Black Lion

We stay at the black lion on the 4/5 th August, 2022. Our daughter had brought us a two night stay(voucher) , I spoke to John on the phone to book, he was very helpful. We were very impressed with the room which were very spacious and super clean.as was the pub, The food was excellent. Over all We would rate it excellent all round and will hope stay again very soon Thank you John and your team. Diane and Lew

Meal booked for 19hrs wait 10 minutes for drinks then over 1hr wait until food served. Drinks were off and they were simple fresh orange juice and lemonade.
Stake pie was cold. We thought we were going to have to order breakfast because the wait was that long.
This special birthday meal was very much spoiled by the service.

We visited here for food one evening whilst on holiday
My husband had the sirloin steak and rated it the best he has tasted .
I was equally as impressed with my food .
So much so on our way home we decided to make a it a last treat before traveling home .
Thank you for such wonderful food and service

We had a 3 night stay. Quiet village hotel/pub about 5 miles from Abergele. Ideal getaway. Lovely welcome upon arrival. The room was a good size, very clean, comfortable with a well-stocked beverage tray. The bathroom was a good size and had lovely toiletries provided.

The food was great, very generous portions and wholesome. Good cask ales (said my hubby).

Our host, John was very welcoming, friendly and his staff were excellent. We will definitely stay again!!

We came here for a pit stop and then back again for a meal. Really nice straightforward unpretentious yet delicious food. The beef chilli was actually really beefy, cooked the proper way with diced steak (rather than mince). My partner has a really nice tagine and the kids meals were done properly, really nice butchers sausages and chicken nuggets from proper chicken breast. The ice cream was also delicious. Most importantly the service and allergy awareness was really really good. The staff were really friendly and helpful. thank you and see you again soon

We were made very welcome by the friendly staff. The service and food was excellent. The room was very comfortable and surroundings very picturesque. Hoping to visit again.

We booked a table for our anniversary meal for 7:30 pm
We arrived 10 minutes early and were seated immediately
Our order was placed and we had our drinks quite quickly but!...
It took 40 mins for the starter to come which was nice to be fair ( goats cheese )
We then sat there waiting for our main no one came to say there was a delay we waited until 8.35 then we went to the bar to ask how much longer the lady behind the bar said won’t be long now so we waited !!
By this time the couple behind us complained about how slow the service was and the food was cold when it eventually arrived
Now the restaurant was quite busy when we arrived but by now most of them had left and we where still waiting for our mains !!!!
8.55 pm (1.35 minutes later ) we got up paid for our drink and starters and left !!!
Absolutely ridiculous/ awful service not as if it was packed no excuse for poor service too many other places to eat
We where hoping for a nice country pub to celebrate our anniversary
Needless to say we will not be recommending or returning!!!!😡😡😡

If you want a lovely peaceful place to stay in the lovely Welsh hills near the coast this could be the place for you.Your hosts John and Sandra go out of the way to make your stay memorable for all the right reasons with excellent food and the bedrooms are beautiful with everything you need for a comfortable stay.We will definitely stay here again in the future.
