"I've stayed in the accommodation at this site a few times for weeks at a time. The pub/inn itself is quite pleasant, and the staff are super friendly. The seating areas are clean and tidy, and it all feels quite homely, with a wood-burning stove glowing away (at least while I was there . I ate a few meals here, too and on all occasions, it was wonderful. The accommodation is pretty average; it certainly is not to my taste (or anyone I know, for that matter . The furniture/decor is what I would describe as tacky and low-quality (trying to be something it isn't . The rooms could do with a lick of paint and some more neutral decor; I would say the bathrooms look/feel dated, too. One of the rooms I stayed in had an electric shower, and the water pressure was very poor. Another room I stayed in (photos attached had a borderline useless over-bath shower, which wasn't practical and meant I either had to settle for a flooded floor or a shower curtain sticking to me. The shower head wasn't high enough (I'm only 176cm tall! and fell from the bracket a few times, making for a bad place to wash! Unfortunately, the rooms let the place down, as it could be much nicer if the decor weren't so distasteful and run down. Sadly, I have to say I won't be coming back and have booked a similar pub/inn nearby for my next trip to the area."

The staff were wonderful, a beautiful room. Unfortunately you need a car as it is in the middle of nowhere , but easy to find if you have a car.

Not a huge menu but what we had was very nice. Good fish choices. It would have been nice to have been asked if we wanted another drink, rather than having to get up to the bar, but that's just being picky, we were asked several times if the food was ok. So quite attentive but then left alone.

Stayed here for a night with my husband, room was nice, maybe needed a little brighter lighting but nice. But the food is all I really remember!! Great food, refined presentation, nice portions and most importantly, incredibly tasty! I had a the steak which was just awesome, and he had the pick and mix sausage and mash, the best sausages ever! Overall. A great quality meal with a lovely atmosphere, definitely going to be a customer again.

Loved the Old Red Lion. Quirky, quaint in a beautiful setting. We were there as part of a family wedding. Only thing I would say is that the chalets need a bit of tlc, bit shabby in places but nevertheless very comfy. Food was good the staff worked their socks off. It was obvious towards the end they were tired but it had been a very busy weekend for them. The young lady with dark hair specs was a delight. Thank you all for an enjoyable stay!

Really disappointed in our visit yesterday. 9 of us pre booked for a special occasion and advised in advance one was gluten free. We arrived 1.45 and they had already sold out of the only GF main on the menu and whilst they said they could cater for a GF roast, what this actually meant was they would just remove the half of the dinner (Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese and stuffing). There was only 3 X Chicken roasts left by the time we arrived however as we left we noticed them taking orders for this again. When queried they advised 'oh we found some more chicken '. For almost £20 a roast the portions were small and we left unsatisfied. The drinks orders were wrong and the children 's f...
