Very pleasant stay
Charged for drinks we did not have (my fault for not checking the itemised bill - easily rectified), large cobwebs in the bathroom and shower tray desperately needs resealing to avoid further water damage. Room 7

Nice stay with very competent person in charge.
Recently under new management so has some minor teething challenges. The current interim manager was excellent but only temporary. If the full time one is half as good the hotel should be a success as it is quiet and charming. Note however the rooms are not for those with mobility issues (and frankly room 1 has so many tiny stairs it isn't for anyone!) We had room 5 which was fine (and is probably the one in the photo) We only had snacky things to eat but restaurant looked popular. Slightly off the M1 if you are travelling like we were but actually a pleasant break from the motorway mayhem. Decent continental breakfast was included and rate was excellent in comparison with others either side of motorway.

We often stay at The Red Lion. The staff are friendly and helpful . The rooms are always clean and the beds comfy . Breakfast is delicious with a lot of choice. It’s good to have the option of having lunch or the evening meal at the hotel.
