红狮酒店

Small room, very basic. Shower ok, but door was broken, kept coming off rails. Toilet door wouldn't shut, and lock broken. Breakfast was ok, but could take quite a while, to come out, some days. Only bread option was sourdough, with a tough hard crust, a bit nerve-racking for people with false teeth / plates. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice bar, with plenty of choices. Ample parking.

The Red Lion is an old style country pub that served good quality evening meals and breakfast and is ideally situated to see the sights of the surrounding area.

Very friendly staff & convenient location for our visit to the tank museum. Accommodation was adequate for our needs for couple nights stay. Unfortunately after a busy weekend & arriving Monday and few items on the menu were not available, however what we had was fresh, tasty & served hot. The rooms were clean & nice big fluffy towels. Breakfast was as big or as small as you wanted. A large car park. Although our room faced the main road we were not disturbed by traffic noise. A very pleasant stay & would recommend staying here.

As a pub, the Red Lion is a typical Hall & Woodhouse inn offering lovely ales and decent food. However, our bathroom had evidence of the previous guest in the loo with blue cleaner fluid trying to hide it. The shower toiletries were empty. The room guide said breakfast started at 8am. When we went down it was in darkness. We found the chef in the kitchen who was very kind and apologetic and said he doesn't start till 8:30. We went back at 8:30 and was greeted by a surly waitress. The breakfast was very tasty though. So we understand that hospitality is suffering and staff retention is tricky. But when pubs get it right they are wonderful and when they get it wrong, this is what happens. Such a shame. Fine for a drink and food. Don't bother staying though.

Perfect location for visiting Lulworth Cove and Swanage.

On the morning of our check out there was a power cut and the shower flooded overnight leaving the bathroom smelling like sewage. This meant that we had no internet to find our way to durdle door, could not use the shower, didn’t get breakfast, and our electronic devices could not be charged. Whilst we appreciate power cuts are not in the control of the hotel, the staff’s reaction to the power cut and to the flooded shower tray was unhelpful. They simply stated these things happen and said another room’s bathroom was flooded. No discount was offered for the inconvenience or lost amenities or apology was given.

Breakfast had a limited selections but it was very nice. The room was clean and a comfy bed. Staff very friendly.

Great food and a clean and comfortable room. Would stay again!

Over all ok but bed sheets of fudon bed where not clean one other things where fine

The room was ok, telly in room was tiny. The bathroom was not that good noisy toilet shower was very weak

IT WAS OK BUT TWO NIGHTS WERE ENOUGH WOULD NOT STAY A WEEK THERE. FOOD GOOD. STAFF FREINDLY

My bedroom was slightly noisy over night, as it was adjacent to the kitchen with its freezers or other machines, working through the night. Really enjoyed my stay there, staff extremely helpful and building was very clean , inside and out . Would definitely stay again.

Room was clean. Personnel is absolutely superb! Very friendly service and great food. Absolutely fantastic stay and will come again.

I've stayed here multiple times and it is a gem. Located close to the Bovington Tank Museum it has cozy rooms and a wonderful pub with a solid menu, including being extremely good for people with food allergies. I have celiac disease and having several gluten free options (e.g., starters, entres, deserts, beer, etc) at a small hotel is unexpected. The staff is also extremely nice and helpful and even put together a gluten free tradiitoonal breakfast to go since my train left before they opened breakfast.

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.

Double room was clean and pleasant. Restaurant menu had lots of options and was served quickly and piping hot. Breakfast was lovely and my poached egg was perfectly cooked. Large parking area and gardens and the atmosphere in the bar in the evening was very pleasant. Quite isolated so not possible to walk anywhere in the evening. I was made very welcome by everyone.

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

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.

Lovely staff and great location for our activities. Price was great value, but reflective of the age and condition of the property. Included breakfast was good, and the lady serving breakfast on the 4th August was lovely. Thank you 😄

We had a great time, the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was good and the room perfect. We could highly recommend a stay at The Red Lion, you won't be disappointed.
