I can't review the rooms because we never got past the booking fiasco but I can review the booking, breakfast and drinks there. Summary if you don’t want to read on: Manager and staff surly and obstructive. Booking a fiasco, they gain bookings under the guise of The Red Lion but is a front to get more business for the...

My wife and I was recommended by a local to sample the food at the red lion. We had been there many years ago and decided to give it a try for old times sake. On arrival, we were very pleasantly surprised to see such a face lift to what we remember. The restaurant had been designed to perfection giving... More

We had just returned back from a short stay in Ypres, Belgium, and had booked the Holiday Inn for 1 night stopover. We booked The Red Lion as recommended, even though we thought it was over priced. The starters were very disappointing, all over £6.00, the whitebait was unpleasant, bland and tasteless. Mushroom and goats cheese was tiny and not... More

Very conveniently located next to the train station, this hotel has a lot of character with its quirky lay out and fantastic pub. This is a hotel which is a pub on the ground floor and the rooms are on the first floor. Reception and bar are combined, giving a pleasantly informal feeling during the check in. My room was... More

ROOM I only stayed here one night but the room is very good. The bed is comfortable and the shower is very powerful (unfortunately a lot of rooms do not have baths). There are two big issues; the minimalist design means no storage for clothes. You can either use the coat hangers or leave things in your bags but worse... More

This hotel has gone through a very recent refurbishment and is not finished yet. In our opinion, it was not ready for guests. The staffing levels are very poor and so if you want any assistance; there is no-one around to help except for one member of staff behind the bar who is also responsible for reception and waiting on...

The restaurant has only just been renovated and reopened. The service is terrible as the kitchen staff not being able to cope with the amount of tables even when the seating area is only a third full. The food although tastey, is over priced and and they are trying too hard to make it something it is not. The selection... More
