"Exceptional"

9.0

The pub was very good. The room was spacious and very comfortable and clean.

Green King who own the pub, have a very standard 'pub grub' menu. We would have preferred more home cooked food, but the standard was good and we knew the menu when we booked.

The breakfast was good but should have been included in the price.

Room configuration as bathroom open plan and not very discreet. Breakfast options not very well explained.

"It was my third stay at The Red Lion, and I would certainly come again. It is a lovely, historic pub"

8.0

I just had the Continental breakfast and it was excellent. And great to have the butter in little pots rather than the small packets that most places have. My one suggestion would be to have bigger glasses for the fruit juices.

The bathroom did not have a toilet brush. All bathrooms should have one.

breakfast was 'average'. the waitress took my cup away to get coffee, not using the handle and with her fingers inside the cup - not very hygienic or pleasant.
