“The Golden Lion Inn, nestled in the Clwydian Hills, strikes me as a particularly welcoming place, with hosts going above and beyond. I was impressed by the commitment to fresh, homemade meals-a refreshing change from typical pub fare. The community-focused pub atmosphere, complete with local ales and engaging quizzes, positions it as an ideal base for exploring Denbigh.”
