Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It's a great little hotel with a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful and the hotel welcomes dogs, which is a huge plus in their favour. The food is good, without being too fancy, and the breakfast was substantial.
Negative: Nothing really to say negatively about the Black Lion. It does not pretend to be nything that it isn't and it delivers good service at good value.
Summary: Will definitely go back.
