Enjoyable night at the White Lion

We only spent one night at the White Lion, but had a very enjoyable stay. The room was spacious, clean and well looked after. The bathroom was modern with everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast was very tasty with quite a few choices, we also had dinner, which was just as good. It is in a quite location, which was just what we wanted.

Fantastic! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience all round - we checked in easily with a warm welcome from the staff. Our room was lovely, very clean, comfy bed and great decor. Little extras were provided too - the portable toothbrush & paste, shower cap and shaving kit, which was a lovely addition, especially if you've forgotten one of these. There was a coffee machine with a variety of teas, coffees and hot chocolate. USB socket as well as normal plug socket. Internet access was easy too. A useful folder in the room full of helpful information. The bar and restaurant were really nice too. Lovely decor and a good selection of food and drinks.

really pleased, very comfortable and staff were great. Food was very nice (especially the breakfast). Only slight issue is the room was quite cold but did eventually warm up with the air con unit. There was a note saying new windows are being put in though and it was -2 outside

Will definately return here. Very close to Blackgang chine. Very friendly staff. This was a family holiday with two cycling and the bikes were stored away safely and secure. Breakfast amazing. Highly recommend.

Excellent break.

Had a great stay.Room stocked with tea and coffee. Bed really comfy and room spotless. Ate in the restaurant every night with the produce used been local. The standard and quality was higher and was well priced. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices and set you up for the day. The staff team were brilliant and very accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

Thé room was excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly. However the organisation in the kitchen was poor with very long waits although the food when it arrived was very good. I felt sorry for the excellent front of house staff who were let down by the kitchen
Timothy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a lovely pub with a nice atmosphere and really good breakfast. The staff were all so nice to us and went the extra mile to help us in different ways, such as making up the sofa bed, and giving advice on walking routes. Our room had a bath as well as shower which was brilliant. It was spacious. The bathroom has a sloping floor which is a bit strange but not a problem.
Philippa, 1-night trip

Very comfortable - would stay again

Super friendly staff. Lovely room, very well prepared with all the facilities I'd want in a B&B room. Comfortable bed. The blinds in the room needed a bit of TLC... (they closed - which is the main thing!) Fabulous breakfast. Every choice you could ask for. Even my 14 year-old liked the outside play area.

Great place in the middle of nowhere

We were confused by the location as we expected it to be in the town of ventnor and it was actually in a tiny village 3.5 miles outside (still called ventnor). The place was lovely. Their restaurant, which looked lovely, was closed that evening. We walked for 20min to reach the buddle inn which was the only nearby place to get food other than a pizza place. Buses run about every 2 hours. We had an excellent night's sleep in a very comfortable unscented bed. The walk in shower and giant bath tub were in a luxurious bathroom. Full english breakfast was scrumptious.
BRUCE, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was lovely and clean the noise was bad. Family room right next to road windows old no soundproofing boy racers up and down road immediately outside room. Stair carpet needs. Good clean not good first impression. Didn’t know we had booked Expedia 24 hours before luckily had room clean and ready and available. Breakfast delicious had no brown sauce and only one mushroom would be nice to have another, other than that best breakfast ever cooked to perfection. Would stay again if they soundproof windows?
