Golden Lion Hotel

Ideal location. Lovely old hotel. Good breakfast and helpful staff.

We have had many family meals at the Golden Lion and have always enjoyed the food and service. I am so disappointed by the experience we had tonight. We ordered loaded fries with macaroni which cost £13 !! I have never seen such a small portion of loaded fries. There was a handful of frozen skinny chips with a covering of macaroni. It was supposed to have bacon but it seemed to be missing. Asked for ketchup, not sure what it was but certainly not a quality product. The tables in the bar were covered in empty glasses the whole time we were there, I had to ask for our table to be cleared. The Golden Lion was always a reliable place to go where you could be assured of quality food and good service. They really need to up their game, this fell short of expectations.

I have stayed here with my wife 3 times and 2 visits were great so I was looking forward to to last Saturday, we were booked in went to the room, the heating wasn't working so I went to reception and given a convector heater and told the heating system was on a timer and would come on at 5pm,after being out for a meal an a few drinks we came back to the room only to find the room freezing so I went to reception and complained and asked for another room, no joy, asked for a refund no joy, was offered another portable heater so I walked away disgusted, when I awoke in the morning my wife had a sore throat due to the dry heat from heater, I went to use the shower and that was freezing cold as well totally fed up as we were looking forward to the break, I went to reception when checking out and there was nobody to complain to, really disappointed by the whole experience and would never recommend this place to anyone

We had another lovely stay at The GoldenLion, clean rooms tea/coffee facilities, breakfast very good variety, something for everyone and such friendly staff, hotel so central and reception staff always go above and beyond , see you all next time xx

We stayed as a couple on Hogmanay. The hotel was very busy . Clean spacious hotel with friendly staff . The bar is large and drinks are very reasonably priced . Thee was an event on that was fully booked and a great atmosphere in the hotel . Bedroom was clean , comfy bed and great view of Wallace memorial . Breakfast was £12:95 and typical standard hotel breakfast . We would stay again as hotel is good value for money and centrally located .
