overall, 4 out of 5. Would stay again. Thanks
Great pub in a beautiful village. Very cosy bar area with friendly staff, people and dogs. The room itself was very comfortable and warm. However, we only had enough milk for 2 cups of tea, and only 3 'normal' tea bags. We tried to get more but the downstairs door was locked until 8:30am. We tried again at 9am but the door was still locked. The only way to exit was the fire escape, which we had to take at 10:00am as that was check out time - the downstairs door was still locked. To make matters worse, it had snowed over night making the fire escape a slippery danger zone - not so good for my girldfriend's bad achilles and probably also not so good for elderly guests etc. overall, 4 out of 5. Would stay again. Thanks

You have to be kidding: very poor value for money.
Our room at the Red Lion was nice and comfortable but there were many other problems: i) there was no reliable internet service; ii) there was no breakfast; iii) the kitchen stopped serving dinner at 7.00. When we came down at 7.15, they said they would fire up the kitchen again!; iv) the front door was closed until 12.0 noon which meant we had to come and go in the morning via the fire escape although we had been told that the front door would be opened at 8.30am. This was very very poor value for L164 per night (pounds sterling)l
