Stayed here for a night some time ago but only now realised that the review we wrote didn't work! This place is BAD! It was very expensive and we were expecting much better. The whole place needed refurbishing because it was shabby and felt like something from Blackpool promenade. The room was 70s style and there was mould round the... more

I organised a reunion weekend stay for 7 friends at the Red Lion and we all enjoyed our time there. Our rooms were not particularly large but were well equipped and comfortable. The food we had there was excellent (the breakfasts are particularly generous) and the staff were cheerful and helpful. The hotel has a really friendly atmosphere. The Red... more

After reading reviews about the Red Lion being 'tired' we were very pleasantly surprised. Our top floor family room was very large and had been recently refurbished. It was very clean and had a flat screen TV with freeview, plenty of tea, coffee, biscuits, etc. and lots of room for 2 adults and 3 children. Bed very comfortable. Views from... more

Spent 4 nights with family last week. We had booked and read mixed reviews on Trip Advisor before we arrived with some trepidation. Don't believe all you read! The staff were all very helpful and friendly, we had no problem finding the hotel or parking. We were put placed in their most recently refurbished room which was spacious, warm and... more

We have just returned from a two night visit to the above hotel and am concerned that no one has to share our experience !! On our arrival, we were allocated a bedroom immediately to the rear of the hotel laundry facility. I went to reception to seek assurance that the facility would not be noisy late in the day.... more

Spent six nights at the Red Lion in Grasmere in July 2008 as base camp for exploring the Lake District by car and on foot. Grasmere is a lovely village and the Red Lion is a prominent building in it. Echoing some of the more recent comments on the three stars and under side, sadly, I think time is catching... more

Stayed for a three night mid week break. Check in was fine despite the jazz concert going on in the lounge, room was nice, clean and comfortable and bedroom was modern. Bathroom clean but old and worn. Bed was comfy and everything worked well. The pool, sauna etc was lovely. We didn't visit the attached pub. Was not cheap but... more

My wife & I have just returned from a 1 night stay at the Red Lion. We stayed arounf 4 years ago & it was fantastic. This time dare I say it but it was even better. Very relaxing! more

We have stayed at the Red Lion Hotel on a few occasions and so far haven't been disappointed. We reserved a club room (Ruskin) which was 'massive' and looked as though it had been refurbished recently, although possibly by a 'manic depressive' as not exactly colour coordinated. However, it was spotlessly clean and maybe added to the eccentricity of the... more
