4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

We arrived with a baby and lots of gear... and it was great to have a really large room. The owners were very baby-friendly and we really appreciated that. They also allowed us to keep the parking space after we'd checked out - and we were very grateful for that. The bed was very comfortable; the television substantial; and there... More

My wife and I have just returned from Devon having spent three nights at Golden Lion House. We were allocated The Dartington which was like a living room and included a two seat sofa in front of a full size TV. It was a very good size, and tastfully furnished and one of the largest I have stayed in Judging... More

I stayed in the Golden lion House in August for 2 nights with my partner as we were attending a wedding in the nearby Lavender House Hotel. The B&b is right in the town and easy access to all amenities. Our room was huge and very nicely decorated. The breakfast that we had on both mornings was really nice and... More

First of all, thanks for the very kind comments - we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. For anyone considering staying here in future, these guests were in a room with an en suite bathroom featuring a free standing roll top bath. Try as we might, we haven't come up with a way of also incorporating a shower. However,... More

Over a period of years we have stopped off at the Golden Lion House on our way to visit our daughter. There has always been a good welcome, and having stayed in all the double rooms I can vouch for the good standard, and comfortable beds. More

We spent one night at the Golden Lion House recently and had a lovely stay. We would echo many of the nice reviews written previously. The house is lovely, with spacious, airy rooms and nice touches like fresh milk and nice toiletries. The owners were friendly, helpful and made us a fabulous breakfast. We would highly recommend this B+B to... More

We stayed for one night at the Golden Lion, and really enjoyed it. Our room was massive, comfortable and simply but well decorated. Brilliant breakfast and charming host. Would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting this pleasant town - all it needs is a good gastro-pub! More

- absolutely exemplary; the standard by which ALL hotels and bed and breakfasts should be judged (and I've been to many). A professional standard of hospitality throughout - immaculate bedroom, wonderful small (but important ) touches such as a selection of teas (including peppermint) and real milk in the room! Terrific breakfast with that rare luxury - scrambled eggs which... More

I recently did a wonderful cooking course in Ashburton and had the most fantastic few nights in the Golden Lion House B&B. I could not fault it - everything was perfect. Wonderful hosts, delicious breakfasts and a fantastic room - which was huge and extremely comfortable. Wonderful sofa and big bed - just what I needed after a long day... More
