Reasonable place to stay,

Room was comfortable and decent size. Bathroom was very small and not having a stand up shower was not ideal.

Bonita, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I like that: - It’s near this neat old church, for starters. - it has a quaint old English world feel to it, something I’d hoped to experience while here in England for the 1st (& very likely, not my last) time - it has very good service from the workers. Next time, I’ll organize my tour of the university better & when I do, just guess where I’ll be staying ;)

4/10 Fair

Unhappy

Bed was comfortable. Shower in bath was laughable. I had to kneel to shower I am 5ft. No chance for husband as he over 6ft. Dust on shelves downstairs in eating and bar area cat roaming in restaurant jumping up on tables. Food needs to be looked at.
Joyce, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Poor

The building itself was interesting and nice grounds. Food was awful..at least three quarter's of an hour wait for v mediocre food for pm meal. We ate out the next night Breakfast...no bacon available. Scambled egg looked shocking. The 2 staff in the bar did their best but not enough folk in kitchen or bar. Would not recommend it

Happy stay at the Red Lion

Excellent food, comfy room and extremely helpful and friendly staff.
Anthony, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nobody there.

Nobody there... We received an email saying we should contact them if we thought coming in after 21h00. The same is said on the hotels.com app. We came in at 19h30. There was nobody to give us our room. Nobody answered the doorbell. Nobody answered the téléphone. We tried to contact someone to give us a room for 45 min, then, with no life signs from anyone, we switched hotel.

Lynn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and homely.

Lovely dated property that is very welcoming with friendly helpful staff. The bed was two beds put together but when you see the size of the corridors it explains why. We both slept really well and had no problems with it. Only criticism would be the bathroom. It was a bit tired and was showing signs of needing an upgrade. The pub is mainly directed to the food side of the business, which we couldn’t blame them, but was still a nice place for a pint or two. The food was excellent and well priced. We would definitely stay again.
