My partner and I spend a lot of time in the the village and was looking for somewhere to stay that is dog friendly. The new owners of the Red Lion were very friendly and welcoming. Our room was at the side of the pub with easy access out the fire escape which made life easier with the dog and... more

Wrote a review on this hotel which has seemed to have disappeared. Forget comments pre-new owners who arrived early 2009. We found this place excellent, good reasonably priced fresh/home cooked food, excellent breakfasts and a friendly staff and locals. If you want gold plated taps,overpriced food and bland rooms go to a five star hotel and pay through the nose.... more

We had a pleasant stay here over easter but the decor is seriously tired and in need of updating.

New owners have created an ambience in their pub for others to aspire to. Great pub food menu, perfect after a day in the hills, smashing breakfasts, well kept real ale, sensible prices, comfortable bed, powerful showers, clean rooms - what more could you ask for?? We will be back.......... :) more

Just returned from five night stay. Booked mainly because of location in lovely traditional Lakeland village. On arrival we were greeted by friendly helpful staff. The accommodation was clean, warm and comfortable and the food was well prepared and served promptly, taking our preferences into consideration. The accommodation has retained the feel of a 15th Century Inn whilst adding some... more

Spent Good Friday at this establishment, we were booked in for three nights over Easter but found it so bad we left after the first night. It is nothing like it appears on the website, our room was on the front of the hotel and so small you couldn't swing a cat, the bathroom(?) was even smaller, just a portion... more
