"My family and friends had the Sunday roast, we booked the table in advance as some of my family had been there before and suggested The Red Lion for their excellent service and delicious food."

“This is clearly a place with a deep sense of its own history, yet it doesn't shy away from modern comforts, evidenced by the updated rooms and exceptional shower pressure. It's the attentiveness of the staff, however, that truly elevates the experience, turning a comfortable stay into something genuinely welcoming. The generous portions and excellent value of the food, from a hearty breakfast to a standout Sunday roast, make a strong case for returning.”
