Nice stay with staff who would bend over backwards to make stay comfortable!
Pros:

Friendly accommodating staff. Excellent food for a pub. More in keeping with a restaurant!

Cons:

Room was extremely hot. Fan provided but circulated warm air and issue exasperated by bedroom being above kitchen.

Pros:

Staff are extremely hospitable and the atmosphere is great. Staying in a pub is an experience not intended to match that of a large hotel, so people should consider this when making comparisons.

Cons:

My room had a kitchenette, but it is not a functional one. I had no need to cook, but some basic utensils and cleaning equipment might not be a bad idea.

Really loved it and would have no hesitation in booking again if we were in the area.
Pros:

The Lion was full of character and very comfortable. The staff were really welcoming.

Cons:

The bedroom was very warm due to the hot weather but the staff had anticipated this and provided a good fan.

Full of character
Pros:

Tredington is a small village outside of Shipston on stour. If you don't have a car, it is a bit far off anything. The Lion is a quirky inn and restaurant. All a bit falling apart but charming and full of character.
We took 2 rooms. Our suite had a comfy bed and very rough coach. It has amall windows and one of them is just above the restaurant chimminy so all the cooking odour gets into the room.
Some very nice touches of tea coffee and cookies in the room and plenty of milk available from the restaurant.


The restaurant and pub are amazing. Very good food, nice beer garden and cheerful stuff. Loved it.
Breakfast is a set continental.

So it's a mixture of a very quirky beatiful well kept English inn, exellent restaurant, ok rooms, which needs a bit more Tlc maybe and some adaptations, but still an enjoyable stay.

Cons:

We arrived during a heat wave. All small English places find it hard to cope with this. We had a small fan in the room but the bedding was not fit for the heat and a nice big fan would have been nice.
The other room had an uncomfy bed but other than that was good. Lached a fan though.
Shower was very erratic. Nice hot water and then freezing water. In the heat not so horrible but in cold days....

In the last day we saw another couple order an omlette in breakfast, and were sorry we didn't know we had the option to do so. We didn't mind paying if we only knew the option was available.

Wonderful weekend at The Lion
Pros:

My husband and I had a lovely weekend stay at The Lion. The location was the perfect hub to travel by car to different places. We even decided to walk into Shipston which took 40 minutes, and then a quick bus ride back (which stops outside).
Accommodation was lovely. Full of character, very clean, super comfortable and quiet.
Mark the owner was fantastic and made you feel at home :) All staff were so welcoming and friendly.
We ate here both nights during our stay, and the food was exceptional. We tried all the starters, beef pie, crab salad, teriyaki salmon and different desserts: treacle tart and sticky toffee pudding, which were yum!
Breakfast was also great with the options of fruit, granola, yogurt, croissants, bacon sandwich or eggs.
We would highly recommend The Lion and hope to visit again soon.
