The White Lion Inn

“Good breakfast”

“I chose this ancient Inn and lovely peaceful little village to escape the pressures of London for 4 days. The station is just 8 minutes stroll away. My room was part of what was an old bakery. My door led on to the pub garden and rear entrance to the Inn. The owners Chris and his wife Fanfan gave me a lovely welcome and it soon became apparent that we had a lot in common. Next door to the Inn is a general store/ post office / newsagent and a super made to order sandwich shop if you want a picnic. Chris cooked me a humdinger of a breakfast each morning. It was good to meet locals in the bar of an evening and drink a good variety of well-kept real ales. Their lovely restaurant serves up a menu of traditional pub meals with a few continental touches (the delightful Fanfan is french). Chris also recommended a walk to a beautiful lake suitable for this creaky 77 year old. They have coped very well with 'covid' regulations and all was very relaxed. Don't expect the Ritz. It isn't! The en-suite rooms are simple with 'period' furnishings and contained all I needed for a very enjoyable stay. Many thanks Chris and Fanfan. See you again sometime!”

“Great location for the airport, good food and atmosphere in the pub both in the evening and at breakfast. Staff were helpful, fun and friendly. Will definitely stay again when traveling again from Birmingham.”

“Good breakfast, clean and room was positively quirky in keeping with an older property”

“Good as a vegetarian my options were limited but to be fair I did not ask for a full english veggie option. I am sure if I had mentioned it they would have come up with an option.”
