Luxurious room! We splurged for the nicer room and wow! Wonderful staff, good beer selection. We needed to leave early the next morning so the chef packed us a picnic breakfast with lots of fruit, a blt sandwich, crackers and jams and cookies. Ate it on a hill overlooking a field of sheep and the town below. So memorable!

We loved our stay at the Lion Inn! From check in to check out and every moment in between the staff were friendly and attentive. We stayed in the Oakley Room and it was just perfect, a stunning room with gorgeous decor and attention to detail, only made better by the huge bathtub! We had breakfast on both mornings of our stay which was delicious and filling with a variety of options. I would highly recommend and stay at The Lion for your visit to the Cotswolds!

Accommodation very expensive though and pub was very busy that meant our table for dinner was moved in to bar area and two main courses not available. However, we gave this feedback which was dealt with positively

Everything you'd want from a country pub in the Cotswolds. creaky wooden floors, real beer, glowing fireplace and great pub food (but not pretentious gastro-pub fare). and the room was amazing. We stayed in the Oakley, and it was perfect. super comfortable giant bed, lovely deep bath, and great shower room, with a very convenient motion sensor light that trips on in the night when you need a pee. Lot's of help if needed for local walks etc, and very polite and engaging staff. And Winchcombe is very pretty for a stroll, and very close to Sudeley Castle, and some of the more well known Cotwolds villages. Would very much recommend a stay here!

A very pleasant 2 night stay. Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Food in the restaurant was very good. Rooms had been updated and were done to a high standard. Our room did become a little hot due to a sunny day and just windows to allow in the air. Breakfasts were excellent but at busy times I felt for the staff as they were definitely stretched though they did their utmost to keep everything going. Well done to them. We would stay again for sure.

Really lovely room - cute with sloping ceiling and nice touches. We had dinner in the pub that was excellent with great service. Breakfast was good - one course - would have been nice if there had been a cereal / yogurt and fruit option to start with, service at breakfast was a little slow - initially to be acknowledged and then served - we were the only people in the pub for breakfast. There was a problem with the shower - too hot / too cold and would not turn off. Told staff to be told there was a problem in the other rooms and the switches weren’t very good - which was a bit disappointing as it suggested they were aware.

But overall evening meal and service more than made up for some slight disappointments.

Not a bargain at 1/2 the price

To be fair the restaurant and bar were very good.
Hotel? Very noisy. If you want to stay up late, close the bar and are a heavy sleeper then this place is for you.
Original room was above the kitchen. A fan or pump went on and off all day and most of the night. Changed rooms and the restaurant and bar noise was bad until late. It was a weekend.
Due to downgrade of room when we moved a partial refund was promised. Not received nor communication returned since.
Obviously not recommended.

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 lovely 1 night stay at The Lion. Just me and my dog - they are very welcoming to dogs. Room was clean and warm with good quality toiletries and tea/coffee. Bed was very comfortable. I had dinner in the evening which was excellent. The dining area had a friendly, lively atmosphre and the pub in general is a perfect old-style place with good beers on tap but also a gastro-pub style menu and wine list. Breakfast in the morning was also just as you would want it - I had the full English which set me up very well for the day.
Took a walk up to Belas Knap Long Barrow and then Cleeve Hill - both highly recommended if you want to tire your dog out and get some magnificent views yourself!
I only saw the town/village when everything was closed but it looked like it would be well worth a stroll round - I would have liked to stay to browse the second hand bookshop (I tihnk it's called Books & Ink) but sadly did not have time.
Really good stay - I hope to return.

The hotel has a warm friendly atmosphere however there were issues with room 9, the heating wasn’t working and the electric sockets kept tripping out and eventually we had to move rooms late at night. There was no coffee in the second room and we had to raid room 9 for some coffee, good job we still had the key! We were attending a family funeral in the morning and specifically asked what time breakfast was. We were told 8.00 am and as we were due to leave for the funeral at 9 this seemed okay. However at 8 in the morning were told breakfast was not until 9. We ordered something simple. Scrambled egg and bacon butty as we did not want impose on the helpful staff that were in early. The staff did make every effort to help but it took the shine off the stay.
Not helpful when information given the night before was not accurate.

The hotel claimed not to have received the message I sent via Expedia in response to their question on when I would be checking in. I had asked for early check in for a wedding. The member of staff was quite rude when I explained I had messaged them with this request and was disappointed the room was not ready. I had to change in the pub toilets. When I explained that we would be back late from the wedding the key to my room was conveniently available. That aside the room was very nice and breakfast was great, although we could not get any water out of the shower the following morning which was disappointing for the price paid. The room faced the road and it was quite noisy from 7.00.

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.

Top notch

Really lovely hotel, well kept and clean. Was very pleasantly surprised to find a cafetière and ground coffee in my room, that’s a rare gem. The pub is very popular and I understand why, it has great food (lovely breakfast) and five star service.

My only note would be that some rooms are right by the outside pub garden so may have some noise but the room seemed to block out most of it. I was fine with noise levels but maybe check where the room is before booking if you need complete silence.

I can’t fault the place at all, was excellent.

However, my room had intermittent loud sounds from equipment all night long. I did not sleep. There is no air conditioning so on a hot night, the room is quite warm.

Best breakfast on our trip and a very comfortable room. We loved our stay and wish we’d have had more time in this area.

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

Overall good.

Very comfortable beds, clean room but couldnt get hot water in the shower. We didnt eat there but the restaurant was busy and the food looked good. Good breakfast selection.

Very good location, would stay again!

Fantastic venue, friendly, helpful staff, great lunch and breakfast. We paid for over night parking in a nearby carpark, there was a gate that led to the car park, so no drama! Lovely village, all round superb weekend.

Nice for a 1-night stopover.

Spacious room with a large bathroom. Bed was comfortable, as was the room - except heating seemed to be on a timer (ie didn’t come on until evening) and shower wouldn’t give any water in the morning until heating came on at about 8am, so had to wash at the basin! Pub food was good, though limited for children. Not sure if there was hotel parking, we parked in the street (which is 1-hour restriction from 8am-6pm, but we didn’t get ticketed! Friendly staff.
