Childfree break

Room was gorgeous, in a lovely cottage next door to the pub. Breakfast was lovely. Slept well and the bathroom was nice. Tea tray was fab. Only issue we had was the room was freezing, in December. We had to go over to he pub to ask them to turn the heating on as there was no thermostat in the room. When we went out for dinner and drinks and got back, the room was freezing again. So again back to the pub to ask for heat, we were told there was a thermostat on the landing of the cottage this time to control the room, but the thermostat was locked. Like I said, otherwise it was a great stay. Gorgeous. And we’d go again. But maybe in summer.

Almost perfect!

A very enjoyable stay, enhanced by spacious accommodation, excellent food and local cask beers and very pleasant staff. A slight downside was the lack of a bell on the unmanned reception when we arrived to check in or have breakfast and the rather confusing breakfast table with a sign encouraging us to 'help ourselves' to juices and cereals whilst waiting for a cooked breakfast, but then being charged for them. No-one in attendance most of the time during breakfast - had to ask for spoons. Despite this the staff were very amiable and the breakfasts superb.

One of the best taverns and hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Our room, the outdoor and indoor spaces were beautifully curated. The vibe, the food, the textures/details and the people were second to none. Parking was easy and the town so quaint. Highly recommend the Lion at Malpas.

Like everyone who uses this app, my family and I prolifically stay at properties that are pleasant and we enjoy, but don’t always leave a review. In this case this property is more than deserving overview for so many reasons We are a family that resigns in the United States that are represented by Australians And Americans. Without sounding like an idiot, we have fairly high standards when it comes to accommodations, which are not always met in the United Kingdom, which is not a bad thing. It’s just properties sometimes absent or some of the nice niceties that we used to at home. Like a lot of families we’ve done a lot of trips around the United Kingdom also also big fans of welcome to Wrexham so satisfy my children and my wife who I think wanted to bump into Ryan Reynolds. We had to do a trip down towards Wales area to explore. I haven’t been there since a child and while this review is about the hotel. I will say that this is just a spectacularly beautiful part of the world. And this hotel is perfectly positioned to see all the sites which is made even easier by the fact that parking a car is so easy at the property. Wit respect of the property and room itself. They were two adults and twin 12-year-olds and the room area was bigand extremely comfortable, The breakfast it was included is superb and dinner in the restaurant is amazing but most of all I challenged you to find nicer and more Helpful staff if you don’t Stay at this establishment, you. Will make a huge mistake

We went for the cheapest option of rooms, but it was by no means cheap. Excellent value. Very spacious, lovely furnishings, great selection of premium coffees, teas and snacks. The bed was comfortable and lovely rainfall shower. Room was quiet. The restaurant and pub are cosy and trendy, and all of the staff welcoming. We recommend the breakfast, again premium quality meats and cooked to perfection. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return.
