What guests think
At Ye Olde Red Lion, guests consistently praise the warm, welcoming staff and the quality of the pub food and breakfasts, and many also like the comfortable, characterful rooms, some set in outbuildings that provide extra space and privacy.
Some note occasional evening noise from the pub or beer garden, and a few mention bedding comfort issues or rooms that felt chilly. Cleanliness is regularly praised throughout the property. The country-pub setting suits stopovers near the M4 and visits to Newbury. Expect a characterful country-pub stay suited to relaxed stopovers and casual meals.

Nice country pub with rooms in outbuildings. As it is a pub be prepared to evening noises coming from drinking customers especially in warm days. Convenient for having a pint or two with no driving back to the hotel. Very friendly staff and a proper breakfast. Clean all around and soft bed.

We received such a friendly welcome from the owners and all the staff we encountered were very friendly and the service was excellent. We never waited long for food or a drink at the bar with the landlords really keeping an eye on things. The room we had was very large and comfortable in a cottage just outside. Good choice of food which was served to perfection. We have stayed in many pubs over the years and this may have not been the poshest but was certainly one of the most welcoming. We felt very comfortable here

Pub / restaurant/ hotel. Drinks/ plenty of choice. Food/ breakfast excellent cooked to order. Restaurant food/ good food well cooked not much choice on menu although some specials were offered. Rooms/ Clean basic, tea & coffee provided with kettle. Maid service every day WiFi not available in Rooms. We weren’t familiar with this part of the world and assumed this Hotel was in area with other similar venues, this wasn’t the case in fact it was pretty much isolated from other Pubs or shops. Overall it was a nice stay with pleasant, helpful and attentive staff.

Staying at Ye Olde Red Lion was a fun experience. It is probably the most unique place I've stayed with its blending of old, old and new and updated rooms. I would stay here again. We were in Arran Room which was very nice other than the mattress should be replaced. It is uncomfortable. The outside grounds need some cleaning and TLC, too. (There had just been a big storm/rain which might account for some of the mess and debris around the grounds.) Overall, an interesting stay with great breakfast and friendly staff.

Pub / restaurant/ hotel. Drinks/ plenty of choice. Food/ breakfast excellent cooked to order. Restaurant food/ good food well cooked not much choice on menu although some specials were offered. Rooms/ Clean basic, tea & coffee provided with kettle. Maid service every day WiFi not available in Rooms. We weren’t familiar with this part of the world and assumed this Hotel was in area with other similar venues, this wasn’t the case in fact it was pretty much isolated from other Pubs or shops. Overall it was a nice stay with pleasant, helpful and attentive staff.

I stayed at this place for one night on a business trip. The pub was very nice and the room was suitable for a one or two night stay. There was a constant droning noise in my room (Kilkenny?) that sounded like a fan or heater automatically turning on and off which was frustrating. Luckily, I always take ear plugs with me when I travel so I was able to sleep. However, it would be annoying if you were staying there longer or you didn't have ear plugs. The evening meal that I had in the pub was fantastic and the breakfast was really good and set me up for the day ahead. All in all, a good stay.
