Charming, small inn
Charming, small inn. Next to very pretty church. Tasty and filling breakfast included. Looks newly redecorated. My room faced onto the car park, and had quite low ceilings… but my colleague’s room seemed to have lovely tall ceilings, and old beams. Pillows were a bit lumpy, and the room was quite chilly overnight.

Lovely stay. Delightful pub.
Lovely stay at The Red Lion.
The apartment was delightful and the perfect place to stay before a day in Exeter.
The pub is very dog friendly and our 2 pups were made to feel very welcome.
The apartment was spacious and very comfortable.
Breakfast was delicious too.
I would definitely stay again and recommend the Red Lion to everyone.

This hotel is in an ideal rural location, with nice walks nearby. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed the home-made biscuits with the good selection of in-room teas and coffee. The food here was delicious, and the staff are friendly, efficient and welcoming.
