Lion Hotel Dulverton

The room we stayed in had not been cleaned for a considerable time plus was in desperate need of updating. To add to the problems, the wardrobe door was held shut by a chair and the bathroom door did not shut propertly. The housekeeping was lacking - the tea/coffee facilities were not replenished. This was unfortunate because the hotel is ideally positioned for visiting Exmoor. It was such a pity that the hotel did not come up to the standards that we found in ohers parts of the Moor.

The staff and owners were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I went with my elderly mother and we found the hotel to be clean and well looked after. I would definitely recommend coming for a stay, the cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious!

The welcome you receive is warming.and friendly. It is a family run hotel who can't do enough to make your stay an enjoyable one. Perfectly located in the centre of the village and great access to the rest of Exmoor, it is a great place to base your visit. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The rooms are comfortable and the food was excellent and great value in these hard times. Made some great friends both with the staff, and the locals who ate there. Would highly recommend and would book again and again.

A nice cosy hotel in Dulverton. Hosts were very attentive and chatty. They were so helpful with providing local directions for sightseeing in the area. The price was very fair and the breakfast and dining were wonderful! They have a varied menu for dining! The beds were comfortable and the room was kept clean. The bathroom looked freshly renovated and I had no issues with the shower.

This hotel was perfect for our needs. Stayed there is the past and again suited our requirements. Staff always friendly,helpful and accommodating (had to stay an extra night and they were really good in that last minute change). Excellent meals too.

Back to the lovely village of Dulverton and a stay at the Lion Hotel. has to be one of my favourite hotels, the staff, rooms, atmosphere and the food is always the best. I am looking forward to my next visit. Please thank all the staff and the chef for making it so special.

Very odd pace, has all you need, bed comfy, clean place but just feels quite strange being there, shower is awful, breakfast takes forever but once served pretty good. Needs a touch up, could be amazing but as it is I don't think I would recommend.

Recently stayed here with some friends, and it was an ‘experience’ to say the least! Dated bedroom decor, uncomfortable bed, peeling wood chip wall/ceiling paper, disgusting bathroom extractor fan, constant whirling of macerator toilet whilst showering, and awful, stained carpet are just a ‘few’ issues! Hot shower water took a good ten minutes to come through on my first morning, with the macerator constantly going at the same time too. On the second morning, the water was scoldingly hot and even turning down to 1 did nothing to calm the liquid lava dribbling out. It was one temperature, boiling hot and that was it! The dust and detritus in the bedroom was rather off putting too. And the carpet stains the worst I’d seen in any establishment I have stayed at. After eating at Woods on the first night, we thought we would have a nightcap back at the Hotel on our return at 10.30pm, but it was all locked up! We thought we’d get back early on our second night, but again it was locked up at 10pm. Breakfast was ok, although poached eggs were overcooked on both days. Percolator/American style coffee pot producing disappointing weak coffee. The large accumulation of fly cadavers on the windowsill was an added bonus, which remained throughout our two night stay. The hotel seriously needs investment, upgrading and a b****y good clean! Sorry Lion, but and I would not recommend anyone to stay here.
