What guests think

At Red Lion, guests consistently praise the warm, welcoming staff, excellent cooked to order breakfasts and pub dinners, and comfortable rooms that blend modern touches with historic charm, creating a cosy, characterful base that feels friendly and relaxed.

The on-site pub and dog-friendly welcome stand out, and several reviewers mention the quiet village setting with easy countryside walks and convenient stopovers for local venues or Exeter. A few note minor room quirks, such as low ceilings, lumpy pillows, or feeling chilly overnight, but cleanliness is frequently praised. Expect a relaxed, traditional inn stay.

My wife and I stayed here as we were attending a wedding at Rockbeare Manor and it's only 10-15 mins away. So glad we did.. the staff are all lovely, the pub is cosy, the accommodation fab and the food is amazing. Couldn't recommend this place enough, we only wished we'd stayed longer.

We stayed two nights at The Red Lion. A wonderful authentic old Pub with a lot of atmosphere. The food was delicious and the staff was the friendliest people. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again.

After a very busy day ant work, we drove from the midlands and arrived at the Red Lion just before check in closed at 10pm, but unfortunately the chefs had gone home so we’re unable to have a meal. Very kindly the bar staff offered to make us cheese and biscuits. The bar was cosy and warm, and when we got to the bedroom, it was clean and modern decor but still kept traditional and in keeping with the history of the building.

This was a home from home. We could not have been made to feel more welcome. After a 3.5 day drive from Corfu to walk through the doors of a friendly Great British hostelry was simply the best experience. Spacious accommodation in the Flat, plenty of room to unwind with my two dogs who were a little wound up after the long drive. A good nights sleep and the ability to run off steam in the field opposite, we all left relaxed and chilled. Pub grub was fabulous too! As I couldn’t stay for breakfast , they even went to the trouble of sending me off with a packed lunch! 😋

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.

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.
