One of the best taverns and hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Our room, the outdoor and indoor spaces were beautifully curated. The vibe, the food, the textures/details and the people were second to none. Parking was easy and the town so quaint. Highly recommend the Lion at Malpas.

Almost perfect!
A very enjoyable stay, enhanced by spacious accommodation, excellent food and local cask beers and very pleasant staff.
A slight downside was the lack of a bell on the unmanned reception when we arrived to check in or have breakfast and the rather confusing breakfast table with a sign encouraging us to 'help ourselves' to juices and cereals whilst waiting for a cooked breakfast, but then being charged for them. No-one in attendance most of the time during breakfast - had to ask for spoons.
Despite this the staff were very amiable and the breakfasts superb.
