Small parties are welcome in the restaurant, while larger gatherings are easily catered for in the privacy of the hotel’s function room.

The general ambience of the hotel is reflected in the comfortable bar/lounge. The bar is bright and airy. Making it a great spot for a quiet drink or a snack with friends. The bar has a relaxed atmosphere and a comprehensive choice of beers, lagers, spirits and soft drinks. The spacious, flag-stoned courtyard offers the perfect setting for a drink on a warm summer evening and is easily accessible from the hotel’s reception and the car park.

The hotel has 14 comfortable, attractive and well-appointed rooms, including single, double and twin rooms. There is also a family room for young families with one double bed, one single bed and room for a travel cot.

Each room has a TV with Freeview digital channels.

The rooms are spacious and bright, with some overlooking the River Nene and others facing out onto the hotel’s flag-stoned courtyard.

The White Lion Hotel forms an integral part of the famous Wisbech Brinks. A series of Georgian buildings either side of and overlooking the River Nene. The beautifully preserved architecture of the Brinks has featured in many paintings and in period films and television programmes.

The hotel makes a great base from which to explore the attractions and landmarks of the surrounding area, such as the National Trust property, Peckover House and gardens, and the Thomas Clarkson memorial, erected in memory of the local man who played a major part in the abolition of slavery. Almost next door to the hotel is the former home of Octavia Hill, a founder member of the National Trust. A 2-minute walk in the opposite direction will take you into the town centre’s market place. There are markets on Thursdays and Saturdays. Wisbech’s town centre also boasts the library and Wisbech Museum. The beautifully preserved Georgian architecture of The Crescent is also worth a visit, as is Wisbech Castle. The castle was built in 1086 by William I. In later Tudor times, it became a notorious prison.
