Reviews
The lion Bob is no longer called the lion. It has been renamed The Milestone. There is a paid car park around the corner which is very cheap. 1 hour free, 40p for 2 hours 80p, for 3 hours. £1.20 for 4. Takes coins and card. Pub is a lovely little place, warm and cosy. Staff are helpful and friendly. This is worth a stop.
Food is exceptional, Yorkshire Pie is the best steak pie I’ve had! If you want a cozy pub, good beer and great food - this is the place.
Stopped for a night while on a camper tour of the north and wanted to have a treat for our last night.
Rooms: spotless and comfortable room with tea, coffee, telly and shower gel etc. Bed was cosy and the walk in shower was next level on the water pressure, much to our delight.
Breakfast was left outside the room before bed in a cute basket and consisted of fruit, porridge, fresh croissants, butter and jam. Enjoyed being able to eat at our leisure.
Pub: we arrived around 6pm exhausted from a day hiking and driving. Was pleased to see a nice varied and well priced menu. I had a big bowl of pasta which tasted lovely. Attentive owner and staff. Pub shut at 10pm but could take a drink to room if you wanted. We were knackered but could have easily sat down til wee small hours so definatley not a bad thing.
Parking: pub is on main busy road with small frontage. Free parking available up the road but we parked in the car park just behind that's very very cheap and free over night. You can pay online so no need to get up at 8am. Details on the side of the meter and would be about 90p from 8am to check out time or about 2 quid for the day if you want to explore locally.
Overall this is a great little inn with a personal homely feel. Amazing value for money and would def recommend for business, couples or friends.
It's also really dog friendly in the pub and rooms.
I've taken a star off location as it's a very busy road and our dog is old and blind so it was a bit challenging for the night time wee walk but this is obviously subjective.
Celebrated husband's 50th with friends and family here Saturday evening and everybody had a great time and commented how lovely the food was. The staff were amazing and very accommodating. So glad I chose the Lion for the celebrations
