Guest Reviews

• Rudolf (9/5): ausgezeichnet -
• Apostolos (9/5): - Beautiful location, clean room, tasty breakfast and friendly staff.
• MikeyWest (8/5): - Location, Staff, Food were all very good 👍. Couldn't stay for the included breakfast due to an early start, but they offered to supply us both with a packup. The shower temperature did rather fluctuate but not enough to make a complaint.
• Amy (8/5): -
• Geoffrey (9/5): -
• Alastair William (8/5): - Good hosts, great breakfast, great location
• Lesley (9/5): -
• Joy (10/5): Brilliant enjoyed our stay and food was equally as good - Food excellent and room was as expected very good and friendly and helpful would recommend white lion for a place to stay if visiting the area This does not apply to this stay we enjoyed being there
• Dan (10/5): -
• Elizabeth (7/5): Nice place to stay - Lovely location - nice village setting Breakfast on a Sunday is 8.30 on wards - unfortunately we had to be somewhere else by then so missed breakfast - we did get some cornflakes in our room but not quite the same - no one’s fault just timing issues but be aware Sunday breakfast is no good if you have a slightly early start
• Roy (8/5): - The breakfast was very good, good quality ingredients used.

• Richard (10/5): Good location, easy parking, large room including a bath, amazing breakfast, AND good value too. - The quality and generosity of the breakfasts was a lovely treat. It was very nice too that the chef took the trouble to check on the guests satisfaction too. Please also give guests the opportunity to book the room that has not been occupied by dogs, I would have much preferred that.
• Jan (9/5): Lovely place to stay with nice garden snd fab staff. - Staff wonderful, breakfast was great, food excellent. The bed wasn’t comfortable and the room was too a bit hot for us. It was small, but otherwise comfortable and clean.

• Caroline (8/5): Comfy place to stay. - It was a lovely inn. Then team were friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfortable.
• Eric (9/5): Most enjoyable. - Great breakfast. Location good. Staff excellent and friendly. Food very good. Room on the road, so somewhat noisy from the early hours onward.
• Tony (9/5): -
• Kaye (10/5): -
• Julie (9/5): Great pub accomodation with lovely foiod. - Friendly service and staff, good location, dog friendly, food and accomodation offered. Not really a negative, but one to note, as is also a pub/restaurant on arrival on Friday evening took a while to check in, whilst standing in busy pub with luggage.
• Colin (10/5): Veyr pleasant and value for money. - Excellent value for money, friendly staff, clean/comfortable room. Nothing.
• Craig (9/5): -
• Phoebe (8/5): -
• Nick (9/5): -
• Antonio (10/5): perfect stay - perfect stay! the room was very clean and comfortable. dinner in the restaurant was fantastic, couldn't have asked for for more. I had to leave early morning so no breakfast but they were kind enough to leave me a packed lunch as well. I would definitely stay here again.
• Clare (8/5): Really lovely stay in a beautiful English village. Would definitely recommend - Lovely country pub in a quiet location. Room was spacious. Comfortable bed. We had dinner in the pub which was lovely. Breakfast also really good. Staff were all friendly and attentive Shower was either hot or cold but that is the only negative
• Dave (1/5): Zero score - Nothing The business was closed when we arrived. You check in at 2pm but everything closed until 5pm. It's a joke! So we are taking it further with booking.com and the bank to refund. Avoid this place folks.
• David (8/5): -
• sophie (8/5): - een typisch gezellig engels hotelletje, met een leuk lekker restaurantje ter plaatse. rustig gelegen en kraaknet. het ontbijt kan beter, er was geen keuze in een joghurtje, stukje fruit, een beetje kaas, een croissantje,.... hetgeen ze aanboden was toast en een eitje met zalm, en een bord met typisch engels ontbijt.
• David (9/5): This was a very enjoyable break with good food in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. - The breakfasts were very good with a good choice. Coffee was also very good and the atmosphere very friendly and relaxed. Our evening meal was of a high standard.
• Graham (8/5): Really nice staff and a very quiet and comfy overnight stop. - The location was very peaceful in a quiet village without much traffic. The room size was great with a good size wardrobe if it was needed. The bed was really comfortable with great pillows and bedding. TV on the wall was in a good place and had lots of channels. The bathroom is very big ... but the bath was very narrow which is odd. It has an electric power shower - which actually worked surprisingly well good news! Bring a battery power bank - there were no free mains sockets near the bed. Sadly, the restaurant was closed on Mondays which meant a drive out of the village into Oakham itself.
• Dawn (9/5): -
• Ian George (9/5): The perfect pub with rooms - great beer, great food and great service all at a decent price. - The accommodation, food and service were all excellent. The rooms a re little on the small side but that is a minor inconvenience when the service and welcome is so very good. We hope to visit again and would highly recommend people to stay here. Nothing, apart form the rooms being a little small.
• Eleonora (9/5): -

