I would like to say how much my mother and I enjoyed our week with June 4th-10th.All the staff were very pleasant and helpful notably Sarah in the restaurant. I was particulary impressed with the meal I had on Monday evening, it was excellent, very much so considering the kitchen was also dealing with two coach parties.I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to friends, and will certainly consider coming again.Thanks again for being a part of a lovely holiday.S Chinchen.

A great 3 daysWe booked our stay in Criccieth very last minute, having meant to be in Malta for 3 days but being stranded by the volcanic ash!The Lion Hotel is very close to all the local pubs & restaurants, & also to the beach. We mostly ventured out, but the room had everything we needed & was in an anex off the main building which was nice. The staff were friendly, and we had a really nice stay.Mrs C Andrew. April 10

Firstly I would like to thank you for a wonderful time, the hotel & staff have been fantastic. But this is really a thank you to your waitresses and kitchen staff, I have recently been diagnosed with Coeliac disease, which means a gluten free diet and as I am only learning what I can & can't eat, they have been tremendously helpful and I have enjoyed good meals.P Smith.

Dear Sir,We Came to your hotel last weekend with Mystic Isle for a Turkey and Tinsel break. All of our party had a fantastic time.Your entire staff are to be commended for their efforts to make us welcome. They all went out of their way to be helpful and make the weekend a success.While we were there we noticed your flyer about Murder Mystery breaks. If you have any more information would you kindly email it to me.Once again thank you and your staff for a Great weekend.Thank you in antisipationE A Nicholls December 11
Dear Sir or Madam,I brought down a crowd of people to your murder mystery weekend Feb 10-12th February with Wombwell travel. We have been doing so for 6 out of the last 7 years. We tried somewhere different once but soon came back. We started with a dozen people at first and we have increased in numbers every year until we had 41 this year. Almost evry single person is wanting to return next year so we actually get a full coach.The reason that we keep returning is that apart from it being at just the right time, between Christamas and the start of Spring. Is that it is such a nice location and such a friednly hotel.The hotel has a very homely feel about it, the food is excellent and your staff are so friednly and gelpful. Woud you please pass on our thanks to all your staff. For the second year, we have had a 'big' birthday with one of our members and your reception has put up with me bombarding them with emails about cakes, balloons and seating arrangements and I am very grateful for their help.Thank you for helping make our break so much fun, and we will see you again next year.Barney Reeves February 12
