Hidden Gem- Amazing Food!

Fantastic little gem of a place. Beautiful setting and rustic vibes with a friendly and hospitable welcome! Cant rate Dave the chef highly enough! The food was top tier and nothing was too much trouble! Thanks for a very enjoyable stay! Claire and Marc

8/10 Very good

Quirky room, typical uneven floors for an old building, exposed beams, nice character. Double bed was quite small, but comfortable. Full english breakfast was really good !

Very pleasant stay

Charged for drinks we did not have (my fault for not checking the itemised bill - easily rectified), large cobwebs in the bathroom and shower tray desperately needs resealing to avoid further water damage. Room 7

Amazing nice pub and hotel, super nice town!

Beautiful pub and hotel, very close to the P&R for the M1 and Silverstone. Will stay again!

8/10 Very good

The Red Lion was "going under new ownership" upon our arrival. We were the first customers. The facility was historic and quaint. The food was good although it was obvious things were just getting going. I felt safe and it was nice to be in a lovely English village for the evening. Thank you David, for your conversation and consideration.

Nice stay with very competent person in charge.

Recently under new management so has some minor teething challenges. The current interim manager was excellent but only temporary. If the full time one is half as good the hotel should be a success as it is quiet and charming. Note however the rooms are not for those with mobility issues (and frankly room 1 has so many tiny stairs it isn't for anyone!) We had room 5 which was fine (and is probably the one in the photo) We only had snacky things to eat but restaurant looked popular. Slightly off the M1 if you are travelling like we were but actually a pleasant break from the motorway mayhem. Decent continental breakfast was included and rate was excellent in comparison with others either side of motorway.
