The Lion was transformed before opening its doors again to the public at the end of May 2014. With help from local authority funding the aim was to provide the town with a quality hotel venue for visitors to the local world heritage sites (e.g. Big Pit, Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway) as well as a place for locals to enjoy. It has succeeded. The restaurant is on a lower level but the upper level is also geared to take diners. The guest beer may sometimes be a house ale from Tomos a Lilford. Below street level is a Wellness Suite with sauna, massage chair, heated lounger, steam room etc. Note breakfast is served from 8-10am.
