We're a retired couple and spent a week in a holiday flat in Loftus in September 2023. We visited the Golden Lion 3 times. The place is quite old-fashioned but the staff are all lovely, chatty and friendly (Betty even gave us a beer glass we'd admired!). The locals were chatty and pleasant, and the lager is excellent and VERY reasonably priced. We were particularly impressed at how the establishment obviously takes special care of the needs of a few elderly villagers who probably would not get out at all if it were not for their services. Altogether a great experience!

Landlord is an excellent, enthusiastic young man who always wears a smile on his face. A great pub for a great pint. A great trophy selection too. Charles Dickens apparently stayed here, and there's rumours of a Skeleton Prince, who roams the upper floors of the building.

Run down sad looking former hotel now only a pub not well maintained by current owner. Great potential though if it could be renovated to its former glory. Charles Dickens is reputed to have stayed here! Needs a new owner with some money to invest. Would make a fab Wetherspoons !

A nice quiet old-fashioned pub. It has recently made a big increase in the prices, making it the most expensive pub in town. No food (used to do toasted sandwiches, but stopped now).

Excellent listed building Charles Dickens once stated there 19th Century ambience as they insist on cash and mobiles tablets, laptops etc are banned. A blast from the past.
