The Lion at Leintwardine is a country inn with bars, a restaurant and rooms, set in the Herefordshire countryside overlooking the River Teme, a short distance from Ludlow. The gardens slope gently down to the riverbank with views of the Welsh Marches, a pleasant spot for a drink or meal. Inside, broadband is available in all bedrooms, with wireless access in the public ground-floor rooms, and free car parking is provided both behind and in front of the building. Families are welcome, with highchairs, cots, baby-changing facilities and a children's menu on offer. Staff have made efforts to ease ground-floor access for disabled guests, including wide entrances and separate disabled toilets. The area also offers nearby museums and a train station within a few miles for those exploring further afield.
