Lovely room, very clean. Lovely friendly team. Piping hot good quality food and a good choice of breakfast dishes
A lovely stay at the Red Lion. All the staff were so friendly, helpful and attentive. The breakfasts were delicious and the evening meal we had was absolutely scrumptious. We’d definitely recommend a stay here.
We stayed 2 nights with our dog. Very clean room, super breakfast and very friendly staff.
Just a note please replace toaster at breakfast. Out of 6 slots only 3 work.
Great pub, lovely staff and superb food. Accommodation (Room 3) was clean and comfortable but could do with a little TLC e.g. could not take a shower as wall attachment was at bath level!
Great pub with great access to the coastal path, amazing food comfort room with amazing views

Great stay for one night
Great location, good value, good food and lovely staff
Just a shame of the unwanted hairs in bathroom that did not belong to us the spiders and cobwebs, room needed a good clean and a shower curtain in bath and shower holder.
The bedroom block was poorly presented - exterior walkway unswept and badly maintained. Mis-matched and cracked tiles in bathroom, discoloured grouting, damaged mirror, inadequate shower bracket making it unuseable, dirty shelf and window surround, loose toilet seat. Drink splashes on walls, outdated furniture with several damaged areas, dirty tea tray. Holes in corners of duvet cover. Paintwork excessively damaged. The room needs a complete refurbishment and was not worth what we paid. Breakfast was lovely and staff friendly and helpful but the bedroom fell very short of what was advertised compared with what was available elsewhere for the same price.
