Summary: Good parking, very friendly helpful staff. Room could do with an update, we were above the kitchen which was very noisy, hence we had to close the windows. This didn’t cut out very much noise and also made for a stuffy hot uncomfortable night.

Summary: Clean, comfortable and a super friendly welcome. Abundant parking. Lovely pub restaurant.

Summary: Apart from the brilliant bar/restaurant staff, this was probably the worst "hotel" I have ever stayed in - especially for the money. The food was barely edible, and the room (number 4) was beyond tired. The bed was uncomfortable, and the room was right next to some kind of air conditioning unit that was noisy and made sleep impossible!! The shower was hardly functioning (more of a dribble, than a shower)... Breakfast was overcooked and poor in the extreme. Not the sort of evening you need the night before a business meeting. Staff 5* Hotel 0*

Summary: The road noise was a serious issue for us, particularly as we had requested a quiet room. But the service at the hotel was mostly fine.

Summary: We didn't stay at the Red Lion since Expedia somehow didn't forward our reservation- which we didn't find out until we arrived and they were fully booked. But the hotel bent over backwards to find us a room in a nearby hotel about 10 minutes away and apologized profusely about the error (which was not their fault). 5 stars for their professionalism and customer service. Be warry of booking this hotel through this site though, the Red Lion indicated another potential guest had the same problem earlier this year.

Summary: We had a lovely few days stay last Bank Holiday, it is a charming pub with great staff, nothing is too much for them, very friendly and breakfast was Best! Delicious! My only suggestion would be to have at least brewed coffee! Beautiful place and very calm even though there is open bar downstairs.
