We stayed at the cottage, owned by the pub. Which was lovely, and I will review separately. However, The Lion, is one of best village pubs we’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is welcoming, friendly, homely, the staff and regulars are lovely, and make you feel as though you too live there. The food is delicious, made to order - best lasagne I’ve ever had as a meal. Pizzas are fantastic! All local produce, and beer and ciders are delicious and local. Dogs are welcome too, even our unpredictable and uncertain Whiskey boy was given a welcome fit for a king! Lovely, lovely, lovely place which I wished was my local!!!!!

The Best Village Pub (Ever)

A Lovely proper old fashioned family run pub with delicious home cooked food and a roaring fire. Would highly recommend a visit after a long day of exploring the beautiful Welsh countryside. A great place to warm yourself up after a day out and about.

Delicious home-cooked food

Lovely, cosy real country pub serving tasty home made cooked meals. It's everything we would have hoped for in a place like this. A perfect evening in front of an open log fire with our friends. It's a bit off the beaten track but it's worth the effort!

Great Food, Cosy Country pub

Popped in for food on a visit to North Wales
Both of us went for the Chicken and ham pie which  was amazing. 
Very friendly hosts and a warm welcome. There was a log fire lit, which we like. Nice pale ale finished the evening off. 
Couldn't fault it. Will visit again.  Paul & Toria ( Caerffili )

Great pub.

I’m not sure where the negative reviews have come from or if the pub has changed owners since they were written?
We had a lovely experience at the lion in. We stayed at the cottage next door literally about 20 steps away and visited the pub for dinner one night. The home made pizzas are delicious 🤤 the couple running the pub were both very friendly and chatty and even invited us back for the pub quiz the next day which unfortunately we could not make. The other customers were also super friendly.
They had a range of board games which we sat by the fire and played and it was lovely! We would definitely go back 😊

Perfect pub in a lovely little village!

A Cozy friendly pub.   Excellent home cooked  food.  Good  Vegetarian options.  (those with special dietary needs catered for) . Great options for a lighter lunch (soup and cakes)  or mix and match to have a yummy 3 course meal.   Real fire and friendly, helpful  hosts.   Looking forward to our next visit already !

Warm and friendly welcome and  great home cooked food.

We went last Saturday with David's sister and brother in law and were delighted! The building is as beautiful as ever but the welcome was so warm for us and our 2 dogs we felt like old friends. The food was home cooked and delicious, no problem making me a vegan pizza and coleslaw and the others really enjoyed their soups, quiche and sandwiches.

Lovely welcoming pub

I visited The Lion Inn with a couple of friends on the opening weekend and the new landlord was incredibly chatty and friendly and clearly enjoying his new venture. It's an idyllic setting, an oasis deep in the Welsh countryside. We'll definitely call in again. 

Great to see The Lion Inn open again

It’s been a couple of weeks since my family and I spent a week at The Lion Inn, Gwytherin. Even after this 2 week gap, I’m still very angry and disappointed about how this turned out, all due to the host. The Lion Inn itself is in a beautiful and peaceful location, the bedrooms were all good, and the bar/living area had real character. 

We spent most of our time out and about exploring what North Wales had to offer, and it was only on the first day, where upon our return to Gwytherin, things went down hill in regards to our experience with our ‘host’. Despite being told we had the entire place to ourselves (which is what we payed a substantial fee for), the host thought it was acceptable for people to come in without our knowledge. We only found out because a door that was previously locked had been left wide open. When we asked the host if someone had entered while we were out. Instead of just saying ‘oh yes, really sorry someone dropped a parcel off for me but didn’t lock the door, won’t happen again’, the host became very defensive, wouldn’t admit she had done anything wrong and that 3 different people would have access to the house at anytime. None of this was explained to us before the visit, and nor would it have been had we not found this open door. 

The rest of the week went on without any more issues regarding this situation. The stay was fairly pleasant, kitchen was a little dirty in places and lacking the equipment you’d expect from what is advertised as an ‘industrial kitchen’. Our review of the stay reflected our experience fairly honestly. This is where the honesty stopped however, as we now come to the hosts review of my family and I. 

In her review of us, the host thought it acceptable to claim that when her son in law entered the property on the first full day of our stay (private let, he shouldn’t have gone in anyway), he could smell cigarette smoke and ‘found evidence of smoking’ within the property. THIS IS A LIE. The six of us who were there have never smoked, let  alone inside a non smoking property. She then want on to make defamatory remarks about us all regarding the pandemic, such as we don’t wear masks(?) or use hand gel(?). Even if this was true (which it isn’t in the slightest), it bares no relevance to our stay and is just a spiteful, hateful comment aimed at my family because we didn’t write a glowing review.  

All in all, despite having a fantastic time in this beautiful part of the UK. I would absolutely NOT recommend The Lion Inn to anyone, especially if you value honesty and getting what you paid for.

Would not recommend staying here if you value privacy and honesty.

My daughter booked this as a surprise holiday for myself and my husband. We really loved the location and our first impressions of the accommodation was good. Bedrooms and living area were lovely. When we went to use the kitchen, we found quite a few of pots and pans dirty, which I cleaned,  and the floor was sticky and dirty too.

On our second day, we went out and on our return discovered that someone had been in. We were worried and contacted the owner who's response was "which door was opened" rather than "oh I'm sorry" Apparently she had a parcel that needed picking up so her son in law had been in. We were then a bit bemused when she asked why we wouldn't want someone looking in the property. We then just asked that if someone needed to come in then please just let us know as we weren't expecting it.

We then enjoyed the rest of our holiday.  On our return we gave feedback on Airbnb being honest but polite.  The owners response was to be extremely defamatory about my family stating we had smoked in the property, that we had refused her entry to her own home and said we weren't following covid guidelines. What unkind and untrue comments to make. I tried contacting her to discuss any issues but she refused to talk to me.
