Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Lion Hotel

Attractive corner pub, also acting as the local hotel. It has a single opened-out bar, refurbished in quite a light semi-modern style, with the more traditional dining room down a few steps on the left-hand side. Two Glamorgan Brewing ales on handpump - Jemima's Pitchfork pale (£4.40) and Thunderbird IPA - together with a couple of their other beers among the keg taps.
