Guest Reviews
- Anita (8/5): - We loved this hotel, in the lovely quaint village of Llanfair, less than 10 min drive from Aberegele High St. Staff were fantastic, and we had an evening meal and breakfast, which were both delicious. The bed was super comfy. Loved the local walks highlighted in the book in the room. Only downside was that there was a bit of a smell in the room, and mould round side of bath. But it didnt put us off, would definately book again š.
- Carys (10/5): - I always enjoy my stay at The Black Lion; the rooms are comfortable and spacious, it has a good pub restaurant and is friendly and welcoming.
- Dorota (10/5): - everything was perfect food staff room location
- J K (8/5): Well maintained, quite place - delivered on comfort, convenience, and calm. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a spotless, quiet retreat with topānotch amenities and a breakfast thatās worth getting up for.
- D (8/5): Excellent - Very comfortable rooms and friendly, helpful staff. The food was excellent and probably the best hotel breakfast we've ever had! Beautiful setting but unfortunately for the hotel and village, the nearby farmers chose to muck spread on the hottest days of the year! This meant that sitting outside next to the river in the sunshine personally wasn't an option for us. Highly recommend and hope to be able to visit again.
- stuart (8/5): Black Lion - Nice food, quite room and a nice location
- Kieran (10/5): - WHAT A FIND!!!! A real gem After being let down with our original booking, we found the Black Lion Hotel. It's set in a small, quiet village near the river. We had a superb evening meal, the pub was busy in both the bar and restaurant area all evening, which is always a good sign.... the food was superb, service was excellent The room we stayed in was quiet, clean, the bathroom was a good size, the bed was comfy. The breakfast in the morning was superb quality made from local produce. One of the owners Rachel, sat and chatted with us after breakfast about the local area and the pub itself, which was really nice as she were preparing for a very busy Father's Day carvery afternoon and evening Its definitely a place we will return too stay and also to eat... I would recommend highly to anyone
- Susan (10/5): wonderful stay at the Black Lion Hotel - the hotel was perfect for our short stay visiting family. the staff were very helpful, the room set out very nice and clean with all little extras of tea coffee biscuits also toiletries and reading material the breakfast was very nice and plenty of choice. thank you

- Philip (10/5): - Very pleasant stay ,attentive staff good food and ales
- Nicola rose (10/5): Lovely hotel - lovely staff - Lovely hotel, restaurant and bar. Staff all really nice and helpful. Room clean, comfortable and great pillows ā¤ļø.
- Kevin (10/5): Excellent accommodation - We stayed for 4 nights at the Black Lion. The room was spacious and comfortable. If you wanted every day cleaning, then you would probably have to ask. For us, we found that ok. It is a very busy place and popular. The bed was comfortable. The shower is in the bath, which for me was a bit awkward, as I am in my 80s. The food was really good, breakfast and evening meals really tasty and filling. The hosts and all the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Absolutely recommended.
- Judith (10/5): - Very welcoming hosts - nothing too much trouble. Breakfast choices were amazing. Lovely friendly and comfortable atmosphere.
- Kevin (10/5): - Quite simply perfect. Iām looking forward to returning for another stay next month.
- Marija (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay at the a Black Lion with out 3yo girl. The service was amazing and the place is absolutely romantic.
- john (10/5): Highly recommended - Beautiful location. We were made to feel welcome. Lovely room and very nicely cooked breakfast. Overall we felt it was excellent value for money and a memorable place to stay.
- Paul (10/5): - Excellent!
- Vincent Michael (10/5): - The property was old but lovely. The room was excellent , the food good and I wished I had booked a longer stay, To be greeted by the owner and staff was very pleasant.
- Angela (10/5): - John and the staff very friendly, room comfortable. Food was excellent
- Nicola (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic stay. We stayed one of two nights here. Had we realised how close we were to the places we wanted to explore we would have stayed here both nights. Definitely better than the second place we stayed by a mile. Staff very welcoming and helpful. We arrived late and not with much time before the kitchen closed but was able to check in, get our belongings to the room and still order food. Evening meal and breakfast fantastic. Room very nice, specious and comfortable. Really enjoyable and pleasant stay. Thank you.
- John (10/5): - Had an excellent stay here. Room was good, food was superb including breakfast,free car park. Owner John made you feel very welcome. Would recommended especially if you are visiting anywhere in Snowdonia or North Wales coast.
- Paul (6/5): - The bed was not very comfortable and poor breakfast choices, but the staff were friendly and polite.
- Dorothy (10/5): - We were pleasantly surprised by the location, next to a river and bridge. The hotel is well appointed with a welcoming staff. We had a front facing twin room which was spotlessly clean with a good selection of drinks and toiletries and comfortable. What really impressed us both was the staff member making sure to let them know if there was anything else we needed and specially John, the owner, coming over during our dinner, introducing himself and again making sure we were happy with everything. That is first class customer service!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Big, comfortable bed, Lovely breakfast, Great owners, Great location
- Verified traveler (10/5): Country Pub , - We really enjoyed our stay at the Black Lion,friendly people,very Clean ,comfortable bed , and excellent food, would certainly recommend,
- Amanda (10/5): - Faultless , lovely staff great food looking forward to a return visit
- Alexander (8/5): Most enjoyable - Situated in a beautiful village and on the banks of the River Elwy, the Black Lion Hotel couldnāt be in a more tranquil setting. After an excellent welcome, I was a shown to my very large room with first class amenities. My only grumble would be that the mattress was probably in need of changing but so nice to have fluffy pillows! Before dinner, I became engaged in good old fashioned pub conversation with some locals. Dinner was nicely presented and extremely hot (no complaints there!). The litmus test is: would I return. In the case of the. Back Lion Hotel the answer would be yes.
- Stephen (10/5): - Excellent room & food
- Kevin (10/5): - Lovely setting by river Elwy. Made to feel very welcome by the staff. Nice big clean room. King bed and a good nights sleep. Breakfast was well prepared and unrushed. Would recommend Black Lion and would certainly stay again.
- Mel (10/5): Great stay! - Great flying visit. We arrived and had dinner which was lovely - great quality and price very reasonable! Rooms are lovely and clean, comfy bed & everything you need. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, shout out to John who was extremely accommodating when it came to our breakfast as we were leaving early the day of check out! Thank you āŗļø

- VALERIE (10/5): - This hotel room was the best appointed one I have stayed in. Really careful consideration had gone into what you may need to make your stay more comfortable & it was. Excellent mirrors, hot water bottle, toiletries, storage and more. Very friendly service, great food, wonderful vegetarian option. Ample car parking. Lovely village to walk around & a pretty church to visit.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The bar and restaurant was fine staff good . Food nice. But go to rooms on an another level the smell hits you as soon as you are on corridor It smelt like insect spray but on everything and bedding . We would not have stayed but had are friends with us and they had been told to go. Donāt know how the other reviews said nice And who has a hot water bottle in bedroom.
- Raymond (10/5): - Good all round.
- Josie (8/5): - Travelling alone can be hit-or-miss. I was made very welcome by each member of staff and helped with my luggage. My room was fine: everything youād expect, plus a nice touch: a hot water bottle, which I was glad of. Very nice en-suite bathroom with a generous range of shower and hair products. High points were the dinner: above average pub grub, the vegetarian breakfast and the happy staff team. Low point was a strange smell upstairs, like burnt carpet. Iād stay again.
- J (10/5): A real gem. - Arrived around 18.00, car park very busy but managed to find a space. Received a very friendly welcome and shown to our room. Our room was very spacious and well equiped. Breakfast was delicious. We had a lovely stay, slept well and would look to return.
