Fabulous place to stay in a lovely little village
Pros:

The Pub was in a lovely little village with good private parking. Our room was fabulous, new and modern. Having a kettle with teabags, coffee and milk and treats was a lovely touch. Bed was extremely comfortable, bed linen and towels were lovely. Breakfast excellent and staff helpful and friendly. Will definitely be going back

Beautiful room in lovely pub
Pros:

Beautiful room in lovely pub in centre of town. The room was in a courtyard full of flowers. It was 2 storied with lounge with sofa bed downstairs and double bedroom and beautiful huge bathroom upstairs. Decor was plush and new. Lots of free snacks in room. The deputy manager greeted us in a very friendly way. We didn’t eat in the pub but it was full and looked very inviting.

Cons:

Nothing but maybe slightly pricey

We needed to spend two nights in the area, with our dog, and the Lion at Malpas was a near perfect experience
Pros:

Beautiful traditional old English pub, with modern hotel style accommodation in an annexe in the gardens. Dog welcoming, well appointed, great breakfast and gastropub meals

Cons:

Temperature control in our bathroom/bedroom

Pleasant stay in a friendly place
Pros:

Nice sized room, comfortable bed. Staff friendly. Food good

Cons:

I should have checked but I am getting too old to have a shower that requires me to step into a bath tub. Getting out scares me in case I trip and fall.

Wouldnt book again as too noisy and expensive for what it is. No fridge facility in the room
Cons:

Very noisy, other residents banging doors all hours of the night, there was a party in the pub on one evening until very late, then cars constantly revving up and down the road which is very close to the accommodation in the early hours of the morning, which is very unexpected in such a small village.
