Staff were very friendly 0f what little we saw of them. Room was beautifully clean and very comfortable sleep on the bed, good shower. Lovely location, goats a bonus! Pub was very busy so stayed away as I have a sen child but it did not disturb us in our room which was great. Did not experience the food service as did not eat here due to our plans.

Couldn't get tv working and member of staff was too busy to help (not her fault) I think she had best intentions but the bar was so busy and she was on her own so I wasn't expecting. Didn't matter too much as we had our own devises and the internet worked.

Location was excellent. Car parking ample, staff lovely and helpful-had a flat tyre before setting off and rang to say I would be very late arriving, this just wasnt an issue to them, said they would make arrangements for me to access my room in a late arrival situation. And welcoming when I did eventually arrive! I ate both breakfast and dinner here-food was hot, tasty and excellent choices on the menu. My room was spotless, warm and comfortable-I would DEFINITELY stay again

For me there were not enough teabags but that is in no way a complaint and all I had to do was ask. Other people might prefer more coffee… this has not altered my marks given.

Really good location for me as it was close to family. The staff were amazing! I was travelling on my own and said I’d maybe pop down for a drink later and they said they would be happy to introduce me to the locals if I wanted. Very friendly staff and happy to help if I ever needed anything. Having the pub so close by was great as you could just pop over and get a drink and take it back to your room if you liked. I was craving a proper coffee and it was amazing from the pub and I could take it back to my room. The room was clean and easy to control the temperature via the radiator. The shower pressure was incredible and something I wasn’t expecting at all.

Some of the staff in the late evening weren’t as friendly as the daytime staff but I think they were perhaps just busy. No shower gel in the bathroom but a handy little dove soap dispenser by the sink. A little bit loud when the pub shut but that was expected. Also the car park got quite full up with there being live music on.

Visited as this was my husbands local 40 years ago. We had a reunion of old friends there and decided to stay the night. Last time we did this was 30 years ago on our wedding night. The rooms are located outside the pub in a 2storey motel style. The upper floor is accessed by an external staircase. The room was well heated but radiator easily turned up or down to suit personal taste. Beds and bedding extremely comfortable. Friendly staff even though we did slightly outstay our welcome (sorry). All in all a great evening in a lovely local pub and a good nights sleep

There was no shower gel in room and only two tea bags for the morning cuppa

Property was great and so were staff. Room was beautiful and modern

I was in room 2 which was downstairs in an annexe. Unfortunately, it was within 2 metres of tables in the beer garden and people were out there until almost 1am, which kept me asleep. They then went indoors to room 3 and were playing music. It eventually went quiet at around 1.40, when two of them continued their converation right outside my room. I tried, in vain, to contact the desk in the hotel, but I don't think there was one. I tried a general number I found on the web, but no joy there either. I had a 200 mile drive that morning and was not amused.

We have stayed at the Red Lion a couple of times in the past and whilst it’s always been OK, the rooms really needed a good refresh. This time - Wow!! The room has been totally refurbished, fully decorated and all the furniture replaced. New lighting fitted and a full bathroom refurbishment as well. It looked really good and the colour scheme made the room look much bigger. Staff are always very friendly and the breakfast was excellent.

We got back to the RL at about 10.15 on Sunday evening after a function and were hoping for a couple of beers but sadly, the pub was closed. The only other minor gripe is the bedroom window which is “questionable” but maybe they are difficult to replace with the building being very old (possibly listed?).

Great value pub/motel very handy for M6 travellers. The rooms are basic and quite compact, and are very clean and have everything you need - desk, tea/coffee/kettle, large TV, bathroom. Beds clean and comfy. Attached to pub which does good typical pub menu and a great selection of draft ales and lager. Crowd were clearly local and very friendly.

Only stayed one night, and nothing really negative to say. The view was directly out onto the car park which wasn't a problem as I couldn't see it anyway when I had the curtains closed and was asleep. Walls aren't too think and another guest was a bit noisey but all quiet when I went to sleep.

Very quiet despite being above the beer garden ( but it was a cold winter night!). A lovely country village. I could hear bird song into the early hours of the morning. I had trouble sleeping ( see below) The room was clean and spacious. The shower was amazing- very powerful. Good supply of tea and coffee. Lovely room. The staff seemed friendly and cheerful but did not have much interaction as it was literally a place to sleep for the night.

As a solo female traveler, my room was outside up a metal staircase with other rooms along the outside walkway. Once inside the room there was no spy hole in the door or even a small window, on that side of the wall. I felt a bit vulnerable, as if someone knocked on my door, there was no way of seeing who it was before opening it. The outside beer garden had no gate or security so anyone could have access. Also the outside door lock was very flimsy like an internal bathroom door . There was no emergency /security phone number on show. I think next time I will stick with premier inn.

Staff were friendly, arrived about 15 mins before the kitchen closed, the staff let us know, so we had a nice soup and warm baguette. The locals were friendly and the rooms were small but adequate, clean and presented well. Would stay again. Was quiet and we slept really well, bed was super comfy. Shower was good. We had to depart early for work so we didn't get to sample breakfast.

Would have been lovely if breakfast was available a little earlier for those staying for business.

We have been visiting the Red Lion for 20 years. We have family nearby and it's great for our gatherings. The room revamps are a great addition and make a big difference to how the room feels. A much more contemporary feel. The staff are friendly and helpful. ( even when training new staff at the same time as checking in a large contingent of our family) Great breakfast with an amazing time window, allowing slow starts if needed. Our go to stay in the area.

All good , thanks
