The White Lion Inn

Despite arriving late in the evening, I was made to feel welcome. The room was freshly redecorated, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was lovely too. Staff all very friendly. I was told by the taxi driver how amazing the food is, but didn't get a chance to stay for dinner, maybe next time!

A very pleasant stay. This is truly a country pub with a lovely atmosphere.  A wholesome breakfast was supplied by Will.We ate in the Restaraunt on the first night which was superb. Would recommend 😀

Wonderful country pub; ideal for visiting Stourhead.

Friendly and helpful service, great location and amazing breakfasts

Great pub and location. Room was fab with good sized bathroom and comfortable bed. The Guinness was great and evening meal and breakfast fantastic.Great staff as well, 10/10 and will stay again

The area is absolutely charming, surrounded by picturesque views and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. I was particularly impressed by my room; it was not only cozy but also thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that made my stay truly enjoyable. Each detail, from the plush bedding to the soft lighting, contributed to a sense of comfort that made it feel like a true home away from home.

A grade11 listed building with acres of old quirky charm.  Staff were all very friendly and helpful at this very busy time of year (Christmas lunches and dinners)  Many customers supported this inn which included a great local clientele. Log burners in bar area kept the place warm. Furnishings were all old and part of its charm is that nothing matches ! Dogs were welcome in the bar area and there is a friendly adopted cat ! Great breakfast with fresh ingredients. Landlord and staff made us very welcome  Ideal location in village setting , close to Penselwood and Stourhead House and Gardens bordering Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. Bedroom was also very old, quirky and comfortable.

Thanks for the extended check-in service for me

We have stayed at The White Lion a few times now and have always found it homely and comfortable with friendly outgoing staff.

Highly recommend

A popular local pub that was lively when we arrived for check in; noise from the bar can be heard in the room but we were out during the afternoon and enjoyed the evening in the restaurant and bar until closing so it did not disturb us. Evening meal and breakfast excellent, staff and pub cat very friendly! Ideal location for visiting Stourhead.

Friendly old inn with quirky charm

My husband and I stayed at the White Lion Inn for one night while en route to visit friends, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. Despite seeing some negative reviews prior to our stay, we found them completely unfounded.The pub is a stunning example of a place run by people who truly love what they do. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made us feel at home instantly. Booking through Expedia was straightforward, and the room rate was very reasonable.Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. After enjoying a couple of drinks in the beautifully decorated bar, we were shown upstairs to Room 2. The room was an absolute delight – a blend of antiques and upcycled furniture, brought together with exceptional design. The newly refurbished bathroom had everything we needed for our stay. The welcome tray in the bedroom was generously stocked with tea, coffee, milk, bottled water, cans of Coke, and a jar of homemade biscuits. There was even a Nespresso machine for freshly brewed coffee. Roman blinds blocked out the streetlights, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep.The room was cosy and warm, and dinner was simply outstanding. Both our starters and main courses were cooked to perfection, clearly prepared with care and love. The staff were attentive, friendly, and highly professional throughout. Breakfast the next morning was another highlight – freshly cooked full English, with coffee brewed at our table. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

This is a lovely old pub in a nice location. We only stayed one night but the food was very good, the staff friendly and everything was very clean. There were also nice touches with complementary coffee, tea, hot chocolate, bottled water and cola all provided in the room. The bathroom was also very nice with really nice shampoo, shower gel etc provided. The only negative bit for us was the noise in our room (number 2). It did feel as if we were actually in the bar though in fairness it was quiet from around 11 o clock. It would have been 5 stars but for that..

Lovely pub

The property is lovely and the interior is amazing and old. It was tastefully decorated and all the amenities were top notch. Everything in the room was perfect and well thought of. The staff were very friendly, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and happy. The price point is excellent too. My only concern was the wifi in room 1. There wasn’t any service but it didn’t take away from the entire experience. It’s a lovely place and I highly recommend it!

Great village pub with friendly staff and excellent service. Room was very comfortable with some very nice additions such as bottled water, soft drinks, tea, coffee and chocolate drink making facilities along with complimentary home made biscuits. Bathroom spacious with complimentary toiletries.Breakfast was included and of excellent quality.Stayed with our dog who was made welcome throughout our stay.

Beautiful Country Pub

A wonderful garden  - nice staff all around - Rooms with antique furnitures - tiny little things - beds are very comfortable - Menu with a delicious and big range for every needsCan recommend everything - also in times with bad whether to stay inside - quite place to relaxMany thanks for the perfect host

This is not a dedicated hotel, but rather a lively pub with rooms. While the room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized bathroom (with electric shower and tub), the sound insulation was poor, with a lot of noise coming up from the dining room immediately below. This wasn't a major problem the first two nights, as 11:00 closing time meant that things quietened down quickly. On our final night, however, something that sounded like a dog fight broke out immediately below us at nearly midnight and things weren't quiet until half past at the earliest.The food was good, all home made and freshly prepared, although the selection for breakfast was a little limited.Services was extremely friendly and accommodating at a very busy time.

Comfortable but somewhat noisy pub with rooms

Lovely stay in a beautiful room with great facilities - including nespresso machine and water in room. Shower was unpredictable in terms of temperature. We were asked to pick a time for breakfast for any time up until 09:30 and chose this time. On arriving at breakfast I was essentially made to feel like I was late, which wasn't great. Equally, no one was present for check out so I was forced to leave my keys at the bar (despite calling out for someone!).
