This was our second trip to the lion at Belpur, and though we couldn’t have the bigger room this time, the room we had was still adequate for what we wanted. Always good friendly staff, who are more than willing to help. The pub is located in a good area, close to shops and high street, and the mills and gardens. Fantastic time which is why we returned.

Stayed here several times now. Staff have always been super friendly and the rooms are good despite being a little dated. The bar is very friendly, food is good and the hotel is conveniently located for the town centre and railway station. Highly recommended.

Too noisy & not suitable for a comfortable sleep.

The car park was nearly full when we arrived and cars parked very badly, and seemed to be used by non guests. Staff were friendly and the good in the bar was good. Unfortunately in the court yard they opened up the covered area and all the wasps came in affecting those dining. The evening was awful. Avoid room 19 is they have a party on. The speakers sounded like they were on the wall next to the room and were blaring and too loud until midnight. We were told there was a warning about this on the booking but we had nothing from Hotels.com. Staff made no effort to appease us. They should not be booking people in to the rooms right by the sound system. It was a hot night but we could not have the windows open due to all the smokers, and some with unpleasant smoke smells coming up from the area under the room window. Again avoid room 19.

Noisy

the room number 12 was located next to a busy road and garage the room was Hot with no air con , had a small fan but with the windows open found it difficult to sleep. the other window overlooked the back of the hotel with the refuse lorry arriving just after 6am. the overall score is reflected in the lack of sleep through noise.

The single room was basic but definitely adequate.The plumbing was noisy. The traffic was noisy and delivery van too. The stand out features for me were the friendliness of all the staff and the quality of the food both the most important features of a stay for me. I would definitely return.

Good Hotel in a good location

Stayed a few times before. Fair value. Excellent choice for a base if you are exploring the area or just need an overnight stay. Good facilities, comfortable beds, good powerful shower, continental breakfast incl. (extra for full English), and good selection of beers. Added bonus of free parking. All round would recommend.
