Check-in was both accommodating, welcoming and efficient. Room compact but perfectly adequate for our requirements. Only negative is the Rain Shower: my wife had had her hair 'put up' and although a shower cap was provided it was difficult to get all the hair under without getting it wet or undoing the styling. A small hand-shower alongside the main shower would have been very useful. Cold water pressure in hand basin too high resulting in a soaking if put on full without thinking. Two very minor points that did not spoil our break. Didn't have dinner at the Hotel but breakfast was to die for. Great beer. Thankyou to all the team. Payment being taken our of our account without pre warning is definitely a No-No especially as it was in the name of the parent company, not Expedia or Hotel!

Great place to stay, lovely village,amazing people

Had a lovely stay for 2 nights at the Red Lion. The owners and the team and extremely friendly and helpful and added to the enjoyment of our stay. The breakfast each day was brilliant, with lots of choices to suit everyone. The room was nice and we all found the beds very comfortable. The location is in a really nice, peaceful and quaint little village, which is really nice to walk around and look at the historic buildings and lots of thatched roofed cottages.

Fantastic place

I travel very frequently so don’t normally take the time to write reviews, but have to give special mention for The Red Lion. A lovely warm welcome, cracking food (pie was amazing, as was breakfast) and comfortable rooms. All in a beautiful old building and village with lots of character. Priced very reasonably too and good location off the M1. I’m sure I’ll be back to stay again soon. Thank you.

Disappointing

On arrival it seemed a nice country pub, however, on opening the door to room 1 I was confronted by a steep twisting staircase on which I had to sit to lock the door. Up in the room I found it to be clean and spacious but noted the ceiling sloping diagonally into the walls. In the toilet I banged my head when using the wash basin. The bath which was outside in the main room separated by a plastic panel, was a fashionable but totally impractical free standing type with a hand held shower. The sloping ceiling prevented anyone standing up to use the shower. The bed was comfortable but why oh why does anyone put cushions on a bed. They're just in the way and end up on the floor. I didn't use the restaurant but breakfast options were imaginative and very nice. If I had been staying for more than the 1 night I would have requested a change of room.

A destination for the delicious food

Amazingly large and typically quaint old coaching inn under new and energetic management. We stayed because of proximity to Althorp House. Stand out feature is the food at typical pub prices but far from typical. It was superb and makes it a destination in itself. Such a pleasant change to eat real home cooking and not some chilled and reheated offering. Full English breakfast included in room rate and also superb.
