I travelled with my teenage son for a beach competition at Poppit Sands, it was a lovely comfortable room, good location for exploring Cardigan. The staff and locals at The Red Lion were all so lovely and welcoming to us both, he enjoyed playing darts and pool with some of the regulars. He is already keen to come back and we only left this morning

I was disappointed to find that despite what it said on the Hotels site the Red Lion did not organise parking if you phoned. I had to park 5 minutes walk away and thankfully it was not raining too hard. With no food at the pub food choices were a little limited but luckily there is a very good take away pizza shop 50 metres away. The breakfast I had was very good so no problems with that.

Good value with modern rooms and nice pub

Couldn't really fault for the price paid. Modern and spotless. Good location for the town, and very friendly helpful staff. All good. Nice boozer too. Public parking around the corner - and its free! Downside is its often full during the day - better to wait until after 5pm if you can. There are plenty of other parking options around the town. All personal preference - but a later check out would have been nice; we are not 10am people!
