About The Lion Hotel

The Lion Hotel has the look of an old-fashioned coaching inn, with a solid, traditional character that sits comfortably on Bridge Street in the heart of Belper. It's the kind of building that feels built for hospitality, with public rooms geared towards eating, drinking and gathering, and it also serves as a wedding venue and meeting space for those wanting somewhere with a bit of history to their occasion.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and family options are available, along with practical extras such as room service, drinks in room and packed lunches for those heading out for the day. Free WiFi is provided throughout, and breakfast is served each morning. Downstairs, the restaurant and bar are complemented by a garden and outdoor seating area, a pleasant spot to sit in fine weather.

The hotel is well placed for exploring Belper itself, with pubs, restaurants and entertainment all nearby, plus fishing available in the area for anglers. The Peak District lies within easy reach for anyone wanting to extend their stay into the surrounding countryside, and free on-site parking makes coming and going straightforward.
