Lovely staff, good drinks, nice gin collection, and just superb food.
The rooms are in cottage style buildings and are collectable, see the photo.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stayed here on business for six nights, I chose the Old Red Lion Inn because of its quiet country location.  Other plus points it offers are an onsite restaurant, which is very good and free parking. All of the staff were very helpful and if I was in the area again I would definitely use the Old Red Lion Inn again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A group of us went for Sunday lunch on Mother’s Day. The service was very friendly, food delicious and fantastic portion sizes. A really varied menu with options for everyone young or old, even on a Sunday. We’re really lucky to have such a brilliant local!
