The Red Lion

The room was clean but rather tired in decor. The staff were pleasant & efficient. Parking was free & was easily accessible. Although the breakfast menu was extensive, there was no marmalade available on the Saturday morning when we asked for it, and the sourdough toast was so hard it was impossible to bite into it! There were no cereals on offer. The cooked dishes on offer were numerous and when we ordered some on the Sunday morning (on soft muffins rather than soughdough toast), they were beautifully presented and delicious). We were V surprised to find that the cups in our room were SO small - not large enough for tea (probably only an espresso coffee) and they were not changed for clean ones for the 2nd morning! BAD POINT! We thought the dining room/bar area had been pleasantly decorated - it was cosy & appealing. It would have been preferable if we had been asked how we would have liked the duck breast to be cooked. My partner found that his was over-done. No extra fresh veg was offered. Only various potato dishes as extra sides.

Typical country pub, great room. Great sunday roast and also a superb breakfast with good service. Parking local to pub. Good facilities and WIFI available, TV on aerial, so not great, but not a problem with other media available.

Friendly staff, very comfortable accommodation and a fabulous breakfast.

All excellent

Nice cozy inn. Very comfortable

Excellent service and good. Great value for money.

Lovely room with comfy king size bed & roll top bath. Delicious breakfast & staff very friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Pleasant little pub with lots of character. Very little in the way of a welcome, just given a key and no further information. The room was very small and bed definitely not large enough for two. Wifi didn't work at all in my room which massively impacted my evening work plans. Not recommended for business travel. Very bright light outside my bedroom (the pub sign) so thicker curtains or blinds would have helped. Very annoying automatic light in bathroom that stays on for ages after you've used it - really irritating during the night.

Ozan, and all other staff members were excellent. Rooms are lovely, good choice of drinks, and welcoming atmosphere. Both breakfast and evening meals were superb. Well located to explore a lovely rural area with many nice villages and country walks.

Great hotel, friendly staff and great breakfast

Excellent location, service, staff, management and the young lady on breakfast called Ellie absolutely amazing perfect host pleasant smiling and super efficient. Room perfect clean breakfast excellent. Third visit now and shall be returning Thankyou so much.

Check-in was both accommodating, welcoming and efficient. Room compact but perfectly adequate for our requirements. Only negative is the Rain Shower: my wife had had her hair 'put up' and although a shower cap was provided it was difficult to get all the hair under without getting it wet or undoing the styling. A small hand-shower alongside the main shower would have been very useful. Cold water pressure in hand basin too high resulting in a soaking if put on full without thinking. Two very minor points that did not spoil our break. Didn't have dinner at the Hotel but breakfast was to die for. Great beer. Thankyou to all the team. Payment being taken our of our account without pre warning is definitely a No-No especially as it was in the name of the parent company, not Expedia or Hotel!

Had a really lovely stay here this weekend with my daughter. Fabulous room, fantastic food in the restaurant and super lovely staff. Will definitely be returning!!

Great pub, lovely village friendly staff. Ate in the restaurant and the food was really good and great value. Definitely would be back if needed to stay in the area

Amazing manager and team. Greeted warmly on arrival freindly and accommodating. Breakfast fist class, service excellent. We felt very relaxed in this superb friendly environment. Have already booked to go back. Would highly recommended.

Had a lovely stay for 2 nights at the Red Lion. The owners and the team and extremely friendly and helpful and added to the enjoyment of our stay. The breakfast each day was brilliant, with lots of choices to suit everyone. The room was nice and we all found the beds very comfortable. The location is in a really nice, peaceful and quaint little village, which is really nice to walk around and look at the historic buildings and lots of thatched roofed cottages.

I travel very frequently so don’t normally take the time to write reviews, but have to give special mention for The Red Lion. A lovely warm welcome, cracking food (pie was amazing, as was breakfast) and comfortable rooms. All in a beautiful old building and village with lots of character. Priced very reasonably too and good location off the M1. I’m sure I’ll be back to stay again soon. Thank you.

On arrival it seemed a nice country pub, however, on opening the door to room 1 I was confronted by a steep twisting staircase on which I had to sit to lock the door. Up in the room I found it to be clean and spacious but noted the ceiling sloping diagonally into the walls. In the toilet I banged my head when using the wash basin. The bath which was outside in the main room separated by a plastic panel, was a fashionable but totally impractical free standing type with a hand held shower. The sloping ceiling prevented anyone standing up to use the shower. The bed was comfortable but why oh why does anyone put cushions on a bed. They're just in the way and end up on the floor. I didn't use the restaurant but breakfast options were imaginative and very nice. If I had been staying for more than the 1 night I would have requested a change of room.

We expected more.

Amazingly large and typically quaint old coaching inn under new and energetic management. We stayed because of proximity to Althorp House. Stand out feature is the food at typical pub prices but far from typical. It was superb and makes it a destination in itself. Such a pleasant change to eat real home cooking and not some chilled and reheated offering. Full English breakfast included in room rate and also superb.
