport, friendly staff, good food, comfortable stay, old public house.

I would definitely stay here again. It was a welcome retreat situated in a pretty village location. I was staying overnight on my own and didn't want to stay in one of the busy large chain hotels. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the pub was typically traditional. My only grumble was the walls were very thin, i had someone staying in the room above, and you could hear every footstep.

Beautiful pub and rooms, we had a warm welcome by staff and enjoyed the food and our stay.

I chose this hotel for location (close to where I was going for work the next day), room price, and (importantly for me) because when I looked online there were a few vegan options on the menu shown. I added a note to the hotel on my booking form to forewarn them I am vegan and would require vegan food for dinner and breakfast. When I arrived there were no vegan options, although I was told that the vegetarian lasagne was vegan and the other option was broccoli and stilton soup … so actually the soup was not vegan due to the cheese ingredient and I had no confidence that the lasagne would genuinely be vegan either. The staff didn’t think they had posted a menu online so the existence of a sample menu for booking remains a mystery. My message to the hotel had either not arrived or not been read - I will never know. Anyway the staff were all genuinely lovely and the chef made me a vegan mushroom risotto for dinner (be warned the specials are quite pricey) and I just had to make the best of breakfast with toast and marmalade, mushrooms, tomato and beans. Overall it’s a nice little, old fashioned (and very old) pub. Rooms are reasonably priced, small but have everything you need (apart from nondairy milk for your tea/ coffee) and the bed was comfy. Quite close to the airport so noisy planes but I slept like a log regardless. Would I stay here again? Good question. I would consider it but would personally phone ahead and agree the vegan options for food and drinks.

Great room, food and staff

We had a room outside the actual pub, so it was very quiet and enjoyable. The staff are naturally happy and friendly, that's what comes from a family run business. Will be staying there again the next time we need to go to the NEC, which is only a few minutes drive away.
