The room was small but clean. It was located above the bar so some noise till closing time. My visit was spoilt be inconsiderate guests slamming doors and loud tv in the next room. The food was very nice as was the beer. A good pub/Hotel for the price. Would stay again.

Wonderful place to stay

Some of the friendliest and kindest staff I've ever had, with a simple and easy check-in/check-out process. Also very delicious food at the pub downstairs as well. My bed was very comfortable as well, and the room was very clean. Overall, I'd gladly come back to stay if I ever visit again.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Red Lion and the food was delicious / beers kept well too. No breakfast available but comfy and clean rooms with coffee and tea making facilities. There is a community general store to the rear of the property which is handy!
