A very good stay

Lovely village pub in a beautiful spot. Evening meal was a high standard. Rooms were quite small but very nice. Common parts would benefit from a refresh

Northamptonshire Pit Stop

The Red Lion is located in the wonderful countryside of Northamptonshire. The room we stayed in was the Napoleon room which did not disappoint. The front view with sheep roaming in the field was a joy to behold. The breakfast box in the room was excellent, having had a wonderful meal the night before. The stay was memorable and a return visit is a must.

The red lion was a wonderful place to stay. The staff were friendly and it was very clean. I was worried because we were in the cottage next to the pub that it could be loud, but it wasn't at all. I slept so well and they had really comfortable beds. The shower had good water pressure and the soaps they provided were lovely. It was perfect and exactly what we expected from booking. Thanks so much - will be back :)

Shame about the poor communication issues

Lovely room (in the end) and superb meal in the evening (one of the best this year). Lively convivial bar but let down by Hotels.com not making clear only certain rooms were pet friendly which lead to a bit of a stand off when checking in. Negotiated it in the end but you don't need that sort of grief when travelling.

Sneaky Midweek Break

This is our second trip in six months to the Red Lion and we fully intend to book again. We stayed in the Napoleon room as we did on our previous trip. The only reason that I could not give an excellent review on every point was that I did not check the breakfast box in arrival only to find out the following morning that it was incomplete and only set for one guest which was disappointing when we had a big day ahead of us. However the manager was very apologetic when we told him that evening and it was a genuine miscommunication between the management and housekeeping. I am sure it would not happen as a norm. The restaurant was fabulous on both evenings and for an out of the way pub it was really busy on both evenings. I can absolutely recommend the Calves Liver….. absolutely delicious.
