The room was lovely, food/drinks were gorgeous (especially the lamb rogan josh), but the people were the highlight of my stay. Kind and attentive staff and great entertainment with a live band! Thank you so much for this perfect experience. Will be back to stay again :)
Super nice, helpful staff. Easy to check in. Got help with my bags to my room. Good location. Lots of value. It's an older place, but for the price exactly what i was looking for.

It’s a decent enough 3 star property in good location in town centre with car park. My bedroom was good standard. The building itself perhaps a bit dated. No issues for me with stay. Served it’s purpose well
This property was booked at the very last minute and very late in the evening after being let down badly on a previous booking. They were very accommodating and the staff were very friendly. No complaints about the room or the hotel in general, and felt they rescued from a very difficult situation. Thank you!
We stayed the night before going to the airport so we didn’t have to get up quite so early. Check in was easy and painless. Room was basic which is fine. TV didn’t work and channels wouldn’t tune. You could hear the door banging and people walking above quite loudly. Our room was ground floor and window looked onto the road which wasn’t too bad. Room was relatively clean - defo some DIY needed in areas. Main reason for low score was that water came through the ceiling on several occasions through the night. Luckily it was not over the bed but we were concerned that the cracks were worsening. We had to pile towels on the floor to stop the sound. We weren’t provided with a number to call in an emergency so had to wait until morning to report.
One staff member ruined the stay tbh for lying to me and shouting at me in the restaurant… boss and lady behind bar very nice… room was awfully small 1/5 wouldn’t stay again

Great budget hotel. Food & staff are excellent. Rooms are basic & of a reasonable size. Car park is a bit limited.
We arrived at the red lion for our stay, firstly they could not find our booking once found they showed us to our room which was in a poor condition and the smell of damp was overwhelming, we immediately looked for another hotel to stop at.
The corridor leading to my room was very musty and wallpaper was peeling off. The bedroom was not clean ,the towel rail fell off the wall and the room smelt.

Dampness, dirty, condensation, not clean, needing not changed
For a one night stay before a flight it was fine however it was very dirty. There was nail clippings and old food on the floor. Being city centre it was also very loud throughout the night.
No lift and i was struggling with my luggages on the tiny steps, no one helping me.
In the room smells smock tigarrette and i was sleeping with open window for that.
Unfortunately, my recent stay was quite disappointing. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was completely empty, leaving only a rusty frame, and the floor was visibly dirty with a yellow tint. When I attempted to make a cup of tea, I found the mug in the room was unclean and had to go back to reception to request a replacement. To make matters worse, the milk provided had expired back on 27/10/2024.
Under the previous ownership, the quality and attention to detail were significantly better. I truly hope the current management will bring the standards back up—or ideally, raise them further. As it stands, I don't see myself returning.
This property is dirty! I mean dirty! My unit looked nothing like the photos. The water heater for tea was full of scum, the toilet had poop smears, the floor seemed like it was soft and about to give way, the lamps didn’t work, the soap container for the shower was completely empty, we got 1 towel to share between 2 of us, the sink didn’t drain, there was no top sheet for the tiny bed. I would have left but we just traveled 10 hours.
On arrival - car park was full. Even though stated for hotel guests only, after calling the hotel was told it was full with people in the restaurant so they would get a chef to move his car.
Once checked in - got into the room to a very tired room that looked like not been updated for years.
After a long journey- I wanted to just watch the tv. Tried turning it with remote but didn’t work as batteries run out! Got it on with button on tv only to find it had not signal!
Tried to use phone but not much signal so looked in hotel book regards WiFi and tried to log onto one offered in book to find not available!!!!
The toilet was filthy - bath / shower not much better!
Due to warm weather - room had a fan in there but only just felt the fan due to amount of dust on the three blades and outer casing.
Went for a shower - picked up supplied towels and these look like they have not been changed since building was built. Holes in towels, very thing and ends all frayed!!
