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.

Hotel was great, ideal for a weekend visit. Only issues were the noise from the function below and the incredible heat in the rooms, even on a cold day it was roasting. Odd...
