This is a favourite eatery. Always good food with an interesting menu. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The prices are fair and the presentation is up there with more expensive restaurants. We would always choose to go to 'The Golden'. More

Stayed whilst on business and had a really pleasant stay. Lovely clean, comfortable rooms and the added advantage of quality freshly cooked food in the inn. Good value and really switched on, friendly and efficient staff. What more could a weary traveller ask for? Locals happy to chat at the bar and this only enhanced the good vibe that surrounds...

By way of contrast to Llys Meddyg (50 yards down the road) the service at and quality of our dinner at the Golden Lion on 20th September 2011 were exemplary. Decent food, generous helpings, smiling and obliging service even though the dining room was extremely busy. And fairly priced too! Not our first visit, nor will it be our last. More

The accommodation is good although our room had a shower only and after a long day of walking we really missed not being able to soak in a hot bath. The food in the restaurant is great with no faults whatsoever but it was tarnished by the level of noise. We went on the bank holiday weekend so it was... More

We chose this hotel because it was advertised as dog-friendly (which it was) so it was a lovely surprise to find out how human-friendly it was. Nice rooms, lovely food, good beer, excellent location and extremely helpful staff. What more could you want? More
