Rooms an okay size. Spa bath and small flatscreen TV. Food very good. Grasmere a great little place more

Stayed here for a night some time ago but only now realised that the review we wrote didn't work! This place is BAD! It was very expensive and we were expecting much better. The whole place needed refurbishing because it was shabby and felt like something from Blackpool promenade. The room was 70s style and there was mould round the... more

I organised a reunion weekend stay for 7 friends at the Red Lion and we all enjoyed our time there. Our rooms were not particularly large but were well equipped and comfortable. The food we had there was excellent (the breakfasts are particularly generous) and the staff were cheerful and helpful. The hotel has a really friendly atmosphere. The Red... more

After reading reviews about the Red Lion being 'tired' we were very pleasantly surprised. Our top floor family room was very large and had been recently refurbished.

Echoing some of the more recent comments on the three stars and under side, sadly, I think time is catching... more

Bathroom clean but old and worn. Bed was comfy and everything worked well. The pool, sauna etc was lovely. We didn't visit the attached pub. Was not cheap but... more
