Live band didn’t help!
The hotel was clean, the rooms were spacious enough, the only downside was a live band on outside on our first night right underneath our window, the bed and floorboards felt the vibrations and after travelling all day and wanting to sleep, we were unable to do so until the band stopped which was after 11pm. We had no prior notice of this except for a board outside, would not have stayed if we had known this was a possibility as we woke up the day after with very little sleep!

A great setup!! The area is really pretty. The food is UNBELIEVABLE…just go for that nothing else. The room was comfortable, however, it was so noisy and lots of banging doors until after midnight (on the Wednesday night), which meant little sleep was had. So if you’re going to stay and need a good nights sleep or get up early, maybe not for you. If a late start is on the cards, then maybe you can have a few drinks and enjoy the noisy environment. Staff we great and very friendly and the families and couples that come from the local area also seemed nice. All in all a very good place, just the nosiness of doors….maybe some anti-slamming or rubber pads could be fitted to make it a 5 star stay!?

Recommended!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Red Lion and the food was delicious / beers kept well too. No breakfast available but comfy and clean rooms with coffee and tea making facilities. There is a community general store to the rear of the property which is handy!

Red Lion experience
The pub is a family run concern. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the 'Open Mic' evening. The room was clean, comfortable and well reaourced - i.e coffee and tea tray.

No food on Monday or Tuesday
No food available at all on a Monday or Tuesday. No Breakfast or Evening Meal. Was hungry when I got there in the dark and had to drive to find another pub. Place is ok but I'd never stay there again.

Hi Chris, We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Unfortunately our kitchen is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. This is clearly stated on our website. Also as advertised we do not serve breakfast - the rooms are let as room only. Apart from the lack of food, I do hope the rest of your stay was good. Best regards,Alistair

Very clean. I've stayed here before but since then the rooms have had a revamp - new carpet, new shower door etc. Very comfortable.

Overnight stay.
1 night stay in preparation for our cycle race the next day. Staff friendly and helpful. Restuarant small but very nice. Helpful waitress who made several enquiries for us with regards to allergies. Meal was amazing, very tasty and very good portions. Very reasonable priced aswell. Room was decorated tastefully, ensuite shower very good and tiled throughout. Only one small problem is the under basin cabinet is too close to toilet and very difficult to get knees to sit down unless you are very small. Beds were very comfortable as were the pillows. Large car park and good / excellent outdoor areas. Outside of Red Lion building has recently been decorated making it look much better - need to update photo on hotels.com Would we stay again - most definately YES.

We would happily stay at The Red Lion again.
Nice, friendly place to stay. The food was good, some nice beer and gin. The room was clean and had a very good shower and extremely comfortable bed. We would definitely recommend The Red Lion at Kilsby and would happily stay there again.

Excellent Value - Lovely pub & food
Lovely pub & food. Can't fault it for the price. The bed was very comfortable although extra pillows would have been great. Shower room was very small & somewhat gruby so wouldn't have stayed any longer than a couple of nights for this reason but would stay again for a short break.
