The Lion Hotel

The food was fantastic, and felt very well looked after by the staff, in particular Reiss. :) would recommend. The breakfast was also great. There is also a nice canal just down the road, which I managed to make use of going for a run while working away.

We stayed for 4 nights in a King Superior room. Some things were good and some not so good. Access would be a problem if you struggled with mobility. It's an old building with narrow, steep staircases and feel quite unsafe. In fact, one of the steps feels as if it is about to give way. This is the middle of three treads as you go up to the first floor bedrooms.I'm glad that I'm not very heavy and pretty agile. Our bedroom on the first floor was over the toilets of the restaurant. The extractor fan below sounded like the throb of a engine on a cross channel ferry and vibrated the floor. What's more it keeps coming on and going off as people went to the loo. If you go to bed at about 10.30, as we do, this is a real problem. You may think that Brewood is probably a quiet village. However, there was a loud bar across the road with DJ at the weekend. We could hear the music in our room and people were raucous when leaving. The old single glazed windows gave no protection from the noise. We had breakfast on each of the four mornings. If you want a cooked breakfast there is a choice of 4/5 cooked alternatives. However, if you would prefer fruit, yoghurt, croissants, or anything else it is not available. Also, we had to wait an hour for breakfast to be served on Tuesday morning. The delay was due to a group of 6 non residents who came in for breakfast. When you book rooms you are advised to book tables for the restaurant. We didn't but it is essential to do this at weekends. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The staff that we met were not very helpful or engaging. They need training on how to be customer focused in recognition that they are in the hospitality business. We hope that our comments are helpful but we will not find out if changes are made as, on our next visit to the area, we will stay at another hotel.

Very welcoming atmosphere & staff. Lovely loft room which was clean & warm (it was snowing outside when we arrived) The room had everything we needed and was very spacious. A fantastic Staffordshire breakfast served by friendly staff. The hotel has a lovely restaurant serving a great variety of food

On the whole the hotel was very clean and cosy, and the lady on the night staff was very welcoming and pleasant ! The breakfast was very well prepared and tasty! for the price paid we did not expect to have instant coffee/satchets and to make our own, and not to have a further charge for a barista style coffee! We paid an extra £15 for a late checkout so we could relax before leaving only to be disturbed by a young man servicing the door locks of which we had no pre warning of ! Also the wifi was vitually none existent on the secong floor , these issues would of been raised but no one on the reception upon leaving

What an amazing welcoming hotel. Stayed with my partner for his birthday and nothing was too much trouble. He even got a birthday card from the hotel. The rooms are quiet, comfortable and the shower is brilliant. Breakfast is to die for. This is now going to be our breakaway hotel.

Stayed here for one night and overall a good experience. Room was small but perfectly adequate, decor rather tired but clean. Mattress too soft for us but that’s personal taste. Had evening meal in restaurant. Food and service excellent and downstairs has obviously been revamped very tastefully. Breakfast ok but no fresh coffee , instant make your own, same with tea, teabags and coffee sachets on cereal station. Just a few tweaks like this and side plates on the table would enhance the breakfast time. Food at breakfast was fine and a good choice of hot food. Brewood is a lovely little village, not much changed from when we used to live in the area 50 years ago. Good to walk round and down to the canal to walk off the evening meal!
