Red Lion Hotel

Red Lion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Room was a good size and very clean, staff were very friendly. What I would say is if you don’t like to sleep in a hot room, turn the heated towel rail off immediately. There isn’t a switch as such, in my room there was a breaker switch at low level by the door. Besides that, the hotel is in a great location and plenty of parking."
