Very family friendly hotel
Staff are all so friendly and welcoming. Felt very well looked after. We had dinner and breakfast here, both were very good. The room was clean with lovely fluffy towels and a reasonable size for a family of 4. Only negatives was that the roast dinner was only available till 3.30pm.

Friendly staff, lovely stay
We were given a large family room which had plenty of space for the 4 of us. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the hotel and room were both very clean throughout , breakfast was very tasty and they were very accommodating to our requests. The shower in our room was not very powerful, but it was still good enough for all of us to have showers (3 of us have long thick hair)

The Red Lion is not only inviting, it’s friendly, convenient, cosy, the food is amazing, we had ribs which had been smoked & were delicious. Service is quick & efficient. Staff are super friendly & the owner is awesome. Friendly, helpful, great sense of humour, fantastic host & nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious with a large range of choices. We had cooked which again was fresh, very tasty & even got croissants to take away for our journey home. We only stayed one night but could have stayed a lot longer. The room was lovely with a big bed & a double sofa bed for our son. It was clean & had everything we needed & more. We will be back in the future & would highly recommend staying here ☺️

It's hard to know where to start but the owners and staff are a good place to start. Extremely friendly and personable, attentive without being overbearing and they make you feel comfortable immediately. The room was small, clean and the bed very comfortable with a lovely view of the countryside. The pub was extremely comfortable and welcoming and within minutes it felt like a place I would be at a couple nights a week if I lived locally. What was really unexpected was that for a small pub with rooms above was that they were extremely knowledgable about food allergies. I'm celiac (very much so) and I was going to miss the beer and food. Except I didn't, they have very good gluten free beer and do an excellent gluten free beer battered fish and chips (with the best chips I've had in years, crisp and fluffy inside) and an English breakfast. They were so careful on what was safe to serve and what not and I had no contamination issues at all. This was easily the best hotel experience I've had in at least two decades and it's not even close. I would vacation here again with my wife just to stay here.
