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.

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.
