Location and food
My mistake but didn’t realise the room wasn’t en-suite don’t know how we missed that 😆 was a pain having to dress in the night
RichardUnited KingdomGreat value for money. Good food and attentive staff.
The Red lion was a great place to stay for a couple of nights while attending a nearby show. Food was great and the staff were lovely.
There was nothing I didn’t like.
Manolo Juan PauloUnited KingdomRight price, nice cosy little place.
The price was just right, and the place was near the convent and the lake.
Not much to do in the place, but it has a nice small town vibe.
AntoinetteFranceHôtel chaleureux, en bord de route d'un petit village anglais
L'hôtel est chaleureux et très vivant. On peut y manger, et le petit déjeuner (typiquement anglais) est copieux.
Les chambres sont un peu vieillottes... Et les toilettes sont séparées.

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Red Lion Coaching Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Red Lion Coaching Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Red Lion Coaching Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Red Lion Coaching Inn?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Red Lion Coaching Inn?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Red Lion Coaching Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Red Lion Coaching Inn?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Red Lion Coaching Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Red Lion Coaching Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
