My wife and I stayed here as we were attending a wedding at Rockbeare Manor and it's only 10-15 mins away. So glad we did.. the staff are all lovely, the pub is cosy, the accommodation fab and the food is amazing. Couldn't recommend this place enough, we only wished we'd stayed longer.

Charming, small inn

Charming, small inn. Next to very pretty church. Tasty and filling breakfast included. Looks newly redecorated. My room faced onto the car park, and had quite low ceilings… but my colleague’s room seemed to have lovely tall ceilings, and old beams. Pillows were a bit lumpy, and the room was quite chilly overnight.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Whilst on first impressions the rooms look nice, it is clear that a deep clean is required. The ceiling lights on both rooms we laden with cobwebs as there were cobwebs on the walls. On checking underneath the beds, it was clear that it had not been vacuumed for a considerable time. The staff whilst friendly didn’t service the rooms on Christmas Eve and as such we were left with the same towels for over 4 days and no ability to empty the bins in the rooms. This hotel could be so much more, the location is excellent and with more care, it could be a good place to stay. It didn’t help when a member of staff said that they don’t ordinarily vacuum guest rooms. That is unacceptable to only vacuum them once a guest has left.

Lovely stay. Delightful pub.

Lovely stay at The Red Lion. The apartment was delightful and the perfect place to stay before a day in Exeter. The pub is very dog friendly and our 2 pups were made to feel very welcome. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious too. I would definitely stay again and recommend the Red Lion to everyone.

A proper pub stay!

This was a real home from home. We could not have been made to feel more welcome. After a 3.5 day drive from Corfu to walk through the doors of a friendly Great British hostelry was simply the best experience. Spacious accommodation in the Flat, plenty of room to unwind with my two dogs who were a little wound up after the long drive. A good nights sleep and the ability to run off steam in the field opposite, we all left relaxed and chilled. Pub grub was fabulous too! As I couldn’t stay for breakfast , they even went to the trouble of sending me off with a packed lunch! 😋
Sorry but Midas made himself at home! One exhausted pooch!!

A good choice

We had a good stay. Room food and beer all good. We had to leave before breakfast and were offered takeaway options instead which was appreciated.
