Family run B&B with rustic decor and spacious traditional rooms. My mum and I shared a twin and our friend had a single. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was a good size with a bath and shower. The dinner was very tasty, I recommend the Schnitzel. The cooked breakfast was also tasty, particularly the sausage. Fresh fruit, cereal and toast was also available. The host Pete is very helpful and accomodating. His mother and father do the cooking and serve the food and are also very friendly. We had a lovely quiet 1 night stay on a Thursday night and would recommend others stay too! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.

Our first impressions were just OK, to learn abruptly that there was no food available (apart from breakfast) the following day almost as our first greeting wasn't ideal. However, from that point on things improved and we were able to eat in the Lion on our first evening and I would say, if you do nothing else in Dulverton, make sure you have their Schnitzel and cucumber salad! The breakfasts by the way were generous and tasty, full English, but other options were also available. The hotel is an old building and I am glad I am not responsible for it's upkeep. It's age is obvious from how our room was, spacious but with some attention needed, the curtains and secondary glazing needed careful handling. The heating could best be described as idiosyncratic, the boiler could be heard and occasionally loud gurgles through the pipes and sometimes even some heat. I did hear that a plumber was already booked to have a look. In summary, if you want somewhere were everything is predictable and looks perfect, perhaps look elsewhere, on the other hand, if character and a limited menu, with generous helpings appeals to you - don't hesitate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you.

It is a traditional country pub hotel, with a very warm welcome and good food. I was travelling on my own and felt safe and looked after. The food is traditional with subtle spicing, very nice and great portions. The room was comfortable with all the facilities I needed it was also cleaned and smartened each day with fresh cups, tea and biscuit supplies without me asking. Dulverton is a pretty village town in the southern part of Exmoor, with great views and pretty walks. The Lion would make a great base for a stay in this area.

The Lion hotel is great overflow accommodation for guests attending weddings at the relatively near by Deers leap retreat. The Hotel is a pretty tradition country inn in the centreof the village of Dulverton. The German family who run the estabilishment arevery friendly, helpful and accommodating. Room number 11is great with a lovely little en-suit full bathroom and a fourposter bed. The breakfast service down in the dinning room was simple but nicely cooked and served. Would definitely stay here again if in need of accommodation in Dulverton.

Consistently delicious meals and very friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Cozy atmosphere in a nice traditional pub and hotel very fitting with Dulverton would recommend a visit to the Lion Hotel

Had a lovely stay, thanks to the very warm hospitality of the hosts. Food was lovely. The hotel itself is looking a little run down, with some rather dated decor, but it was perfectly comfortable. Price was very reasonable. Would happily stay there again.

Character hotel overlooking the town square. The service was friendly and the breakfast was very nicely prepared to order.

Great value, superb location, lovely staff and very good breakfast! Recommend for a family.

The lion Hotel is in a great position on Dulverton. With shops and pubs nearby. There is no parking for the hotel, but the public car park is just a minutes walk from the place. Make sure you let the hotel know if you need parking, and you can get it for a discounted price of £4 a day if you let them know in advance. When I visited in mid October, I was one of only 2 guests. It felt really quiet. The lady who greeted me was friendly and very helpful ( as well as giving Reg the dog lots of fuss and treats!). Breakfast was a good quality and was perfect for filling me up, ready for the day ahead. Room was a bit dated, but comfortable. Downside was a 15" tv. Overall, though, a good stay at a good price.

Wonderful hotel in Dulverton with friendly service and huge room. We cycled here on a freezing night in November when it was ultra quiet and had a warm welcome, a warm room and an absolutely outstanding vegan breakfast the next day.

Lovely old hotel and pub with friendly staff. Great setting in the centre of Dulverton. A selection of real ales at the bar. A family independent business. Very traditional. Highly recommended.

Very welcoming family-run hotel. Excellent brekfasts and dinners.

I have stayed before and not had good experience with no hot water or having to wait for water to come through, This time I had the best night sleep and had hot water which was not a let down. When I return I know the room to ask for, the breakfast was a lovely vegan option and cooked beautifully, thanks for being so tentative as always.
