wedding reception

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Sept 2017
My daughter has just had her wedding reception at the Red Lion and I would recommend it for value for money and service.
The Events Manager was delightful and ensured the day went without a hitch, all the staff were extremely polite and helpful.
I would like to thank everyone who worked on Saturday 19th August for making it such an enjoyable occasion.
Date of stay: August 2017
Room Tip: four poster bed room had very spacious bathroom

You'd might have thought that if a wedding party was going to take over the entire courtyard, dining hall and hotel, the staff might ring to warn anybody who'd booked a room so they'd have the option to stay somewhere else? Not so at the Red Lion where they wait right until you arrive to tell you the news.

As a result, own quiet night's get-a-way (ironically for our own Wedding Anniversary) was transformed to the holiday camp from hell, by screaming kids and loud music.

It's not the Wedding's fault, they are completely entitled to a knees-up, I know we did when we got married .... this is entirely the fault of the hotel staff who only thought to tell us when we turned up and had no-where else to go. Thanks guys for ruining our Anniversary.

Here's an innovative idea.... If you have a large, potentially noisy event (clues would include whether you've booked a disco), in future why not ring the other guests in advance so that they have a choice whether to stay or not? You even took our phone number and email when we booked so it's not that difficult. It's called customer service and ...amazingly ....costs little.

Looking forward to nice evening meal with my wife, very disappointed food not good at all . Starters fair, main course not very good. Cheese board good wine good . Small veg portion. Will not be going again . Used to be lovely in private ownership. Bath Western took over gone downhill.

I like this hotel in a spooky kind of way. It's a blend of old (very old) and new. Quirky and central in location. It could use a bit of a refurb but I suppose that adds to the charm. I liked it enough to write a review. I'd say the breakfast offer could really use a shake up because it let me down, but generally the hotel is good.

Me and my wife had our wedding reception at the Red Lion Salisbury. They were helpful form the start of the process and always reassuring. On the day all the staff were brilliant I cannot thank them enough. I would highly recommend this hotel for a important function. The rooms are good as well so much so a number of my guests are going back to stay there again.

Room tip: I had the seamstress room which is air conditioned. There are a number of large rooms with 4 poster beds and large bathrooms.
