Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

From the friendly welcome I knew we’d enjoy the evening! The meals were delicious, I had the generously sized steak and ale pie, my wife had the quiche. The sides were also tasty. Paired with the free bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc as part of...the Rewards programme in November it was a great date night out! Highly recommended!More

First time at the red lion normally go to the waterwitch or derby but they were fully booked but we were not disappointed with Sunday lunch. Great fresh food cooked to perfection and a good range of wine and beers although a sweeter rose should...be available. Only miner criticism was vegetables could be served on a separate dish.More

We booked a two night stay here. Warm welcome from the host, who was friendly and efficient. Booked an evening meal, on an extremely busy night. Food was excellent, service spot on despite the pub heaving with customers. Our group of 4 could not fault...the service or food. Breakfast service was a relaxing experience, with a good choice provided, with continental during the week and full breakfasts available at the weekend. Room was spacious and clean, the only downside was it was very stuffy, however, we were provided with a fan which was a great help. The hotel explained that it could not install air conditioning due to the very old building layout. Shower room felt luxurious, with fluffy clean towels and toiletries provided on both days. My only negative was there was no wardrobe or drawers for clothes, however, this was outweighed by the overall quality of our stay. We will be back!More
