Bit Pricey but worth a look

Pub / restaurant/ hotel. Drinks/ plenty of choice. Food/ breakfast excellent cooked to order. Restaurant food/ good food well cooked not much choice on menu although some specials were offered. Rooms/ Clean basic, tea & coffee provided with kettle. Maid service every day WiFi not available in Rooms. We weren’t familiar with this part of the world and assumed this Hotel was in area with other similar venues, this wasn’t the case in fact it was pretty much isolated from other Pubs or shops. Overall it was a nice stay with pleasant, helpful and attentive staff.

Good but not quite perfect

Lovely friendly service with great food. The accommodation was well presented and had everything needed hit the room was freezing cold and only a light blanket and sheet on the bed. Even once I worked out how to turn the radiator on the room was cold as was the bathroom.

Nice pub and a nice area, my room was OK but was in need of some updating, also right next to the beer garden with people outside the window until after 11pm. The food was OK, need more veggie choices for my taste. Didn't feel the need to rush back but it was OK.

Staying at Ye Olde Red Lion was a fun experience. It is probably the most unique place I've stayed with its blending of old, old and new and updated rooms. I would stay here again. We were in Arran Room which was very nice other than the mattress should be replaced. It is uncomfortable. The outside grounds need some cleaning and TLC, too. (There had just been a big storm/rain which might account for some of the mess and debris around the grounds.) Overall, an interesting stay with great breakfast and friendly staff.
