Really quaint old inn with lots of exposed stone walls & beams. Staff were super friendly & helpful - really warm welcome & nothing was too much trouble. Bed very comfortable & the small double room I had was perfect just for me. Food in the restaurant was delicious & there was a good choice. Breakfast plentiful, well presented & hearty. Will be staying there again on my way to Devon

We would highly recommend staying at The white lion inn. It provides all you could need and more. The inn had a very eclectic design and interesting furniture and pictures. 10/10 facilities in are room which made use feel very comfortable. We had a meal at the inn and it did not let use down highly recommended. Lovely garden at the back for sitting out in when weather is warm. We would definitely stay again.
