The pub was very welcoming on arrival ,the room was spacious and at the front of the hotel.
The shower cubicle had mould around the tiles , this could easily be clleaned , the room was situated at the front was very noisy especially at 5.00am when the bin men are emptying the bins. The pub is centrally situated .
I would stay again but would ask for a room at the back.
Breakfast was lovely and plentiful

Generally the Golden lion was ok. The room we stayed in could have done with some improvement, a wardrobe, shelf in the bathroom and a general overhaul. The breakfast was good, no complaints. However there was a big negative. We stayed in the button suite, I cannot comment on the other rooms, but it wasn't a good experience. The reason for this is what occurs on a Friday and Saturday nights. Next door is a night club. The music starts at 2000 hrs and finishes at 0030 hrs. It was bad enough in the bedroom but going into the bathroom was something else. I thought I was actually in the club the noise was so loud. At 2300 hrs I rang downstairs and spoke to a member of staff who explained where the noise was coming from and that it used to be the case that it finished at 0200 hrs. Boy did I feel lucky. This was Friday/ Saturday ,so we decided we would leave Saturday as we couldn't stand another night of disturbed sleep and awful music. We had breakfast, spoke to the manager who apologized and took our leave. I must make clear that I do not hold the pub responsible for the night club or indeed the music, but things could be done to alleviate the issue . Either do not use that room on those nights or at least forewarn those unfortunates that are sleeping there the possible issues. . I am of course out of pocket and had a weekend away partly ruined.

The Golden Lion is ideally situated on the High Street with its own carpark at the rear with each space designated by the room name you're staying in. The staff, rooms and breakfast are excellent and the bar has a great choice of real ales. Other pubs and restaurants are nearby as are shops which are a mix of high street names and individual ones

The Golden Lion was absolutely wonderful and we will stay here again the next time I come to Bridgnorth to visit my musician friends. The room was surprisingly large and bathroom up to date for the historical age of the building. It was very relaxed, they served a lovely traditional UK breakfast and accommodated my gluten free needs as well as flexibility on our check in time due to a rehearsal I had to get to. The town of Bridgnorth is beautiful and the Golden Lion was right in the heart of high town with easy access and short walks to great restaurants, pubs, etc.

First of all the carpark is behind the accommodation, to get to it you have to drive up a lane which is a few doors away, you then come to very narrow one way system, we arrived in near darkness and found to quite tricky to find our way in and out, once parked no issue at all as you have your own parking space with your room name. The room itself is up a narrow staircase so no good for anyone with mobility issues. All staff were very welcoming and the room itself was lovely. We stayed in the button suite designed by Jay Blades, loved the clothes hanger. It is an old building so few creaks here and there. Breakfast is preordered night before (bring a pen)…very tasty sausages.
Would I stay here again?…definitely YES!
Thank you for a lovely stay x

Nice breakfast with a varied menu. Allocated parking very useful so no one else could use your space.
Problem with light in bathroom which fell off and bulb broke leaving glass in the sink. Managed to carefully clear it up.
Shower had a small shelf that was wobbly and items fell off.
Despite this would stay again and would definitely recommend.

We had one night here. Before we arrived we received an email from the hotel giving us good direction how to get there. When we arrived we were pleased to see that you get allocated a particular car park spot which is yours for your stay which was brilliant. The lady who checked us in was super friendly and showed us to our room which was clean and bright. Lovely touch if a bottle of water, biscuits, coffee machine and toiletries. We weee given a breakfast menu which we were requested to complete what we would like and pass to bar staff before 9pm. When we came down to breakfast it was already being prepared and was lovely hot and fresh. Our only negative was that the bed was really squeaky so every time I turned over or moved in bed it was quite loud but if that’s the only negative then it’s not bad. We would most definitely stay here again if in the area. The staff were very friendly. Thankyou for a pleasant stay.

We were allocated the Shropshire suite, which is plain with no designer features, but has an en-suite, and is accessed from outside. It's a 300 year old inn, so if you expect a BnB type experience rather than a hotel, you won't be disappointed. The breakfast was really good. The skylight needs a blind as the early morning light wakes you up at dawn. The fan in the en-suite also didn't work, perhaps explaining the black mould in the shower tiling. But it was otherwise clean, and perfectly located for a stay in the wonderful town of Bridgnorth.

Great Staff, shame about the noise from next door.

They stay was good, friendly happy staff and the room was better than expected. The only negative comment is the sound from the night club next door coming through the walls, especially the toilet, until 1am.
For the second night we used ear plugs, which improved the sleep.
It was good that we had our own parking bay allocated for the room.

This is a 300 year old property and as such had wonky floors it's in a traditional pub that's owned by a Black Country brewery, Holdens although other beers are stocked. Our room was quirky but clean and comfortable with a well appointed shower room including minimum toiletries. The breakfast is traditional but not extensive but perfectly adequate, there's no other meals available here but the pub is in the centre of this lovely Shropshire town that's full of restaurants to choose from. Please visit some of local attractions like the Bridgnorth funicular railway linking High and Low town and the Severn Valley Railway which unfortunately due to a land slip isn't currently running the whole of the 16 miles of heritage track to Kidderminster this is probably going to take some time to rectify but nevertheless the Bridgnorth station with it's fantastic pub on the platform, the Railwayman's Arms is still worth a visit and the cafe is still open and you can even take part in the steam train platform experience at a small cost, you could take fish and chips down from the town and eat them on the platform and enjoy a drink from the pub with them. Bridgnorth is a lovely town with a fantastic Saturday market, there's lots of quirky steps down from High town to Low town and then you can enjoy walking over the bridge on the way back up visit the Black Boy pub that's on a steep cobbled street back up to High town and all the other pubs including the Golden lion

Firstly we liked the property, its location, the room and a great breakfast served by friendly staff.
Our only issue was our room was next to a club playing loud music between 7 and 1, apparently on Fridays and Saturdays.
The owners are in dispute over this and were able to move us to a room away from the noise.
