Highly recommended

Absolutely gorgeous find, the owner is welcoming & extremely hospitable. Room was outstanding would definitely recommend to eat here. Even made us a breakfast pack up. Only slight point was the noise but to be expected as we were above the bar … but don’t let that put you off. Superb stay highly recommended

The hotel was a good base for the surrounding area. It was very clean and the staff were lovely and helpful. I've given it 4 stars on facilities because our room was quite small and didn't have a lot of room to manoevre around. Also we didn't realise when we booked that the pub didn't do food on the Sunday or Monday evenings and the bar closed early too. Overall a pleasant stay.

Stayed on a routine trip to Melton Mowbray. The White Lion was reasonably priced, warm and comfortable, with WiFi that worked well enough for me to work using Teams. The owners and their staff were friendly and helpful. The English breakfast was cooked to perfection and as it was included in the price just making it very good value. I travel every week, and it is nice to find a warm room as well as a warm welcome.
