더 레드 라이온 인

The Red Lion has so much potential - the rooms are clean ( except cobwebs in the skylight window) and it was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant lets this place down. Breakfast day 1 no yogurt, no apple juice , no crunchy nut cornflakes Day 2 no yogurt, no cncf although they did have some apple juice. Day 3 still no yogurt, no cncf, no sausages, no beans and no marmalade (although some was later found) . I got the feeling that this was accepted as normal that they would run out of things. We ate at the restaurant one evening - hummus was like no other hummus I have ever eaten - we sent it back - I had the lamb for main meal and it was delicious - others complained that the orange mash - no idea what it was as it was not listed on the menu - was tasteless - but the pie was v nice. The pavlova dessert was awful - crème freche had turned to liquid and the meringue was tasteless. I am sorry to say the lack of attention to detail became irritating and we will not be returning. It was not as if the rooms are cheap and we expected more for the money.

The very young staff are the best part of this property, they are polite, helpful and friendly. A credit to themselves. The room was really over priced. The bed was very old and sagging. There were a number of stains on the quilt and cover. The room was freezing and there were untold number of cobwebs which make one concerned about cleanliness generally. The water was lovely and hot but the shower head is was very clogged with limescale. Good brekkie with wonderful poached eggs!
