Lion Hotel

I visited the Lion a few times when visiting Tudweiliog. It is the height of the season, I had no trouble parking & was made to feel at home right away. I had the coffee & cake deal (£5) yummy ! Also a beautifully presented chicken pie, which went above and beyond what I expect. The Sunday Carvery last Sunday 21.7.24 was exceptional, as I have experienced very similar in Aberdaron & this one has so much variety. Loved it & ate to much. The Staff in the lounge bar were so welcoming & friendly & this area is more touristy & caters for everyone. The Bar is traditional pub bar & Welsh is spoken, the staff are fine & there are games of Darts in the corner. A very good establishment who work very hard. Diolch.

Myself and a buddy stopped for a much needed drink whilst doing the Snowdonia 360 on Motorbikes. The atmosphere in the bar changed as we walked in (bear in mind he’s 50 and I’m 62 and we are decent and law abiding adults, not 1% and we were riding properly silenced “adventure” bikes) and the ‘locals’ stared at us. We waited for the Barman to finish serving the customer in front of us, when another local barfed in from behind us and ordered a Guinness in Welsh. He then proceeded to have a conversation with the barman, in Welsh, and we were totally ignored whilst he was served with a Whisky too. In the end we turned round and left, shocked by the way we were ignored and the Barstaff & locals were living up to the historical perception of the Welsh being so insular. In the end we stopped at LlanfairPG and the Penhros Arms and had a really refreshing drink and a wonderful conversation with the villagers who took the time to explain all about the village name and how to say it. Restored our faith in human nature.

An understandably busy and popular pub, we were greeted with a friendly welcome and the staff were lovely and helpful throughout our visit. Menu has plenty of choice with the classic pub food dishes you’d expect plus plenty of choice for the children. Sensibly priced meals and good-sized portions. Good choice of drinks at the bar including some lovely local Purple Moose beers. Can’t fault anything. Would happily go again and recommend to anyone staying in the area.

We have just got back from a few nights at the Lion, nothing bad to say about the place. Gill and all the staff were so friendly and attentive to our needs, rooms lovely and clean and a breakfast to die for. Evening meals lovely and very reasonable, warm pork scratchings available from the bar, what’s not too like.

We had an excellent stay here in room 4 on a wet& wild November night!. Staff were helpful and friendly our room was super cosy and comfortable &beautifully refurbished as is the rest of the hotel very tastefully done ,in Keeping with the age of the building. Tea and coffee, hairdryer, toiletries all supplied, feather duvet and pillows ,what more could we ask for?!.. oh, and a sea view once the sun came out Sunday morning!. Great full cooked breakfast, served by the lovely Jill. Fabulous place for a winter weekend break, surrounded by empty beaches& stunning coastal or hill walking routes. Matthew& Mari, and team have done a brilliant job!.

I used The Lion restaurant whilst staying locally in a caravan. It is a good, old-fashioned pub with a pleasant atmosphere. The menu has several reliable old favourites, nothing flash but something to please everyone. My friend and I chose the beef casserole which was served with new potatoes and peas. It was tasty and the portions were generous. At £10.00 it was also good value. The service was cheerful and friendly. The Lion doesn't do fine dining but if it's a good meal you are seeking.. this is the place.
