The pub was a usual Saturday night crowd and fun. Don’t go if you don’t want to sleep in a room above a bar but things were quiet by 11:30. Lovely spot

We had a lovely warm welcome, the red lion was very clean lots of beers & lager's to chose from.. The room was very clean, everything you needed was there plenty of tea and coffee on the plus side there was a mini fridge, king size bed all the toiletry you need.. the shower was a good size big shower head, made a real change not to have white towels we had a light grey made a huge difference.. The hosts were brilliant, didn’t need for anything. In the evening good entertainment in the pub, we went out local to have food at the priory cafe, which was excellent only a five minute walk away where we had, Sunday roast dinner with all the trimmings good size potions. Had a lovely walk around the castle, and surrounding area, everyone friendly.. the breakfast in the morning was excellent had plenty to choose from for starters toast cereal & yogurt and orange juice.. before having a full English very good portions, couldn’t eat it all.. and also had a pot of tea for two, a lot to have for breakfast included in the price.. free parking around the corner that was the old council parking, few yards from the red lion.. we will be differently coming back again..

Good value with modern rooms and nice pub

Couldn't really fault for the price paid. Modern and spotless. Good location for the town, and very friendly helpful staff. All good. Nice boozer too. Public parking around the corner - and its free! Downside is its often full during the day - better to wait until after 5pm if you can. There are plenty of other parking options around the town. All personal preference - but a later check out would have been nice; we are not 10am people!

Room was very clean, fresh so was shower room. Outside does not look much at all, the bar was noisy however so you got to the room that could be heard. Could have done with heating on in the night a little chilly Five Star Breakfast full english freshly cooked and plenty of food on it a very nice breakfast

Horrible night, after telling us the pub shuts at 11pm and they had nothing on that night, we got back around 10pm to pumping music with people screeching along, that was so loud it shook the whole room. We thought it would stop at 11, it didn’t, so thought 12 was fair, but no, they carried on until 2am this morning followed by feral party revellers shouting and screeching outside until about 4am. It was an awful experience, and we considered driving home at 2am. The room was ok, clean and the shower was nice, but the total inconsideration from the Red Lion for their guests was unbelievable. They need to decide if they are a nightclub or a guesthouse, because this clearly doesn’t work. Would not recommend this guesthouse unless you want to party all night, but if you just want to have peace to sleep, then don’t stay here.

Enjoyed my stay

I stayed at the Red Lion for 2 nights (Fri & Sat) in June. First, the pluses .... the pub is in an excellent position, a few mins walk from the town centre and the free car park is literally 2 mins walk away ... but very limited spaces so its a bit pot luck. I was greeted by a lovely young lady who showed me to my room ... I had room 1 which was really nice, large with a very nice bathroom and a small fridge which is always a bonus especially as it was very warm while I was there. I only had breakfast on one morning but it was lovely, cooked to order (same young lady, she is a gem) and very tasty. I have no complaints about my room or the service at all .... but .... the pub is obviously very popular and as they have a licence until 1am it was very loud ... although I did enjoy the music 😄. I was made aware of this when I booked so I cant really complain and it was worse because of the heat as I had to keep the windows open. Unfortunately this did impact my sleep but once the pub closed it was fine and the bed was super comfy. I would def stay again though and if you are planning on being out in the evenings it wont bother you that the pub is open until late. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would def stay again but maybe next time it will be when its a bit cooler and I can keep the window closed 😄

Extremely Loud Music and Unable to Sleep

I’ve never left a review for a hotel before, and I am never typically one to complain. For restaurants I have only ever left positive reviews, and for negative experiences I have remained silent. This is the first negative review I have ever posted. I just want that to provide context, so that you are able to understand that this review is here to prevent you from making the same mistake as I did. This review is honest and fair. To summarise and keep things short; the hotel was in a good location. The room was comfortable, and was good value for money if it had been their standard prices. However, I stayed during peak times, so you can expect prices to be higher. Staff were friendly on arrival, however were not present on checkout. I paid for breakfast to be included in my stay, and when asked what time it would be served, I was advised that the chef does not come in until the afternoon and there will be no breakfast. On top of this, there was music until midnight so loud I could hear every single lyric above my T.V. Reading other reviews, this music can carry on until the early hours of the morning and staff are unwilling to help. This was detrimental and the purpose of my stay was business and the reason I was away was to get up early the next day. I ever saw a review where a woman lived on the same street multiple doors down, and is kept up at night with this music. I am really disappointed with this visit and I want to warn others so that they can get sleep elsewhere.
