Historic and with Character but Uncomfortable

The Old White Lion is set in a historic building in central Howarth. It is full of old world charm and character. It does have its own parking spaces in an adjacent street but be careful not to park so that you will get boxed in by other guests. Our only disappointment was the mattress. It advertised as a double but in reality it was a small double. We are an average sized couple and lying side by side we were both at the mattress edges. Therefore, we barely slept. The evening meal in the restaurant was good and morning breakfast buffet was also very good with a cooked breakfast option. To finish on a high, the staff were welcoming, friendly and most helpful. They deserve a lot of credit.

A Warm Welcome

Amazing. Right from the start the staff were friendly, polite and welcoming. Food was delicious - we ate at the hotel for dinner - having the 'pigs' in blanket sharing starter and then both steak pies. Next morning - breakfast was great - although there was no 'bacon' for us - the server compensated by offering us additional sausages - so it wasn't too much of a disappointment.

It’s a friendly place but the mattresses are very hard and uncomfortable and the shower has zero water pressure. All a bit tired and dated sadly.

We parked easily and could keep the space all the next day too. I left a dress in the wardrobe and the staff put a note on my car so I was able to collect it. The dinner and breakfast were great and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely comfortable beds. Absolutely nothing to dislike at all.

The location of the property is very ideal and good. It is a short hop to the Bronte parsonage and Saint Michaels church. There are quite a number of quaint little shops, taverns and coffee and Tea houses nearby. The upkeep of the inn is poor. The carpets are old and musty . The food was not properly cooked. The breakfast milk was spoilt and sour and I ended up with an upset stomach after eating their lunch and dinner. The housekeeping standards are not upto the mark. When we pointed to the staff about the lack of housekeeping, the staff member Lucy was kind enough to clean up the room and give us bottles of apple juice and savouries as a token of appreciation. That was a nice gesture from their side.

Weekend away

We were greeted by Vicky and the reception desk and she was amazing, really helpful and as the day we were going it was very windy so we set off early. So we arrived early and Vicky let us check in early which was great. We booked for 3 nights with bed and breakfast, the breakfast was really good, and brilliant service too from the staff. The pub itself was like a tardis and well worth a look around. We didnt have chance to have any other meals in the pub but would recommend as we saw big portions of food coming out and looked amazing. Would recommend the stay at this lovely pub and also has a small carpark.
