good feel to the place and excellent staff room was large and very comfortable food and drink very good i will use again if in the area

was taken to the room and it had not been cleaned. the lady was very apologetic and insisted that I have a free drink in the bar whilst the room was cleaned. this was something that did not affect my stay but others it may have done check out is by 10am which again was not a problem for me as I needed to be gone by 8am but others might find this a little early especially at the weekend

Staff were so welcoming. So sorry didn't get their names but the lady who greeted us and showed us our room and the lady on the bar were so friendly and helpful. Room was small but had absolutely everything we needed for an overnight stay. Pub food was fabulous. 10% off for residents. Great atmosphere. Obviously loved by locals. Would definitely stay again and can thoroughly recommend.

En-suite little cramped but can't say I didn't like it. It was very adequate for our overnight stay.

We broke our journey home from holiday at this pub. It is located in a small village but very close to Rugby and road links and has a large car park. The evening meal was good. The staff very friendly and very helpful. The bar was frequented by the locals which is always nice to chat with them. As they only have 4 rooms they do not do breakfast but recommended a cafe a few miles away. The rooms were comfortable and quiet at night - we had one at the back.

The bathroom with our room was tiny and needed a bit of a deep clean as some mold was forming in some corners.

The location was central for where we were visiting.We were greeted when we arrived by Zoe who asked Alastair ,to help us with our luggage and showed us to our room. They asked us if we would like to book a table for tonight. The menu had plenty of choice, great food. Our room was comfortable and clean. The Red Lion team made our stay enjoyable,nothing too much trouble. It was like home from home,.We were greeted by the customers,who made us welcome.

Road noise at times

Room was as described with good water pressure in the shower. The garden looked really well looked after and would be a great spot in the summer. Staff were Really warm & welcoming & couldn’t be more helpful if they tried. We booked a table for food and drinks and everything was 10/10 we had the tapas and every single item was fresh & hot. I’m quite critical usually 😂 but I honestly had zero negative feedback. I wanted a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu and the staff went out of their way to look up the ingredients and made it. There was a genuine sense of community in this place. Great atmosphere & I’d happily visit again. Thanks for having us x

The room was reasonably spacious and the bed was clean and comfortable. The en-suite was very small but we personally did not find it a problem. There was very little noise from the pub bar or the road during our stay. The food served in the pub was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

It would have been nice to have been able to get breakfast.

Very friendly staff, nice clean room. Very pleasant eating area. Lovely gardens for eating drinking outside. Very good food. Perfect position 5 minutes from M1. Good value for money.

Only thing being a reduced menu midweek. But I understand this as most locations must have reduced customers at this time. Actually a bit of a positive as what we had was good. Maybe some places spread themselves too thinly trying to provide variety and quality suffers.

Friendly staff. Great pub, restaurant and beer garden. Food service until 9 so if you are travelling for work, you stand a good chance of food when you get there. Short stay from Daventry for where we needed to be for work. Room was plenty big with a very comfy bed. Free WiFi. Best night sleep I have had in a while.

TV was temperamental on some channels. Didn't work at night on some channels then did in the morning but shortly went off again as the morning rolled on. Perhaps an interference issue? Only stayed one night so wasn't the end of the world as the WiFi was strong enough to compensate instead.

Made to feel very welcome from the start. The staff were pleasant and lovely.

Some would say the room was basic but it had everything you needed. When people ask would you stay there again, I wouldn’t hesitate in going back.
