We loved our stay at the Lion Inn! From check in to check out and every moment in between the staff were friendly and attentive. We stayed in the Oakley Room and it was just perfect, a stunning room with gorgeous decor and attention to detail, only made better by the huge bathtub! We had breakfast on both mornings of our stay which was delicious and filling with a variety of options. I would highly recommend and stay at The Lion for your visit to the Cotswolds!

Fantastic staff and service. The food was delicious on the Saturday evening and breakfast the next morning was also great with a really generous menu. The pub has a really cosy vibe and the log fire was roaring. Really popular so definitely book ahead.

We can't say enough great things about the Lion Inn! The room, the staff, the food, the ambience and the walking in the Cotswolds were everything we could ask for, and then some!

Room was excellent and location perfect for Cheltenham races. Food (breakfast and dinner) and service great. Accommodation very expensive though and pub was very busy that meant our table for dinner was moved in to bar area and two main courses not available. However, we gave this feedback which was dealt with positively

Everything you'd want from a country pub in the Cotswolds. creaky wooden floors, real beer, glowing fireplace and great pub food (but not pretentious gastro-pub fare). and the room was amazing. We stayed in the Oakley, and it was perfect. super comfortable giant bed, lovely deep bath, and great shower room, with a very convenient motion sensor light that trips on in the night when you need a pee. Lot's of help if needed for local walks etc, and very polite and engaging staff. And Winchcombe is very pretty for a stroll, and very close to Sudeley Castle, and some of the more well known Cotwolds villages. Would very much recommend a stay here!
