Good location - staff pleasant. The pub was warm and quite busy for the weekend before Christmas.
The room was clean and the decor was nice.
Didn't realise the room was outside and not in the pub. The room had no central heating in December! Hot chocolate ran out the day we arrived. The bed was creaky and bouncy. We didn't use the shower and we left very early so we can't comment on whether it was working.

Excellent location for the purpose of our visit. The Red Lion has an attractive entrance and there was a cheerful welcome by staff.
Good location for evening meal and breakfast. The overnight accommodation was adequate. Especially significant it was quiet considering the pub location.
The shower was cool. I couldn't get the water hotter, (NB I HAD pulled the cord to ensure the power was on). The breakfast was served later than I had been advised (I'd understood it would be available from 8.30). In fact we couldn't have it before 9am. This created a problem in relation to my return travel arrangements using public transport.

Friendly Staff and Owners, excellent location, comfortable room. We did not eat at the place as we had pre booked other plans.
No Free Parking on site (2 hour maximum) but free 24 Hour parking around the corner so not bad at all.

It was clean and tidy and the food was very plentiful.
In my opinion you could not rightfully use the term 'deluxe' to describe the room as per the booking section. It was all very dated.

Convenient stopover on a cycling holiday.
Very clean bed linen.
Hostess friendly and helpful and we able to store our bikes in a small courtyard off the Main Street
It was a small room in an annexe behind pub with black & grey decor which made it feel dark & oppressive & the air flow into the room restrictive. The standard-size double bed seemed very small particularly as duvet was too heavy for summer use. The largish en-suite also seemed damp & dark plus the shower curtain was too short and the towels inadequate.

One of the best nights sleep I’ve had whilst travelling… extremely comfortable bed. Very friendly staff and made me dinner especially after the restaurant had closed.
It was noted in my confirmation and the description that breakfast was available, however, it seems this is due to text that the owner is unable to control and some auto generated text… would suggest that this is corrected as it is misleading.

In the middle of town. Seperate motel style rooms. Comfortable sized for couples
No fridge but did have a little cooler box that did cool small items nicely.

The room was sited across a court yard from the pub .So this was nice and quite
The room was comfortable with enough room for two .
The bathroom was en suite and a nice size .Shower was good with enough pressure
Food served which was well priced and very nice ,staff very helpful
Plenty of take aways and supermarkets within walking distance
luckily we didn't need to park as we left the vehicle on site which was within walking distance .
Parking limited to street or pay and display .But this may not be an issue to others .
There was a fan noise in our room apparently the fan for the basement. The first night it was an issue but I got use to it .
Suggest maybe some improved sound proofing

Good sleep good shower.
When I'd checked in and paid i was informed that the chef was off and evening meals were not available; and neither was breakfast. In the evening I went to meet friends in a nearby village but returned about nine to enjoy a couple of pints in the Red Lion ... Except it was closed!!! A neighbouring pub said they close at eight most nights. Parking is a bit tricky too. I was advised about free parking a few hundred yards away. Probably wouldn't stay again

It was close to a wedding reception we were going to. Value for money and in a nice little town. Staff were really friendly.
Bed was very soft for our personal choice.

Very disappointed with the room. Very outdated. Didn't have a blind it gets which meant we couldn't leave the curtains open when getting dressed. The wall clock ticked so loud it kept us awake. No hand towels in the bathroom and the extractor fan was so noisy and went on for ages making going to the toilet in the night difficult. Work going on outside the bedrooms as they are having a conservatory built. Didn't disturb us but looked like a rubbish dump. I felt it was very over priced for what it was. Paid less for a stay a few days later and the properties were chalk and cheese. Nothing of note in the area, we only stayed for one night as a stop over party was through a journey. I wouldn't have stayed another night. On a better note the staff were lovely as were the resident dogs.
