Arrived at about 8.45pm after a flight back to the UK, and wanted to stop rather than drive all the way home. Super friendly welcome, still happy to serve dinner - it was lovely - comfy bed, piping hot show and super breakfast. Will definitely stay again when in the area.

Nice country pub with rooms in outbuildings. As it is a pub be prepared to evening noises coming from drinking customers especially in warm days. Convenient for having a pint or two with no driving back to the hotel. Very friendly staff and a proper breakfast. Clean all around and soft bed.

We received such a friendly welcome from the owners and all the staff we encountered were very friendly and the service was excellent. We never waited long for food or a drink at the bar with the landlords really keeping an eye on things. The room we had was very large and comfortable in a cottage just outside. Good choice of food which was served to perfection. We have stayed in many pubs over the years and this may have not been the poshest but was certainly one of the most welcoming. We felt very comfortable here

Lovely friendly service with great food. The accommodation was well presented and had everything needed hit the room was freezing cold and only a light blanket and sheet on the bed. Even once I worked out how to turn the radiator on the room was cold as was the bathroom.

Staying at Ye Olde Red Lion was a fun experience. It is probably the most unique place I've stayed with its blending of old, old and new and updated rooms. I would stay here again. We were in Arran Room which was very nice other than the mattress should be replaced. It is uncomfortable. The outside grounds need some cleaning and TLC, too. (There had just been a big storm/rain which might account for some of the mess and debris around the grounds.) Overall, an interesting stay with great breakfast and friendly staff.

Breakfast was fantastic. There rest of my experience was pretty poor. No heating. No wifi in the rooms. Bar shut at 8pm. No food. Not what you need after a 5 hour drive on a Sunday.

Hotel was not open from what I could see because of Covid restrictions, but I was not told in advance of this. I am also still owed a refund for this.

We booked two rooms, one for my wife and I and another for my wife's mother and husband for Friday and Saturday to attend Newbury Racecourse. On arrival late afternoon on the Friday we were greeted at the bar and shown to our rooms. We stayed in the thatched cottages which consisted of beautiful original beams and features which made it very idyllic. We had booked a table in the pub for that evening and enjoyed a really nice freshly cooked meal and stayed in to the evening. The pub itself was very busy with locals as well as people staying, so I would recommend booking a table in advance to be sure. We booked on the Friday for the Saturday night as well and that was accommodated ok, as it seemed slightly less busy on the Saturday. We ordered breakfast the previous evening and this was ready within minutes of the time we advised we would be in the following morning. We had a variety between us, the full English was plentiful a by all accounts delicious, I have to say that the salmon and egg on rounds was amazing. In terms of getting to Newbury and back this was only £20.00 by taxi, so with four of us, £5 each was well worth it, but I would recommend pre-booking if going to the races or another event you need to arrive by a certain time, as we booked a week in advance and some were already full. This pub really is worth a visit and in our opinion it was great value for money. The bar staff also need a mention as they were so polite and catered for anything you needed.
