This was a real find. A late decision to stay in the area led us to this real gem. The room was perfect - well decorated and all facilities provided but it is the restaurant that needs to be particularly commended. The food was amazing.

Stayed here for a weekend break and absolutely loved it. The room was extremely clean and homely. Would definitely recommend this hotel / pub and would definitely stay here again. The freshly made pizzas stole the show!

Would have liked a drink on Sunday night but pub closed at 9pm

We booked 1night stay on a Sunday, and booked dinner for 7.30, we enjoyed a drink in the afternoon in the garden, then found out the pub shuts from 4-6, would have been nice to have been told before trying to get another drink. We came down to the restaurant at about 6.30 to be told they had already run out of beef, also to order now before they run out anything else and ended up eating before 7.00, not the best experience although the room was spacious and comfortable.

The overall experience was good. Good is great and staff are lovely. However, the condition of the rooms was less than satisfactory. One of the booked rooms for our group had ripped, stained towels on offer for the bathroom… Another issue was with the shower in the couples room not having a way to only turn one shower head on, it just runs both at low pressure. The bathroom sink hot taps are almost unusable, being close to boiling. I very rarely leave poor reviews as I’m aware of their impact. But in all fairness and honesty, the Red Lion was actually the worst part of our weekend trip. The location was very close to our main event which was great, and once again, staff were lovely and food was decent quality, but I wouldn’t rebook the place.
