Pros:

Everything! The room was amazing, with a huge comfortable bed, nice shower, sofa in the room, as well as a desk, fan also due to it being hot. Food was outstanding.

Cons:

There literally wasn't anything that we didn't like.

A traditional gem in a delightful setting.
Pros:

The Red Lion is a traditional pub and, at first impressions, looks rather retro and basic. But the rooms are beautifully designed and the food is excellent. The staff are engaging and helpful.

Cons:

On the hottest day ever recorded, we had a fan which helped a lot. Aircon would be great but isn’t really practical. A fridge on the other hand would make the room outstanding.

A great local pub with great facilities. A recommended stopover.
Pros:

Nice compact but clean rooms with most things you need. No ironing facilities that I can find, but other than that very well equipped. The staff are super friendly and make you feel like a proper guest. A great business stay over.

Cons:

Parking can be hit and miss and there is no pub food served on a Tuesday, there are food vans, pizza, kebab etc that park out the front area of the pub on a Tuesday instead. Good quality vans though.

Nice Place To Be.
Pros:

lovely rooms, very good shower, good location for exploring Herefordshire, shame about the restaurant being closed on Monday and Tuesday, only breakfast available, ( the breakfast staff are fab),although the rooms face the road the noise levels are minimal. The rooms haven't got air con ,so with the recent heatwave we only had an electric fan, we understand the pub is soon to change hands, let's hope these issues can be addressed.

Cons:

restaurant being closed Monday and Tuesday, no aircon in rooms. shower only.
