About The Lion Hotel

Rooms at The Lion Hotel come with en-suite bathrooms and in-room drinks, along with the usual comforts of a traditional hotel base rather than anything flashy. Family rooms are available for those travelling with children, and free WiFi runs throughout, so the setup suits both a quick overnight stop and a longer stay in the area.

Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving breakfast and meals, plus a garden and outdoor seating for when the weather allows. Reception operates around the clock, and pets are welcome, which makes The Lion a straightforward choice for guests travelling with a dog. The style throughout is traditional rather than contemporary, in keeping with its position on Buckden's High Street.

The village itself gives easy access to walking and cycling routes, along with golf and fishing nearby, and there are pubs and restaurants within reach for evenings out. Buckden's location also puts St Ives and Peterborough within striking distance for those wanting to explore further afield.

Guests mention this hotel offers delicious food, including Sunday roasts and gluten-free options, and features a beautiful traditional atmosphere with comfortable seating. They also highlight the friendly, attentive staff and the reasonable prices.

Some reviews mention the rooms can be poorly maintained.
