Lovely country inn
I used the Red Lion for a one night stay after attending an event in nearby East Kirkby. This is a lovely character property that feels nice and rural but is well connected by road. The room was a good size, with a 3 seater sofa, desk and chair and two chairs and small table by the window in addition to the double bed. Also, plenty of storage and a lovely view out over the garden. The bathroom could have done with a bit of TLC and the very small wall-mounted TV might have been an irritation for a longer stay (but I didn't really need it). And the enormous breakfast was delicious and certainly set me up for the drive home (and beyond).

A very pleasant stay, staff were very friendly & the food was excellent. lovely bar area & nice quiet rooms of good size. Overall a good experience, just 2 little niggles. The restaurant could have a black pepper mill as a choice, & the room TV's could be slightly larger. My compliments though.

Tradition English Pub, Good selection of Drinks and Food. The rooms are not new, as you would expect in a building of this age, but comfortable and clean. Staff and Landlord very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent and plentiful. The Bar / Lounge is traditional English countryside decor, spacious and comfortable. This is a yearly trip for me, so I will definitely be staying here next year.

Staff were very helpful and attentive. Good range of beer. I enjoyed the food. But there was too much quantity. So I had to leave some, which feels wasteful.

Has potential to be better!
This has the potential to be so much better. It needs some money spending on it and looks as though it was lovely ‘back in the day’. The staff are friendly & helpful, the people running it are pleasant enough. I’m guessing it’s brewery owned & they don’t want to spend money on it? Also, the locals seem to be happy with it. Menu very standard pub with limited vegetarian options. Food was in generous portions but was very ‘greasy cafe style’. The bathroom was extremely cold due to having no form of heating in, the room was big with 1 radiator which was insufficient for the size of the room. It needs painting, new carpet & updating a little. The sash windows could do with a vacuum to get the dead bugs out and the silicon around the shower block could do with redoing to get rid of thick black mould. 1 sachet of normal coffee with 6 decaf! It was tidy, but the bed was uncomfortable & I wasn’t very rested the next day. I feel it’s barely scraping at the 3 star ratings!

Excellent Traditional Pub accomodation
My second stay here. Generous sized rooms with good facilities. Decor a little dated but thats more down to the age and quirkyness of the building. Excellent food, beautifully cooked with large portions.
