Absolutely fantastic stay. We stayed one of two nights here. Had we realised how close we were to the places we wanted to explore we would have stayed here both nights. Definitely better than the second place we stayed by a mile. Staff very welcoming and helpful. We arrived late and not with much time before the kitchen closed but was able to check in, get our belongings to the room and still order food. Evening meal and breakfast fantastic. Room very nice, specious and comfortable. Really enjoyable and pleasant stay. Thank you.

We were pleasantly surprised by the location, next to a river and bridge. The hotel is well appointed with a welcoming staff. We had a front facing twin room which was spotlessly clean with a good selection of drinks and toiletries and comfortable. What really impressed us both was the staff member making sure to let them know if there was anything else we needed and specially John, the owner, coming over during our dinner, introducing himself and again making sure we were happy with everything. That is first class customer service!

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.
