Worth a visit

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Room was delightful, although I wish I'd read the description better as didn't realise the bath meant no shower, also a bit of a climb if you want the kingsize bed. Bed was comfy and thankful for the bottles of water provided and great coffee bags. Food in the evening was excellent, a few things weren't on the menu due to a delivery not arriving, but it didn't matter as what we had was delicious. Only disappointing thing was the continental breakfast. Hard, cold mini croissant and mini pan au chocolat; grated cheddar, instead of gouda or an equivalent; garlic butter provided for my toast and jam! Asked for the manager to email me but have yet to hear from them.

The room was clean but rather tired in decor. The staff were pleasant & efficient. Parking was free & was easily accessible. Although the breakfast menu was extensive, there was no marmalade available on the Saturday morning when we asked for it, and the sourdough toast was so hard it was impossible to bite into it! There were no cereals on offer. The cooked dishes on offer were numerous and when we ordered some on the Sunday morning (on soft muffins rather than soughdough toast), they were beautifully presented and delicious). We were V surprised to find that the cups in our room were SO small - not large enough for tea (probably only an espresso coffee) and they were not changed for clean ones for the 2nd morning! BAD POINT! We thought the dining room/bar area had been pleasantly decorated - it was cosy & appealing. It would have been preferable if we had been asked how we would have liked the duck breast to be cooked. My partner found that his was over-done. No extra fresh veg was offered. Only various potato dishes as extra sides.

Typical country pub, great room. Great sunday roast and also a superb breakfast with good service. Parking local to pub. Good facilities and WIFI available, TV on aerial, so not great, but not a problem with other media available.

Not recommended for business travel

Pleasant little pub with lots of character. Very little in the way of a welcome, just given a key and no further information. The room was very small and bed definitely not large enough for two. Wifi didn't work at all in my room which massively impacted my evening work plans. Not recommended for business travel. Very bright light outside my bedroom (the pub sign) so thicker curtains or blinds would have helped. Very annoying automatic light in bathroom that stays on for ages after you've used it - really irritating during the night.

Thoroughly recommend the Red Lion

Ozan, and all other staff members were excellent. Rooms are lovely, good choice of drinks, and welcoming atmosphere. Both breakfast and evening meals were superb. Well located to explore a lovely rural area with many nice villages and country walks.

Great place to stay, lovely village,amazing people

Had a lovely stay for 2 nights at the Red Lion. The owners and the team and extremely friendly and helpful and added to the enjoyment of our stay. The breakfast each day was brilliant, with lots of choices to suit everyone. The room was nice and we all found the beds very comfortable. The location is in a really nice, peaceful and quaint little village, which is really nice to walk around and look at the historic buildings and lots of thatched roofed cottages.

Fantastic place

I travel very frequently so don’t normally take the time to write reviews, but have to give special mention for The Red Lion. A lovely warm welcome, cracking food (pie was amazing, as was breakfast) and comfortable rooms. All in a beautiful old building and village with lots of character. Priced very reasonably too and good location off the M1. I’m sure I’ll be back to stay again soon. Thank you.

Disappointing

On arrival it seemed a nice country pub, however, on opening the door to room 1 I was confronted by a steep twisting staircase on which I had to sit to lock the door. Up in the room I found it to be clean and spacious but noted the ceiling sloping diagonally into the walls. In the toilet I banged my head when using the wash basin. The bath which was outside in the main room separated by a plastic panel, was a fashionable but totally impractical free standing type with a hand held shower. The sloping ceiling prevented anyone standing up to use the shower. The bed was comfortable but why oh why does anyone put cushions on a bed. They're just in the way and end up on the floor. I didn't use the restaurant but breakfast options were imaginative and very nice. If I had been staying for more than the 1 night I would have requested a change of room.

A destination for the delicious food

Amazingly large and typically quaint old coaching inn under new and energetic management. We stayed because of proximity to Althorp House. Stand out feature is the food at typical pub prices but far from typical. It was superb and makes it a destination in itself. Such a pleasant change to eat real home cooking and not some chilled and reheated offering. Full English breakfast included in room rate and also superb.
