What a gorgeous place to stay! We loved our room, it felt elegant and comfortable. The staff is superb, very kind and friendly. Highly recommend The Lion Inn. We also had dinner here it was absolutely delicious!

The lion inn is a charming old pub with a pretty garden and we had an okay stay. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean , food was good, and our room was quiet.
However, the property is tired, the shower was tricky, carpet had stains and the wifi didn’t work. Staff were underwhelming and we felt it was overpriced .

A TOTAL GEM IN THE COTSWOLDS!
Having visited the Cotswolds many times as one of our favourite staycations. The Lion Inn was the best hotel we have stayed in. Leanne and Ula are a credit to the business. Room 4 a feature room was absolutely beautiful and very spacious. Being situated in the centre of the town was fantastic with all the lovely little boutiques and restaurants right in the doorstep. Sudeley castle is situated in the town and you are only 8 miles from Cheltenham! The breakfast at the Lion was amazing. We had supper on tfe first night which was also very good and Leanne’s cocktails a MUST!! We can’t wait to go back. The Halls

More of a whimper than a roar
The Lion Winchcombe.
There are a number of issues with this hotel.
The checkin seems a bit casual and offhand. There is no credit card authorisation to cover any extras.
Most of the staff are delightful but some are very offhand at times
However, it’s a quaint real-feel local pub with a good restaurant and some rustic hotel rooms and serves a fine breakfast.
These further comments relate to our experience of room 2.
The challenges of bathroom access (low ceiling and step entry) are clearly products of the age of the building, which is also part of its charm, of course. However these features might be a serious physical challenge to some and this could be made clearer at the time of booking.
There are some issues of substantive concern in a hotel of this star rating.
The liquid stain on the carpet in the room, the overpowering smell of cigarette smoke when you enter the room, the mould in the shower, the leaking toilet cistern when flushed, the TV remote control that periodically loses contact with the TV and the battery cover for the remote that falls off every time you pick it up and which we eventually had to fix with a Band-Aid. Because of the rooms location over the bar it is pretty noisy at night until after 11pm.
Would I go to the lion for dinner and a beer if I was trapped in Winchcombe for a day…yes definitely.
Would I choose to stay in room 2, not so much.

No electricity
The room itself was beautiful and the breakfast was good, however…we had no electricity in our room (no plugs, no TV etc.). We did not realise this until we can home from a wedding by which point reception was closed. I therefore called the reception in the morning and politely asked if they could send someone to take a look - the answer was no because she was working alone and didn’t know what was wrong because the switchboard looked fine. I said fair enough but what time will someone be able to look, she was unable to provide an answer. I understand this is a small pub with a small team but if you are charging £225 for one night, you expect to have electricity or be offered an alternative room or a partial refund.

A great stay!
We had a great time at The Lion Inn. The room was lovely, very cosy, comfortable and clean. The staff were really friendly and we would recommend it to anyone travelling to Winchcombe. Perfect location.
