Our room was lovely, well equipped and comfortable. The hospitality tray was very good as were the toiletries and towels. The paintwork was a little shabby around the windows, which were old but inkeeping with the age of the building. If we were in the area again, we would not hesitate to book again.

The Red Lion was "going under new ownership" upon our arrival. We were the first customers. The facility was historic and quaint. The food was good although it was obvious things were just getting going. I felt safe and it was nice to be in a lovely English village for the evening. Thank you David, for your conversation and consideration.

Nice stay with very competent person in charge.

Recently under new management so has some minor teething challenges. The current interim manager was excellent but only temporary. If the full time one is half as good the hotel should be a success as it is quiet and charming. Note however the rooms are not for those with mobility issues (and frankly room 1 has so many tiny stairs it isn't for anyone!) We had room 5 which was fine (and is probably the one in the photo) We only had snacky things to eat but restaurant looked popular. Slightly off the M1 if you are travelling like we were but actually a pleasant break from the motorway mayhem. Decent continental breakfast was included and rate was excellent in comparison with others either side of motorway.
