I had the pleasure of staying at The Red Lion and right from the beginning, I was greeted with a genuinely warm and convivial welcome. Walking into the pub, I was instantly struck by its cozy and inviting atmosphere. The impressive selection of quality ales made it clear that this was a place with a serious commitment to offering a great drink selection. My room was spotlessly clean, and as soon as I settled in, I felt the comforting and homely atmosphere it exuded. It was clear that the staff took considerable care to ensure that everything was comfortable and inviting. Dining at the pub was a true delight. The menu offered an extensive range of options, and each dish was cooked and presented to an impressively high standard. The waitress who took care of my table was not only friendly, but also went above and beyond to make sure my experience was exceptional. I truly appreciated the level of attentiveness and warmth from the entire staff. Overall, my stay at The Red Lion was thoroughly enjoyable. The food and drink were exceptional, and the warmth of the staff made it an experience to remember. I'd like to extend my best wishes for success to the young couple running the establishment. I regret not asking for their names, but I hope to convey my appreciation in person next time I visit. I can say with confidence that The Red Lion will be my first choice when I return to the area. The Red Lion is nestled in the breathtakingly beautiful Northumberland countryside.

We stayed in ‘Deluxe cabins’ which were spacious and clean, but are probably due a routine refit. The mattress on the beds were not very comfortable and the shower heads badly stained. The food was very good for both evening meal and breakfast. Perfectly adequate to rest your head for a night.

First, the really good bits - the staff were very welcoming & friendly. The room in the main building was fine, bed was comfortable & clean. Grouting mouldy in bathroom but decent size & good shower, Clearly a popular village pub. But - the carpet on the stairs and landing was disgusting. The whole place needs tlc; some things would take very little effort or cost, a pot of paint and weed removal outside.

We enjoyed our stay and would return. The location is excellent - peaceful and scenic but well connected to the border towns. Breakfast and dinner were very good and helpful smiley staff made us feel welcome. A minor quibble was that our room was described as a 'superior cabin - accessible'. Sure, it was ground floor but if anyone with mobility issues was tempted to book it they would not have been able to have a bath or shower as there were no grab rails in the bathroom at all! And no wardrobe in the 'superior' cabin, just a couple of hangers on the wall. A bit limited if you were staying more than one night. But all in all a very pleasant stay and we will return if in the area.

Honest English Pub. Decent rooms, good beer, great food and cracking setting. Not trying to be something it isn't. Will be back.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Red Lion and right from the beginning, I was greeted with a genuinely warm and convivial welcome. Walking into the pub, I was instantly struck by its cozy and inviting atmosphere. The impressive selection of quality ales made it clear that this was a place with a serious commitment to offering a great drink selection. My room was spotlessly clean, and as soon as I settled in, I felt the comforting and homely atmosphere it exuded. It was clear that the staff took considerable care to ensure that everything was comfortable and inviting. Dining at the pub was a true delight. The menu offered an extensive range of options, and each dish was cooked and presented to an impressively high standard. The waitress who took care of my table was not only friendly, but also went above and beyond to make sure my experience was exceptional. I truly appreciated the level of attentiveness and warmth from the entire staff. Overall, my stay at The Red Lion was thoroughly enjoyable. The food and drink were exceptional, and the warmth of the staff made it an experience to remember. I'd like to extend my best wishes for success to the young couple running the establishment. I regret not asking for their names, but I hope to convey my appreciation in person next time I visit. I can say with confidence that The Red Lion will be my first choice when I return to the area. The Red Lion is nestled in the breathtakingly beautiful Northumberland countryside.

Dinner was delicious and high quality. Attentive and friendly staff. Quality real ale in the bar. Mix of locals and visitors. Spacious accommodations. Character and lovely atmosphere. Very dog friendly and interesting short walk nearby highlighting prehistoric and dark ages history.

First, the really good bits - the staff were very welcoming & friendly. The room in the main building was fine, bed was comfortable & clean. Grouting mouldy in bathroom but decent size & good shower, Clearly a popular village pub. But - the carpet on the stairs and landing was disgusting. The whole place needs tlc; some things would take very little effort or cost, a pot of paint and weed removal outside.
