Quirky but very acceptable. Some people wouldn't like some aspects but good for one night. Would stay again. No parking but street parking lets you park 3 hours before 8pm and after 8am. Unfortunately I misread the signs and parked on a disabled. An extra £35! ##### Anthony Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Angela Sep 26, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities We had room 5 at the front. Very noisy from taxi rank & general street noise. Cold as radiator not working and window wouldn't stay shut as restrictor fitted wrongly. Toilet reluctant to flush, towel rail disconnected from pipe, plug in sink ineffective, kettle too big to get under tap. Main room light dim, only one bedside light, not possible to read after dark. The restaurant isn't open in the evening. Staff were pleasant and helpful and did supply an electric heater after we complained about teh cold. ##### Angela Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Heath Aug 3, 2025 Checked in and the room only had one small bed which you won’t fit 2 6foot lads in. Booked a twin room but that’s the only room available so didn’t stay and had to find other arrangement. Not easy on a Saturday night. ##### Heath Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alison Jun 28, 2025 Liked: Staff & service The hotel is old and dates but we didn’t pay a lot for the room. Room was clean and tidy but old decor. Was going yo use bar but no one in there including bar staff so didn’t bother and no info on breakfast times, has to ask.

Central location handy for walking about town. Staff helpful, especially at breakfast which was filling. ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mark Aug 24, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Brook Red Lion is a lovely old building, dating back to the 1400s...lots of wooden beamscand original features. But.... Firstly, it's right on the main high street, so it was noisy. There is a nightclub almost directly opposite (Trilogy) with music load music until 2:00am on Friday night. The windows are single glazed, so it was loud in the room right through, with little chance of sleep. And expect church bells to wake you at 7:00am. Next....the property is historic and has"wow factor". But it needs some love...it needs updating. The bed was too soft, and the room felt unloved....not dirty, but not clean to modern standards. Then....the breakfast should be a lot better. It was served buffet style, but the cooked food was cold and overcooked (very dry fried eggs, for example, which were inedible). Overall...I'd love to be more positive but it's really difficult. For the money it should be a lot better. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy Mar 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location and great value.
