Lovely old pub with nice food and friendly staff
2.0 / 10.0
Room 1 was nice (room with bathtub) although some attention needed to cleaning as there were cobwebs and hoovering not the best as there were bits on the floor.
Worst part was breakfast service! I was told that breakfast opens at 8, I was downstairs at 8, the room was locked, lights off and no-one was there. At 0810 a girl drove into the carpark and was clearly running late, I asked her what’s happening about breakfast as I have to leave soon. She told me she wont be long, at 0820 she opened up the restaurant and I told her it was too late as I had to leave at 0830.
Terrible!! I called the manager who said he would investigate and give me a refund for breakfast - still had no feedback and no refund either.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food in the pub was lovely. The room was up a very steep, restricted height staircase which we didn’t expect. The bath is in the bedroom, with very poor water pressure so the shower attachment didn’t work.
4.0 / 10.0
Lovely pub with friendly staff. Room was delightful, although I wish I'd read the description better as didn't realise the bath meant no shower, also a bit of a climb if you want the kingsize bed. Bed was comfy and thankful for the bottles of water provided and great coffee bags.
Food in the evening was excellent, a few things weren't on the menu due to a delivery not arriving, but it didn't matter as what we had was delicious.
Only disappointing thing was the continental breakfast. Hard, cold mini croissant and mini pan au chocolat; grated cheddar, instead of gouda or an equivalent; garlic butter provided for my toast and jam! Asked for the manager to email me but have yet to hear from them.

I booked the hotel because it was close to my course location and had excellent food reviews. However, just after 5pm, as I finished my course and was looking forward to a meal, I received a call from the hotel informing me that the kitchen was closed due to staff shortages. This was highly disappointing since the main reason for choosing this hotel was its food.
Upon arrival, I was further disappointed to learn that no cooked breakfasts were available, only a newly introduced continental breakfast. Additionally, there were some unsettling occurrences in my room, which made me feel uncomfortable, leading me to leave for home that evening.
When I spoke with the manager, I felt ridiculed for my reason for leaving. As someone who has traveled the world for the past 20 years, I am not prone to leaving hotels for trivial reasons. This experience was highly unusual and unsettling.
I requested a refund based on my dissatisfaction with the food situation but was only offered a refund for the difference between a continental breakfast and a cooked breakfast. I was told that if I had booked my stay based on the food, I should have reserved a table in advance.
In this instance, the customer is not considered right, which is regrettable. I would not recommend this hotel.
3.0 / 10.0
The room was very nicely decorated, comfortable, and clean. I liked the little touches including a card, biscuits, and proper milk (even though I don’t drink it). The downside is that I didn’t sleep well as the doors downstairs were very noisy (banging shut and squeaking) at 6am in the morning.
I was really excited that the hotel price included a cooked breakfast and I was told when I checked in that breakfast was 8 - 10:30am. However when I went for breakfast I was told it didn’t start until 8:30 which is when the chef was due to arrive.
For that reason this hotel is not suitable for my business stays unfortunately.

Our room was lovely. Nicely decorated and thankfully a fan was provided as it was fairly warm. It was a little small but great for one night. The pub was nice with a great beer garden which looked out onto fields. The food was excellent. The service wasnt poor but could be improved...a smile would be nice and maybe a goodbye and have a safe journey. Other than that it was ideal for a night.

4.0 / 10.0
Lovely pub atmosphere and friendly staff. Good value for money.
A few things that could be improved is to oil the doors upstairs and down so they don’t make a dreadful noise ( mentioned this after last stay but still bad) .Ceiling lights in room corridors need the dead flies removed and please let’s go green and stop using the travel size shampoos etc.
Breakfast location much nicer now but would be nice to have some fresh strawberries / raspberries and yogurt on the continental breakfast.
Overall a great stay and look forward to returning and I appreciate the staff.

We had the most incredible weekend at The Red Lion. The staff is very friendly and attentive, their restaurant is 10/10, and the rooms are stunning. The village is very quiet and peaceful, with lovely little streets you can walk down on, but you truly won't need to go anywhere as they have everything you need at the hotel. If you can squeeze in a Sunday Roast, take full advantage of it.

Excellent place. The room was lovely, everything you would expect - comfy bed, fluffy towels, complimentary shampoo/conditioner. Stairs up to the room are narrow and steep so not for anyone who is unable to navigate that. The bath was amazing.
In room tv worked well, tea coffee and hot chocolate provided.
No fridge in room so only UHT milk, but that was expected.
Only negative was that the room was quite cold - the electric heater doesn't pump out much heat and it's a single glazed window.
However, for the price it was excellent.
Breakfast was a simple continental, nice coffee.

I stayed for 3 nights in the deluxe double room. The room was lovely with a roll top bath in the room.
The room was clean but the bottom of the bath has been chipped a lot presumably from the shower head bashing it. This didn't however take away from the experience. However the bed was really uncomfortable. It had a soft top but still managed to be lumpy and I felt like I was falling down a hole.
I stayed in the week so it was a continental breakfast which was good. However on the last morning there was no yoghurt which there had been on previous mornings. That wasnt a problem but there was also no butter and I coukdnt find anyone yo ask fir sone. I did however find some in a small fridge under the till.
Overall though I enjoyed my stay and these were just small things that I bring up so improvements can be made. I loved the decor throughtout and felt very relaxed.

We had a 1 night stay. Great little venue, very old and quirky hotel with bags of character, friendly and efficient staff. Nice big room and well laid out bathroom with good shower & nice complimentary toiletries. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and it was very busy, glad we had booked, food was super too. All in all a good end to a short break away from home.

This is a great and affordable place to visit. We arrived early and was greeted by very friendly staff. Inside the buliding is beautiful with interesting memorabila from the past. Peaceful, we had a lovely stroll around the village and visited the church.
The food is fantastic and the Beer is yummy.
A Must See and stay.
A special thanks to Tristan what a wonderful fella.

What a gem! Staff, bar, restaurant- everything ! - was fabulous. The only advice: there is no lift and the stairs are exceedingly steep so that could pose an issue for some folks.

A beautiful room, with quirky features and a roll top bath within the bedroom - really lovely. But the bed was a little too soft and maybe needs a new mattress, and though the bath was beautiful, it couldn’t be used as there was no plug!
