The Black Lion Hotel is situated in the centre of Ellesmere, Shropshire.  The Lion has a long history as a Coaching Inn, evidence of which still can be seen outside and in the car park.  It is very close to the Llangollen Ellesmere Canal and nearby a mere that is popular with regular visitors. 

 

The hotel offers a fantastic restaurant with a wide range of choice that is typically British.  If you are not hungry, you can relax in the front bar that dates back to the Tudor era.  There are also two snugs, one with an open fire that is very popular during the winter months.  There is plenty of seating and areas with privacy should you require it.  If you are looking for something more lively, there is a sports bar at the rear of the hotel screening live sports.

 

If the weather is good you can enjoy the fresh air with a wide choice of beverages in the large beer garden at the rear of the hotel.  The Lion is fully beamed with many existing features still present to see.  Upstairs there is a large function room and the hotel can accommodate up to fourteen adults.  There are seven letting rooms.  These are all en-suite and have king size beds.
