If you are wanting to stay 25 minutes from London in a quiet English Village the the excellent Red Lion is for you. Don't waste your money in London - go to the countryside and commute for 25 minutes to central London. The Red Lion is the perfect location - great country pub with excellent accomodation.

The place was ok, but the staff couldn’t have been less interested in their customers. It started with not answering the phone to get the access code for the car park, and continued with nobody being at the bar to take food orders… Room was ok, but aircon noisy.

The position of the hotel and the staff were very good. The breakfast was also satisfactory. However, the rooms are tired and old requiring significant maintence. The air conditioning was unable to adequately heat the room and the lighting was very poor. Public areas are threadbare and the toilets cleanliness not upto any reasonable standard.

Reception staffs directions to the room was over there, through the door…. No clue to which floor and which way to turn when through the door. Room looks like is was last redecorating in the early 70’s. Thought I was staying on the road below with how much noise there was through the windows. Paid £130 for the room which at very best is worth £70!! Terrible, I would never stay there again and would advise everyone to give it a very wide berth.
