Most enjoyable
Situated in a beautiful village and on the banks of the River Elwy, the Black Lion Hotel couldn’t 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.

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.

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.

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 you’d 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. I’d stay again.

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.
