This is a lovely pub and hotel, food has always been great, however when I took my sister and her kids there last summer we sat outside in the lovely sun, although just off the main road, the decking area is really nice. The women at the bar who took my order was rude and unhelpful and everything was just... More

First came here valentines day in 2010 for a night, with my then fiancée, to have some us time away from the kids but still in the same area. As am very nervous of something happening and not being able to get to them. The room was lovely the management was very very friendly. We enjoyed our stay that we... More

Stayed here on a business trip while visiting the 2012 Farnborough Air Show and was amazed by the quality and cleanliness of the rooms. Probably the cleanest and best maintained room I have stayed in for years. Despite being annexed to a very noisy pub, the hotel section is well soundproofed by double doors forming the kind of 'airlock' I've... More

We stayed for two nights at beginning of July as my sister was in hospital nearby giving birth! A warm welcome was made and they waited up late for us to make sure we were able to get our keys. Breakfast was great value - less than a fiver, and lots of it! Room was basic, but clean and tidy.... More

I have no idea what experience other customers feel they had but mine was absolutely fantastic! I checked in around 7:30 and the assistant manager was very helpful with printing some documents which I required for a interview for the following day! I had a mixed grill and for the price you are paying for it.....you cannot complain! All staff... More

I have stayed at the Red Lion Hotel previously and am staggered by the review by 19Badford. The rooms are clean and tidy - not 5* but then it's not 5* prices. The people in the bar are mostly people staying there and locals. None of them are threatening or aggressive - simply locals. The food is delicious and competitively... More

Stayed at this hotel with three friends as it was the closest we could get for the goodwood festival what a mistake, i urge people not to go by the look of the pictures as these were probably taken when it was built, it says recently refurbished on the sign outside this must have been 20 years ago.

Hi Diannie - you are quite correct in that the photos are totally different to our own. Blatantly an admin issue showing pictures from our namesake in Fareham. These have now been changed following recent updates. I really don't want to tackle your review on each specific point, except to defend the cleanliness issues. Our pub and rooms are all... More
