The Golden Lion Inn in Denbighshire

Great place to stay, run by lovely people.

Great friendly pub with fantastic views of the clwydians

So we called into this place after a long walk, purchased 3 drinks at the bar, this was halfway into a super strenuous walk. We thought we would support the local business. We took the drinks to the Garden, it was a lovely setting. Before we were about to depart, I thought I’d fuel up and eat my snack size toffee crisp (steep inclines ahead), only to be told by the landlady I couldn’t eat my chocolate on her car park, if I wanted to eat chocolate I should buy some from the bar. I would have had no issue with this, only the way in which I was spoken too was appalling. I mentioned it was a piece of chocolate, to a response of “I don’t care there is chocolate behind the bar. Now I could have been hypoglycaemic, thankfully I was not. Also whilst waiting at the Bar the landlady was heard slating a few tourists asking for Directions. “What part of right do they not bloody understand, Right at the milk Churn”. A group of Germans on Bikes probably wouldn’t understand. If approached different, I wouldn’t be writing this but this lady clearly doesn’t appreciate the £15 spent on a couple of drinks and doesn’t appreciate the visitors. If visiting, the beer is great but watch out for the Welsh dragon!

Proper pub. How it was in the last century and still is now thankfully.

We had a delicious family Sunday lunch for four at this pub today. The starters and main were freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Mains arrived hot with plenty of vegetables and gravy . Sadly we couldn’t fit in the homemade deserts . The owners were very friendly and coped amazingly well given the high volume of walk-ins they had . Highly recommended and we will definitely be back

After a lovely walk we ended up in "The Goldie" very welcoming and a lovely pint. Well worth a visit.

I loved staying here so piece full in the country I'll be 💯 going back there, lovely owners made you feel at home, lovely food,

Hidden gem of a pub. Great stop if our walking or on the bike.

Best beer in the Vale!! Very friendly!! Good food

Traditional Gem. Huge beer garden, look out for events / music events, real ale, parking, view of Moel Famau & Artur. Lovely welcoming hosts.

Great find when staying at a local glamping site. Lots of reading material and board/party games for groups to play. The two owners go above and beyond to make your visit that little bit better, even recommending me and my partner different walks we could do whilst local. Food was delicious and there was a large range of different meals despite being on a reduced menu. There's a large cosy beer garden in the back at the end of the car park. Card payments are accepted. The inn itself is decorated beautifully and has a unique layout. Definitely will be visiting here again if I'm in the area.

Great local pub. Super friendly.x

Great place for a pint while on the exploration trip across Clwydian range
