   We booked for the party night in December and what a night. Brilliant service, great food and the DJ was fantastic. We are large group of ladies who love to dance and every year book this event for our Christmas celebration. It never fails to impress us with their outstanding work in making the night special. Highly recommend this place for all ages and celebrations.

   Christmas 2025, real shame, had a fairly decent Christmas meal, however after party extremely disappointed. I paid for a house DJ and disco. I didn't pay for a line dancing lesson. Pom fit Christmas party, took over, had DJ headphones on ran a fit class. There were other guests there celebrating birthdays, Christmas and putting 2025 behind them. Ignorant pom fit instructor allowed to take over. No room to dance. We are all entitled to party.

   We like love The Lion. The staff are just delightful. Nothing is too much trouble. Food is good. Unfortunately on this visit there was a wedding celebration taking place. The disco went on until 12 and it was deafening in room 19. Maybe ear protection could be provided. It was LOUD!!!! Maybe it would be good to inform guests at the time of booking and then they could make an informed decision about staying on disco nights.

   Only a one night stay . Staff extremely friendly and welcoming , nothing too much trouble . The pizzas were spot on , really enjoyed them . Continental breakfast more than enough would definitely recommend for a stay , ideally located to the town centre and other activities. Only slight fault , room needed a little bit of tlc but nothing major and certainly didn’t spoil our enjoyment. Would stay here again when we return to belper .

   We stayed 3 nights in the hotel which is in an ideal spot in Belper. We had continental breakfast, which was good, but we didn't dine in the restaurant. The bedroom had everything we needed but was a little tired. The communal areas were fine and there's plenty of space including a pleasant beer garden to enjoy food and drink. The bar has a good vibe and the staff were excellent.

   Extremely comfortable, and hot buffet food catered for a large group was very good, hot and tasty. Manager and staff very courteous and helpful. We came to the hotel for a wake after a funeral. Outside the weather was snowing, but inside it was lovely and warm. Very clean and well furnished. Would recommend.

   Absolutely superb food and service on Friday night. The restaurant was very busy but our table was in a nice quieter corner. All three courses were really good, brought out reasonably quickly and with staff regularly checking everything was fine. Would definitely go again and recommend.

   A lovely place to unwind. Great food and lots of gluten free options, including delicious pizzas freshly made. Some good guest ales and friendly service. Popular and a good base to explore Belper. Has a great sheltered courtyard in the Summer months. Enjoy. M

   Comfy traditional pub (& hotel) in the centre of Belper, a small town with an "alarmingly" high number of good pubs. This is one of them. Comfy decor, family atmosphere, solid pub food, plus a (limited) selection of cask ales. Moderate prices, friendly staff, convenient location, about a 3 minute walk eg to Belper Bus Garage. Recommended.
