Only small moan, we were woken early by a brewery delivery.

Beautiful traditional old style pub, very friendly staff and spotlessly clean. Delicious freshly cooked breakfast.

Something to be aware of is that the first few stairs are very steep, if mobility is an issue.

It’s a charming old property, sloping floors, beams etc. The room was very clean and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant, the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The staff were lovely. Since the rooms are over a pub, we could hear talking downstairs but not obtrusively so. At night, it was very quiet.

Really Enjoyable but brief stay and made to feel welcome and actually kept the kitchens open longer to help us out .

Ideal location for access to UEA and graduation. Fantastic evening meal and lovely breakfast. Very good value for money all round.

Bathroom clean and presentable, but gravity fed shower not so good. Instant coffee in the room - a pod machine would be nice.

A lovely old coaching inn. Friendly welcome, helpful staff, good (and plentiful) food in the restaurant, nice real ales, good WiFi. A good location if you're going to a graduation at UEA, just a couple of miles away.

It could be a bit noisy sometimes, as the rooms are just next to the restaurant, and the internet broadband needs a special booster apparatus, which was not working when I was first there, but the very kind receptionist managed to fix it quickly. I think the room needs a small chair, and more lighting.

The staff was very lovely and very helpful, and the location was good to me. The rooms have a different access than the pub which I like especially it is connected directly to the car park. The room was clean, and the toilet was very cosy.

The walls between the rooms are very thin. I was woken up in the morning by the man in the next room speaking on the phone and he was not speaking loudly. There is a bit of a problem with the hot water either not heating or being boiling hot in the shower

We always stay at the Red Lion when we visit my mother in law who lives up the road. We didn't have a meal this time, but the food is fantastic. The prices are reasonable for a room above a pub.

Room was a small Twin but it did have all essentials. Wouldn't be suitable to spend the day in if weather was bad.. We were in one of the annex rooms No. 5. Expected a bit more comfort for the price but we slept well.

Easy quick drive to Norwich. Food was excellent, with a huge good home made food menu. Staff really happy and helpful especially as we raised a really daft issue where we were totally in the wrong!

The bathroom shower didn't work properly, but apart from that we really liked the Red Lion.

Great friendly staff. Superb atmosphere and delicious food.

There was an issue with the room next door that caused a lot of noise in our room but the staff were very receptive and helped sort the problem.

Good location, very friendly staff and superb food.

I was generally impressed. However, the shower was not very hot. I found it difficult to close and open the blinds. I did not realise it was on such a busy road.

The breakfasts were excellent and I had them for both 2 days. The service was efficient , attentive and friendly. I had 2 evening meals and crab salad for lunch. The food exceeded my expectations and the steak was perfect.

How manic dinner service was. Waited one hour after being seated before my order was taken. The restaurant was very busy but seemed to be struggling with staff. A 10% service charge was added to my bill.

location to Norwich. cleanliness.

the upstairs room area has uneven floors throughout, even our bathroom floor was uneven . door room keys need updating , we had to ask the housekeeping lady to let us in as key wasn’t working.

having a bar at your doorstep is pretty good. lots of cool furnishings in pub area.

We were in bedroom three above the kitchen. There is a Waitrose at the back of the Red Lion and lorries start unloading at about 5.30am. I’m a light sleeper so it wasn’t great for me.

We had dinner with a friend and all three of us had large tasty meals. The staff were fabulous.

The girls in the next door room waking us when they came home at 4am, but that wasn't the hotels fault

A lovely old traditional pub with good rooms and friendly staff. Reasonably priced at £80, we travelled for a gig in Norwich and less attractive hotels in the city wanted around £200 because the Arctic Monkeys were playing!!

very dated and basic room. for the money we paid I think we’dve been totally satisfied if breakfast was included but I should imagine other rooms may be more modern than ours but it wasn’t absolutely terrible either.

lovely pub, easily accessible and no dramas checking in. Paul was very helpful and very welcoming.

I regularly stay at the Red Lion, the location is ideal for me or anyone visiting the university. The Red Lion serves one of the best continental breakfasts.

Lovely old pub situated near some pleasant walks by the river. Friendly staff and the food was amazing, both the evening meal and the breakfast.

Bedrooms in the main building has single glazed windows which means you can hear the traffic, The road fortunately wasn't to busy during our stay. The staircase to the first floor is as mentioned in some reviews is particularly steep if thats an issue.

Situated in a quiet residential part of Norwich right next to a waitrose, not much else around. Only a 10 min drive though to the city centre. The staff were very pleasant. Note this is a busy pub mainly food biased so not to rowdy. Very good food from an extensive menu .

The connecting wall to the next room must be thin - I reluctantly heard telephone conversations in the room next door, one after midnight, the follow up call at about 7am. The next resident woke me at 3 am with his snoring. 🥴

The room was one of three in the old stables at the rear of the Red Lion. Bed and pillows were especially comfortable, the room well furnished and clean. The food at the restaurant in the Red Lion was delicious and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast is served far too late

Evening meal always excellent. Breakfast is served too late to be of any use to anyone.

That I couldn't thank them properly before Ieft in the morning as there was no one there.

The staff were extremely empathetic and friendly and lent my daughter a charger for the night when we didn’t have one. It was at the end of their shifts as we arrived after 10pm but they served us with smiles and were very helpful.
