    You might want more breakfast choice but to be fair I think we could have arranged a cooked breakfast. The bed was a bit lumpy.

    Friendly and accommodating staff. We arrived on bikes and a safe dry place was found for them. The room was quirky, comfortable and clean and the continental breakfast was good - well thought out and presented. We ate in the pub and the food was very good, freshly cooked. The desserts were exceptional!

    Perhaps would have preferred to know the breakfast arrangements before arriving to be better able to plan.

    The pub is in a quiet village, which was what we expected, Staff were all very good, attentive and friendly. The breakfast was very good although unusually run; there was a basic continental breakfast in the rooms, which would have meant the group having breakfast separately -so we requested a cooked breakfast in the restaurant which turned out very good but they assumed we would all want a full english rather than waiting for our order - though they seemed happy enough to adjust it once we specified.

    Nothing to complain about

    The Red Lion is located in a small village, with it's own car park. The staff were very polite and friendly and made us very welcome. The accommodation was very clean and included and en suite . There was a really good menu choice. The pub was busy on the Friday night with a lovely local atmosphere.

    Listing doesn't make it abundantly clear that the bathroom was separate from the bedroom , also found out when arriving the pub was shut on a Monday and Tuesday until Tuesday afternoon so if you stay on a Sunday night and Tuesday night the cooked breakfast wouldn't be available , while this was not a massive issue as I don't particularly eat breakfast and pastries were provided it may be an issue to others

    Location was good

    The room is in a quiet building at the end of the pub, convenient for popping round in the evening for food and drinks, but also nice and quiet. The room was very imaginatively and delightfully decorated, and certainly comfortable. The village is in a picturesque, quiet loop of the Severn, so a great location for a break. Staff were very helpful and found a secure overnight location for our tandem.

    Others have said in past reviews that the bed needs replacing and it does. It seems that the advice has not been taken. There is a dirty stain on the carpet and skirting board and it gives the impression of uncleanliness (although on closer inspection the room was clean). We stayed for a wedding and walked to the venue and back - beware there is no pavement so worth a taxi if it’s dark.

    We received a warm and friendly welcome. The pastries for breakfast, milk and juice were lovely. We stayed Saturday night and heard little noise from the pub. Good quality bedding.

    Couldn't book dinner online as it was full for Mother's Day. No cooked breakfast available as the pub shuts on Monday. Posted keys through the front door when we left. Didn't fancy a shower as water came up the plug hole when you flushed the toilet. Also no plug in sink which made washing difficult.

    Close to the Severn. Nicely decorated room and comfortable bed. Not very noisy considering it was a pub. Pleasant staff.

    The bed - unfortunately it's in real need for replacement. Could feel the springs when lying down and also any movement from either of us during the night caused it to creak.

    We had such a lovely reception from the staff. The food in the restaurant of the pub was delicious. The croissants/cereals plus tea/coffee in the room was a nice touch and was unexpected. We were staying for a friend's wedding up the road so the location was perfect.

    The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us and our bikes as we were on a 3 county cycle tour. We had a lovely clean spacious room overlooking the village square. Great menu choices for the evening meal, beautifully cooked and a well set out continental breakfast which we could eat in our room.

    I don't think WiFi is available, food only available Wednesday-Sunday, pub closed on Monday. This is a village pub so the staff will have a day off, so this should be expected and allowed for.

    I like the feel of these rooms this is the second time I have stayed, it feels more like staying at home than at a hotel (That's if your home is 250 years old!!). The continental breakfast laid out in your room, with fresh milk, juices, muesli, pastries and cereals is great. You can also make yourself a filter coffee too. As this is for business travel and I leave early, this breakfast is very much appreciated. There is the added bonus of the village pub next door (However, it is closed on mondays, and food only available Wednesday - Sunday). Mark and Sally run the pub, and both have contacted or spoken to me to make sure booking is okay, which is a nice touch. Next time I stay I will aim for a Wednesday night to try the food which I'm told is excellent.
