Great location, right in the town centre. Good sized room and the bed was comfortable. Pleasant and helpful staff. Breakfast was good and good portion size. My only critique would be there is no mirror at the vanity desk and the one in the bathroom was not in the light.

Very unique property - - the oldest hotel in continuous use in Europe (800 years old). Very friendly staff, especially at reception. Nice breakfast. Limited parking, so that can be a challenge.

I very much liked my stay at the Red Lion, however I was a little disappointed about my room, from the photos it seemed quite modern but it wasn’t, however there was good food options for breakfast as well as dinner. There was a very good bar as well and very friendly staff.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Lovely old hotel, but the service is terrible. Twice i have stayed here and won't again. Room was cold when i arrived and ask for and extra heater and they said the room should heat up in a few hours . Bathroom hadnt been cleaned. Bar team didn't want to serve anyone. Not food on offer tonight and even run out crisps. Last time i stayed here the breakfast was cold and very below the standard of paying 16. I though i would give them a second chance. But no improvement this time. Such a shame as the place could be amazing.