• Dawn (9/5): Fabulous country pub - We had such a lovely stay! Yolanda and Chris are truly exceptional hosts—kind, thoughtful, and not afraid to go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. Their wonderful team shares the same spirit of care and hospitality. The food was excellent, and our rooms were spotless, comfortable, and inviting. The atmosphere is cozy, friendly, and relaxed, with the genuine charm of a traditional village inn. Wonderful. Nothing, would absolutely stay again when in the area.
• Dawn (10/5): Cozy pub vibes - Arrived on a wet and windy day to a roaring long fire, a warm and welcoming ambience, truly excellent food and great service. We had a lovely overnight stay, a super breakfast and were well looked after throughout. Nothing, a wonderful spot I'd happily return to!

• Adrian (10/5): Friendly and great food - Friendly and great food
• Joanne (10/5): Excellent and would stay again - Very cosy and homely Nothing
• Graham (9/5): A little gem in the heart of Rutland - Much more about the people than the property. Chris and the team were lovely from start to finish…the food was great and the ambiance was wonderful. If you are looking for a B&B for a couple of nights then I couldn’t recommend the is enough
• Westwood (10/5): Autumn away day - Our second stay at the White Lion Inn and hopefully we'll be back for a third! Our room was exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was well cooked with plenty of choice and service with a smile. Evening meals were also amazing - thoroughly recommend the pork chop with black pudding crumb. Trying to think of something but failed miserably. Everything was great.

Totally recommend to anyone needing or tempted to stay in this area. nothing negative to say
• Floortje (7/5): - Prima, eenvoudige kamer. Erg goed ontbijt! Lag een gebruikte tissue onder het bed en kamers zijn heel erg gehorig. Wij hadden de pech dat er een evenement was in de pub, met zo’n harde muziek dat we eigenlijk geen gesprek konden voeren.
• Bernard (10/5): - All excelle

• Gwenda (10/5): -
• Sally (9/5): - Very comfortable rooms. Lovely to be provided with pack up as we left too early for breakfast one day The breakfast second day was great as was dinner. Good to have a dog friendly room Bigger towels would have been nice.
• Bloor (10/5): This pub with rooms was a really good find. - Very comfortable with a homely feel, the young lady who booked us on was friendly and helpful, she explained the layout of the bar, restaurant and showed us to a spacious and spotless room. Diner that evening was really tasty and breakfast the next morning was just as good. A very good overnight stay. I prefer a walk in shower
• Merle (10/5): - Une merveilleuse expérience : la region magnifique et cet "hôtel, pub, visite d'une cascade" unique en son genre. Le pub à lui tout seul mérite le détour. Très bonnes bieres et nourriture. L'étroitesse des chambres. Toutefois très mignonnes et confortables.
• Maria (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Oliver (10/5): Super für einen Kurzaufenthalt. Sehr schöne Gegend. Lecker leckeres Essen und gutes Bier. - Sehr nettes kleines Hotel in einem zauberhaften Ort. Super nettes Personal. Netter Pub. Leckeres Frühstück. Parkmöglichkeiten super auch für größere Autos. Die Matratzen waren landestypische, etwas weich. Sonst alles wunderbar.
