I was allowed to check in early and had an extra guest with me who was not on my booking. No problem whatsoever. The staff were absolutely brilliant. Lovely comfortable room. The under floor heating in the bathroom was awesome. One little word of warning though, the heated towel rail gets VERY hot. Tea and coffee provided along with fresh milk rather than the usual uht stuff. Lovely touch. Bed Lovely and comfortable. No complaints whatsoever ❤️

We went to the Red Lion purely because it suited regarding location. We were actually attending a funeral with family from that area! We were VERY pleasantly surprised by the room. It was spacious and had everything we needed. The bathroom was huge! It was perfect for us. We only stayed one night but, for someone who wanted to explore the area, it is a great place to stay. It was also very good value for money.

Nice warm room, with under floor heating in the spacious bathroom. Good selection of coffees and teas. Very large comfortable bed. Only issue was the entrance door to our room was hard to open, probably swollen with all the wet weather. Food in the pub is good quality.

A really comfortable room, plenty of room. Very big bathroom with a lovely shower. I would definitely recommend a stay here, I’m sorry I only stayed one night, certainly wished it had been longer. I didn’t have breakfast , but had dinner in the pub the previous evening, that was also excellent

Arrived New Years Eve for a two night stay. Check in was easy & we were taken to our room in the grounds. Every thing that you need in the room. Had a great dinner the first night from a well planned menu. All staff very tentative & friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Would recommend a stay at the Red Lion. The purpose built rooms are tucked away in the garden and nice and quiet. Good shower, nice facilities - and the pub lunch - ham, egg and chips was great. No breakfast with the room however it’s convenient to have a Tesco opposite, along with a cafe 1 min walk away. Handy key safe means a quick check-out. There was also room in the pub car park for a couple more cars. Would stay again.

Unexpected and excellent stay, the rooms are away from the actual pub, are spacious, well appointed, clean and provide everything you need, an added bonus all the rooms named after Geordie drinks lol Would highly recommend it There is a Tesco shop across the road for provisions and obviously the pub if you fancy a drink Excellent
