It is rare to experience a PERFECT stay. The Lion Inn was exactly the perfect stay. When we arrived at this amazing 1600s Inn, we were so warmly welcomed by Kealiegh. Unsolicited, she gave us an upgrade to a beautiful quiet room. This huge ensuite room , newly renovated in January this year , with a King bed included tea and coffee, a kettle, fresh milk provided and home made biscuits. There was a huge bath tub which was a welcome luxury after a long walk. We had dinner in the restaurant adjoining the Lion Inn, which, by the way has just been awarded a Rosette. Dinner was exceptionally good, despite the lack of fish options on the menu. This was simply due to its popularity. Breakfast was cooked to order. All of the staff go out of their way to ensure that you have a great experience. Wish we'd been here for longer! Thanks Kealiegh, Lottie and Karyn!! PS We loved the little night light beside the toilet! Brilliant idea.

Nothing to dislike. It was a perfect stay.

Beautifully and tastefully furnished rooms in a recently refurbed country pub setting. Excellent and attentive staff and although very busy, service in restaurant and bar was good and seemed well organised.

We stayed during Cheltenham Festival week so it was very expensive - checked when we got home today and a two night stay next week is just over half what we paid - supply and demand! A very old building with limited space so no wardrobes which we cooed with for a two night stay and also size dictated that the shower cubicle was very small. However the bed was very comfortable and the bed linen of superior quality so all in all a very nice place to stay

We had a genuine welcome when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble and they booked us in for dinner (and breakfast!) by a log fire in the snug. Our room was atmospheric and historic but comfortable and although it was just above the bar, not too noisy. It was mothering Sunday and the staff ran over the road to buy flowers for a father who had forgotten to order them and whose mother was staying at the Lion.

There was no lock on the bathroom door - which might not worry most people. And a rather confusing shower with lots of knobs and levers but no instructions. We googled it!

Perfect for an overnight or weekend stay, especially if you're walking the cotswold way or exploring the area. We stayed in a twin room, over the bar area. Super comfortable beds, newly decorated, fresh coffee, tea and biscuits, lovely hot shower.. Staff friendly and professional. Good communication before arrival. Kudos to the chefs in the kitchen. We had a superb evening meal, and the breakfast was a real surprise.... absolutely delicious! We thought the room might be noisy as located over the bar area but wasn't an issue at all.

Can't fault it!

The location was excellent, the pub and the room were amazing, historic and well maintained. Good looking pub and beer garden is beautiful and relaxing. The room was spacious, the bathroom was nice, overall the stay was brilliant. The restaurant for breakfast was amazing, everything was cooked fresh and tasted absolutely delicious. The bar staff were super friendly and helpful. The overall atmosphere of the pub was relaxed and comfortable and I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.

There was no handle or lock on the bathroom door and as I was sharing with a friend, I didn't want to share the intimate bathroom moments with nothing holding the door closed. The other problem was the lack of power outlets in the room. I understand it is an ancient pub and we were above the bar, in the historic room, and electricity wasn't a thing when the pub was built, but maybe one more outlet would have been useful or an extension cable?

Was right next to the Fantasy Forest festival, perfect location :D Staff was very friendly and I loved seeing people’s dogs the hotel.

- Booking WAY overcharged us for the room. I paid about £270 for one night, and then the next day we looked at rooms on the app again and there was a suite available for £226 a night … we had the smallest room. When I asked the staff I was told Booking was the one to set the prices. I think they purposely bumped up the prices because of the festival, I felt completely ripped off. -Had a minor issue with the shower that was hard to start/adjust the temperature but someone from the staff came up and helped us with it !

This was absolutely my favorite accommodations in our month-long visit to the UK. We were in the Oakley, and it was beautiful and very comfortable. The interior design team did a fabulous job on this room. From the bed linens, wallpaper, headboard, and the beautiful chandeliers with vaulted ceilings. Everything was top quality. The staff was very accommodating, the food was fabulous and we met some really nice people while we were there.

The restaurant and pub areas

Our room wasn’t ideal, very close to traffic from parking and couldn’t open windows because too exposed to people sitting outside in beer garden area. Also, our room could have used some maintenance from the shower door handle missing parts, to the soap dispensers mounted to wall being empty, just little things that could easily be fixed. Also, there were leaves all around the door that kept blowing into the room, so our carpeted floor was covered in leaves. I believe other rooms at the Lion Inn were great and we just got the worst room. Also, the ceiling was very low and so between having to keep the shutters closed for privacy and the low ceiling the room felt claustrophobic!

I had requested twin beds but unfortunately the accommodation couldn't meet our request so they went above and beyond and gave us two separate double rooms. It was fantastic and we were extremely grateful. The dinner was superb and so was breakfast. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the location was ideal. It was great value for money and we were made to feel very at home. Will definitely return for another visit.

Spent 2 nights here and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Warm greeting and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. We certainly noticed extra care, thought and planning ahead. Room was stunning, warm and we had everything we needed. Service is spot on! The food was divine! Couldn’t recommend it more! Full English breakfast is the one! Interior design is beautiful. Considered and in keeping with the old style of the building. Very cosy. Tuesday quiz night was so much fun! All the staff we interacted with were great to us. We loved our stay here! Exceed all our expectations! Fab!

This wasn’t even an issue to be honest, just thought the info about the loyalty app could have been a bit more transparent with set up and if you are entitled to use the discounts straight away if you join up. This is not a complaint by any means.
