Reception were very welcoming and check in was quick. Full details of breakfast options available provided but we were leaving earlier than breakfast commenced so didnt use. Bedroom was spacious for the 3 of us, 2 adults and a teenager. Room/bathroom was dated and could have done with a freshen up, but not too much of an issue as we only slept and showered at property. Food available in bar or restaurant but not that cheap - £55 - 85 for 3 with a drink. Typical mass produced pub food. Chicken and ham pie was good, and bacon cheese burger. Lasagne wasn't great in size and taste. Most places Lasagne is like lava in terms of heat but this was only warm.

Well-sited hotel with attached pub.

Large pub and restaurant with a good number of rooms. On site parking (which guests don't pay for, register your car at hotel reception). Room was comfortable, but hot (a fan was provided). Breakfast was good, though the staff were under pressure because most guests seemed to arrive around 8.15am on Saturday and expected to be immediately seated. I'd suggest checking with Reception on breakfast patterns if you are in a hurry. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Good free parking when registered as a guest. Nice breakfast with a la carte and buffet included. Reception staff very helpful with booking tas. Room a little small compared to some other hotels we have stayed in and dates but McLean and comfortable. Two flights of stairs were a surprise but we did not specify a lower floor

Comfortable Base for Visiting the Area

As always, we were well looked after by the friendly Red Lion team. Our room was comfortable and clean, and up to expectations. Meals in the hotel restaurant were good, with a good variety on the menu. The hotel makes an ideal base for visiting the area and its attractions.

Disappointing with mediocre staff

As I approached the Red Lion, I was put off by the shabby state of the exterior. However, upon arrival, I was greeted by a charming Receptionist and was advised that I had been upgraded. My room, however, seemed to be the standard room for a Greene King hotel. Unfortunately, the room was roasting hot when I arrived; a small table fan was provided but it did little to cool or move the air. The bar area was very busy with all the tables taken up by customers. After an excessive wait to buy a drink, I enquired about a table to be informed that the restaurant was reserved for the quiz! A strange decision to give priority to quizzers over diners. The rather rude Restaurant Manager and her flippant manner told me that I had to find a table in the bar and so, inconsiderately, I jumped on to a table for 6 as it became free just to have somewhere to eat! The food was awful! The salmon fishcakes had soaked up the oil and had started to beak up. The poached egg was uncooked with runny white and the tasteless Hollandaise sauce bore no reference to the classic accompaniment! Breakfast was well arranged and well managed by 2 older ladies. My assessment of the Red Lion Hotel is that it could do a lot better and the Restaurant and Bar staff need training in customer service. Unlikely to return.

We really enjoyed our stay, great location, close to train station and shopping centre. Stairs very creaky but to be expected in an old building.
