Was an ok stay overall. Checking in experience was poor as kept waiting and then felt like I was interrupting the staff. No information about where to eat and was just told where my room was. Would have been nice to be taken there as hasn’t stayed before. Went to eat in the pub that night but table seating limited and people had tables reserved even though they weren’t there. Rooms were very nice and well spaced out so ordered food elsewhere. Might be worth considering an online check in for the rooms so there’s no need to interact with staff in future.

Comfortable stay in lovely village
Really generous size rooms. Great location in the middle of the village but with the rooms set back from the road so nice and quiet. Great dog friendly pub with good food and selection of drinks

Shame about the carpet.
Everything was very nice, we had everything we needed. Not sure if room not used for a while as a few cobwebs about but main let down was the state of the carpet in the room. A few patches of spillage and I think a small amount of sick on the carpet. Carpet wash wouldn’t go a miss.

decent stay
had a good stay at the red Lion, the rooms were comfy with everything you need. If we were being being picky i think the cleaning could have been better. parking is ok and the pub is really nice in a village with a few pubs and restaurants.

In need of a deep clean
Carpets and shower room would benefit from a deep clean and the cracks in the walls a fill and paint. Otherwise a decent room to stay in whilst visiting family.

Stayed for 3 nights, the room was pleasant, warm and quiet, I didn't eat in the pub itself as I felt the atmosphere a little unwelcoming, however they do offer a good range of real ales!

Smart and tidy room with polite staff
Very nice stay, really warm welcome from pub staff. Neat, tidy, fairly modern and well kept room. I arrived fairly late and was too tired to sit in the pub for a drink but I'd have really liked to sit and have a drink as it looked super interesting.
