The receptionist was most unhelpful when we enquired about parking. We were advised to park (illegally) in the loading zone at the entrance, then later told to go to the hotel carpark, which we found locked and full. Then tried public car parks which were full, and finally returned to the illegal park at the front of the hotel. Eventually, after we had dined, we found space in a public car park - just as well I don't drink! All the other staff we encountered were wonderful.

I booked this hotel due to its attractive exterior and the claim on your website that parking was available. Upon arrival, I discovered that parking was “not available”. Additionally, the room assigned to me was on a steep incline, even causing the bed to tilt. I can provide photos if desired. The carpet was stained with dark spots, and the window overlooked a very dirty, small inner courtyard. While the exterior is undeniably beautiful, the interior is certainly not worth the 245,75 euros I paid. I believe a more appropriate price would be around 120,00 euros.

Great location dating back to the early 1200s, and with room layout and motif matching its historical timeframe as much as possible, while still having modern conveniences.

Dated hotel, very hot, noisy, awful service
I stayed for one night. The weather was warm but not hot, however the room temp was ridiculous. There is no air con in the room (not a surprise given the age of the property) and only a fan to cool the room down. I had to have the window open all night which lead to lots of noise and made it terrible to sleep. On top of that the key card didn't work on my room, not once, twice. The staff said "oh yeah we know there's issues with that door" as he worked away at the lock with a screwdriver. Clearly the management don't actually care, otherwise they would get the lock fixed given the staff know about the lock issue for ages. Then at breakfast they ran out of coffee and I had to wait 20mins to get a cup full of bits, horrible. There were the normal silver platters out for breakfast but they were empty. No-one told me the servers took your order. So I waited for 25mins (minus any coffee) waiting for someone to take my order. It then took another 10mins to get my breakfast which was incredibly salty. Overall, a terrible experience.

I very much liked my stay at the Red Lion, however I was a little disappointed about my room, from the photos it seemed quite modern but it wasn’t, however there was good food options for breakfast as well as dinner. There was a very good bar as well and very friendly staff.

The hotel did not notify me(no emails no messages on Expedia) that there was a wedding hosted in the hotel, the staff kept saying nothing they will do at the moment. Loud music continued until 12am. Not very clean but worth the price…. Staff at the concierge was friendly. The garden was nice.
