FantasticSolo stay
Received a friendly welcome. Staff were very helpful. Accommodation was small, but had everything I needed. It was clean and tidy. As I was staying for a week, a small fridge was installed, which was ideal. Free parking a bonus.
Only downside was because it is next to the pub garden, it can be a bit noisy in the evenings. After pub hours it is quiet.
The pub is an old traditional pub serving good range of beers and ciders at reasonable prices.
I would definitely stay here again.

We used the Red Lion as a base for a weekend break. The accommodation was very good and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
We could park right outside the room (so easy to carry our luggage to the room). Main meals were excellent but no Breakfast, but then again you are five minutes from many cafes.
Bar was good. We will go back there in the future.

Great Parking at back behind pub. Easy check in. Lovely helpful staff. Clean room, comfy beds. Only recommendation is about the doors- our opposite neighbour went in and out a lot during the night and doors were very noisy as they stuck slightly so had to slam them. Otherwise lovely stay.

Nice old pub in town, good sized room with fridge, in separate block at the rear. Landlord very helpful and pleasant, happy to let us leave the car in the car park for the morning whilst we explored after checking out. Would happily stay again.
