We were met by a ferocious sounding dog, Carter the really rather lovely pub dog, although he sounded ferocious he wasn’t at all and he helped show us to our room, he was very friendly. The room was really nice good decors and clean. Everything you needed was provided, they even provided me with a small pot of cream when I explained that I was lactose intolerant. We both slept very well on a firm ( my preference) mattress and in the morning enjoyed my creamy coffee! The shower was clean and powerful and the toiletries provided were fragrant and unisex. We went for breakfast in the main dining room. The breakfast arrived quickly and was hot. I had poached eggs which were just perfect and the sausages and bacon were good quality.

My only problem was the seal around the shower was showing signs of needing to be replaced. We were not offered a choice of white or brown bread, brown came as standard.

The accommodation was excellent. An upstairs room in a separate semi - detached building with its own exterior entrance. The room is spacious, tastefully furnished and equipped and the adjoining bathroom is large, with modern bathroom furniture. The large shower is particularly good. The room was warm when the heating was on ( but see below !). The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful; and we had a particularly warm welcome from our landlord in the bar in the evening. We very much enjoyed the lively Friday bar night! Good beer; and a good breakfast in the morning. A really good overnight stay in a pub easy to reach from M4 motorway.

The bed coverings. Although tastefully decorated, they were too thin and inadequate for a cold night. This upstairs room with an open top staircase leading directly into the bedroom itself means that in cold weather it is cold at night once the central heating goes off. We were so cold in bed as not to sleep properly and to have to get up in the night and put on some outdoors clothes ( jumpers and socks!). We would recommend providing duvets.

It's just so relaxing & friendly. Come & go as you please & the breakfast is so good We at lunch & evening dinner & had no complaints about the food, sunday roast was awesome.

There was nothing we didn't like, very minor suggestion for the "assessable room" the shower over the bath needs a hand rail to help pull yourself into the bath & to steady yourself when getting out. Otherwise all good.

Separate annexe from pub nice Large bathroom. Plenty of room Plentiful breakfast and choice

A bit on the chilly side in accommodation Lovely staff but wasn’t keen on the hoovering going on whilst we ate breakfast

Staff was excellent. Good selection of food, wide variety - huge portions. Good location for our travels - from Portsmouth to Gloucester

Suggest adding a wifi repeater in the middle room

The food at the Red Lion is incredible, the chef is exceptional and the high quality of products used means the breakfast and dinner is always great. Rooms are clean and well kept and the beds are comfortable. It is nice and quiet so a good nights sleep is assured.

Hair dryer not working.

Last year 2022 I attended a gig at the Arlington Arts Centre and I stayed at Ye old Red Lion. I was very pleased there, so when I got tickets to attend the same venue this year, I wanted to stay in ye old red Lion. They even put me in the same room which was comfortable and had a shower that pinned you against the wall! the food is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.

Nothing to complain about.

The staff were all lovely and keen to make us feel very welcome. All the meals were very good, including the various breakfasts that we had over the course of three days. Nice beer in the bar and a very cosy feel in general.

The mattress on the bed needs replacing!

The rooms were warm & comfortable, the staff were very welcoming & accommodating. Breakfast was lovely. We ate in the pub both evenings & would highly recommend.

2 small niggles but the TV volume not working in one of the rooms (merely for noise rather than actually watching) & room Internet non existent.

Large room. Quiet even though next to the pub. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent! Quality ingredients, cooked perfectly to my liking. Great tradition old pub.

The heavy brass keyring for room key!!
