"The Lion is a very nice place to stay in Waddesdon, with friendly staff, a nice breakfast, and comfo"

7.0

They were good sized rooms, and the staff were very friendly. The inclusive breakfast was very good, and served by a very cheerful and friendly staff member

When we returned to the hotel at around midnight, two of us wanted to unwind with a drink in the bar, as we had looked in, and there still seemed to be customers there. we were told (quite politely) that the bar had closed. As there were people in the bar, it did seem a bit unreasonable, as guests, that we couldn't get a last drink.
