What a lovely place to stay, lovely staff and food, 1 of our boys has an eating disorder (ARFID) which can be restrictive and cause issues, and sometimes stress for him, but so happy to say not here, requested just some bacon for breakfast and the owner was happy to do this without questioning why or complicating things,such a pleasant change. Thankyou so much, set the day up for a good one. Hopefully will be back again !!!

A warm welcome
The Red Lion is now a family business, and what a lovely family they are. From first welcome to final farewell, they couldn't have looked after us better.
