    The restaurant at the Lion and Fiddle is first rate and the staff is excellent, always ready to help. They were kind enough to forgive a day’s mistake on our booking. The room had everything we needed. We had a very pleasant stay.

    The room was tidy and comfortable, and the restaurant and bar noise was quiet after 9PM. Food in the restaurant was excellent, as was the breakfast. A lively spot for a drink and dinner. Parking was easy and plenty of spots when we stayed. Staff...

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable and for us the location was good. The pub is very popular and the Nepalese food excellent but vety little noise and no cooking smells spoil our rest.
