My wife and I stayed here as we were attending a wedding at Rockbeare Manor and it's only 10-15 mins away. So glad we did.. the staff are all lovely, the pub is cosy, the accommodation fab and the food is amazing. Couldn't recommend this place enough, we only wished we'd stayed longer.

Lovely stay. Delightful pub.

Lovely stay at The Red Lion. The apartment was delightful and the perfect place to stay before a day in Exeter. The pub is very dog friendly and our 2 pups were made to feel very welcome. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious too. I would definitely stay again and recommend the Red Lion to everyone.

This hotel is in an ideal rural location, with nice walks nearby. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed the home-made biscuits with the good selection of in-room teas and coffee. The food here was delicious, and the staff are friendly, efficient and welcoming.

Lovely stop over en route to Cornwall. Historic and picturesque. Comfortable room and wonderfully looked after by Mandy & Millie in the bar at dinner and by Alison (?) who served as good a breakfast as I’ve had. A happy welcoming venue that provided great value and quality.
