Good place, good food, good price and great staff

Stayed 2 nights while visiting family in the area, found the Red Lion through an internet search, reviews were good and the price was reasonable, so we booked. Very happy we did, all the comments from the good reviews we found to be accurate. The only negative comment I could make is that, by necessity electric showers are fitted and they are a bit whimpish! You to run around to get wet

An amazing little hotel

I honestly cannot recommend this place highly enough. The room was lovely and clean with superb attention to little touches. The staff were genuinely friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised by the cost of the room. Seriously, this is a superb hotel to stay in :)

Excellent Hosts…

I will definitely be back at the Red Lion when I’m next in the area, it’s a lovely pub and the rooms which are located just across the car park are excellent. They’re clean, comfy and small touches like crisps and biscuits top off a lovely place. The hosts are very nice and they’re very welcoming within the pub aswell which serves outstanding food.

Cracking stay

A totally relaxing experience from arrival to departure. We stayed for 2 nights in November and enjoyed every moment. The food and service was fantastic. John and his staff made us feel like locals with terrific banter. He even let me win at darts (lol). I will definitely stay there again whenever I am in the Lincoln area.
