My wife and I stayed here as we were attending a wedding at Rockbeare Manor and it's only 10-15 mins away. So glad we did.. the staff are all lovely, the pub is cosy, the accommodation fab and the food is amazing. Couldn't recommend this place enough, we only wished we'd stayed longer.

Lovely stay. Delightful pub.

Lovely stay at The Red Lion. The apartment was delightful and the perfect place to stay before a day in Exeter. The pub is very dog friendly and our 2 pups were made to feel very welcome. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious too. I would definitely stay again and recommend the Red Lion to everyone.

This hotel is in an ideal rural location, with nice walks nearby. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed the home-made biscuits with the good selection of in-room teas and coffee. The food here was delicious, and the staff are friendly, efficient and welcoming.

Lovely stop over en route to Cornwall. Historic and picturesque. Comfortable room and wonderfully looked after by Mandy & Millie in the bar at dinner and by Alison (?) who served as good a breakfast as I’ve had. A happy welcoming venue that provided great value and quality.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Whilst on first impressions the rooms look nice, it is clear that a deep clean is required. The ceiling lights on both rooms we laden with cobwebs as there were cobwebs on the walls. On checking underneath the beds, it was clear that it had not been vacuumed for a considerable time. The staff whilst friendly didn’t service the rooms on Christmas Eve and as such we were left with the same towels for over 4 days and no ability to empty the bins in the rooms. This hotel could be so much more, the location is excellent and with more care, it could be a good place to stay. It didn’t help when a member of staff said that they don’t ordinarily vacuum guest rooms. That is unacceptable to only vacuum them once a guest has left.
