Short stay

Very spacious room (no 6) , great food we enjoyed the Sunday carvery and a fantastic breakfast. Very relaxing atmosphere and lovely little town. Just be mindful if you are a light sleeper, it’s near a busy road and traffic starts around 5 am, otherwise would recommend and would be happy to return if in the area.

Lovely staff through out - reception/bar and kitchen. The food is tasty and portions are generous - the XL BBQ ribs are actually XL! The rooms are clean and spacious with a will sought out lay out. While the link to the rooms from the bar could do with some refresh, the facilities in the room are great. My room.had a view of Riber Castle, it was lovely making the connection on my hike. I enjoyed my stay.

The Red Lion was a lovely for me and my partner, we had an amazing stay. The staff at the pub were lovely, especially Aviva who was so friendly and helpful in the restaurant. I give four stars only because the price was a little unreasonable for the time of year (mid-November) when many local attractions are closed. Otherwise I could not recommend this place enough for a lovely weekend break.

On arrival I was greeted by a lovely young lady who showed me to my room and made sure that I had everything that I needed. The room was pleasant and well kept. It was spacious and comfortable. The en-suite was nice and the shower powerful and hot. The included breakfast was delicious and service couldn’t be faulted.
