The Red Lion Inn

Everything about my stay was absolutely wonderful! All staff were so warm and welcoming, they couldn't have been any nicer. They even provided me with a spare tube of toothpaste which they went out of their way to find for me. They really went above and beyond. I travel the country with my wedding photography business and The Red Lion Inn is full of carefully considered details in the room that sets them apart from other hotels. I don't want to mention them because it will spoil discovering them for yourself :) The breakfast was absolutely impeccable and full of nice touches such as their delicious homemade marmalade. I left The Red Lion Inn feeling calm, relaxed and desperately wanting to come back!

It was an absolute pleasure to visit The Red Lion Inn in September, 2023. We were exhausted after spending the entire day at the WB Studio Tour in London, and we arrived just as the kitchen was about to close. A very kind and heartwarming lady checked us in and immediately took our food order so that we could eat before heading to our room. We ordered the Fish and Chips and the Chicken. Both dishes were quite generous (which we didn't mind at all because we were starving) and incredibly tasty. The ambiance is incredibly pleasant and relaxing, and Bella, the dog, was such a sweetheart. The rooms were exceptionally comfortable and quiet. We wished we had one more night to enjoy our stay and the room a bit better. The room was clean, the bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, and the bathroom was beautiful. It was Hobbit's day, and we got to experience it with the tiny doors that required a bit of crouching to pass through, but nothing that would deter anyone from staying there. Now, let's talk about breakfast. What an experience! We are not from the UK, so we had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious and authentic English Breakfast in a room filled with other very kind guests. It was simply brilliant. We loved every single aspect of our stay at The Red Lion Inn and can't recommend it highly enough. Once again, we would like to thank the lady that check us in. Unfortunately, we forgot your name but you were very kind to us and made the whole experience even better.

We had a lovely two night stay, the staff were lovely, and so was our room. We decided to dine in in the evening, we weren't disappointed as the food was amazing and log fires burning, just perfect. The breakfast was also fabulous, spoilt for choice. The area is very beautiful, we visited the rolltop stones and diddly squat farm shop.

I'd take only a star off for the location which is no fault of the hotel itself. > Welcome was warm and all.information needed given. > Room was exceptionally comfortable, Molton Brown items in the bathrooms and fresh coffee bags not instant (important for me!) >Food in restaurant was exceptional and reasonably priced for quality. >Dogs treated like royalty.

Stopped here on the way back to Birmingham from Diddley Squat. It was a Sunday afternoon and we hadn’t booked in advance but thought we’d try our luck. What a great decision we made. They were busy but the very friendly lady behind the bar managed to get us seated and we had the most beautiful food. Would highly recommend. I’ll definitely be stopping by next time I’m in the area

Really quite a bizarre experience. And a bizarre set of 5 star reviews. Makes the whole thing pointless. This place is a shambles. Pas Agg staff, completely overwhelmed kitchen, absolutely zero customer service. Everyone spends their entire time explaining why you can’t do apparently completely normal things; buy food, order drinks, get a (empty) table etc. Any query about why that’s the case is met with some sort of superior dismissal. Extraordinarily inept at running a business. A shame. As aside from the the staff incompetence and rudeness there’s a lovely pub waiting to break out.
