The staff were really good - friendly and efficient - and the food was great too. But we were there during a heatwave and our room was very hot. A fan was supplied but it didn’t make much difference and if we left the windows open loads of flies came in so sleeping was a bit uncomfortable. Not much the pub could do I guess. The bed itself was comfy though and the bathroom very clean.

Our stay at the Red Lion Hotel was very pleasant. The room was cozy, vibe in the Pub was full of energy in the evening watching sports games, and the morning breakfast was lovely. Our car broke down nearby and the owners were very supportive and helped us in every way they could to find alternatives. We really thank them for their help and appreciate their kindness.

This is a wonderful and rustic B and B. The rooms are small, but the innkeepers are wonderful and make up for any shortcoming. The food in the tavern is fantastic. Lizzie (the owner) is an angel and she saved the day for us when we could not get transportation to our event. She drove us herself!!!!

The friendly hotel where everyone smiles
A very warm welcome, greeted by very friendly staff. The room radiator wasn't working but it was fixed within a few minutes. Excellent breakfast in very comfortable surroundings. Perfect location for Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove etc. Very good value for money. Highly recommended.

Very family friendly hotel
Staff are all so friendly and welcoming. Felt very well looked after. We had dinner and breakfast here, both were very good. The room was clean with lovely fluffy towels and a reasonable size for a family of 4. Only negatives was that the roast dinner was only available till 3.30pm.

Friendly staff, lovely stay
We were given a large family room which had plenty of space for the 4 of us. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the hotel and room were both very clean throughout , breakfast was very tasty and they were very accommodating to our requests. The shower in our room was not very powerful, but it was still good enough for all of us to have showers (3 of us have long thick hair)

The Red Lion is not only inviting, it’s friendly, convenient, cosy, the food is amazing, we had ribs which had been smoked & were delicious. Service is quick & efficient. Staff are super friendly & the owner is awesome. Friendly, helpful, great sense of humour, fantastic host & nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious with a large range of choices. We had cooked which again was fresh, very tasty & even got croissants to take away for our journey home. We only stayed one night but could have stayed a lot longer. The room was lovely with a big bed & a double sofa bed for our son. It was clean & had everything we needed & more. We will be back in the future & would highly recommend staying here ☺️
