Let's start with the positive; it has a nice bar area. And we have experienced some good bar food. Now the bad news. We have visited the Red Lion on a number of occasions and have found the service average at best (it was better a while back), the restaurant food was particularly forgettable (especially a turkey creation some years...

Thank you for coming to visit our pub restaurant this May. I am sorry that we appear to have upset you as I see you have gone out of your way to post two separate similar reviews on both our restaurant and our accommodation page, despite only coming over from our nearby town of Saffron Walden to eat rather than...

We had a great one night stay whist working at the conference centre near by. We had a lovely greeting, a comfortable nights sleep, a bit of dodgy wifi but a brilliant dinner and breakfast. Much better than staying in a soulless chain up the road and worth a visit. We will return for a few days when not working.

What would you say if you were waiting for 45 minutes to be served your food? What would you say if after all that time waiting, the food were mediocre and overpriced? This is the third time we come to this place and it will be the last. In previous occasions we thought we had been unlucky but 3 times... More

Food good and better value than accommodation. Nothing wrong with rooms just was expecting something more for price. No iron and loose tiles in bathroom. Well worth the visit but think we will return just for food some day soon.

Synopsis: - First room uncleaned since previous occupant - Bath plug in new room broken - Locked out (together with staff) for breakfast I was very disappointed in my stay at the Red Lion, particularly as I was looking forward to it. I arrived on a Sunday evening and was given a polite but lacklustre welcome (my entire stay was... More

Thank you for visiting us last Sunday. I am glad you found your (second) room clean, a good size and comfy, and the food nice/fine and the staff polite. I am sorry that we had a communication breakdown on our room cleaning and breakfast staffing. The snow did cause us a few problems but we could have managed it better.... More

We were initially pleased with the Red Lion and our accommodation. We reported a problem with no hot water - the problem was never rectified On booking, we reserved a table in the restaurant expecting a gastro pub meal, as advertised. It was only when seated at our table that we were informed the restaurant did not operate a full... More

Thank you for visiting us back in October and your review here of 1 January. I am glad that you enjoyed our place with good clean rooms in a good location, but sorry that our service let us down. Your Sunday night menu experience seems most odd as you should have been offered our full a la carte menu plus... More

My wife booked lunch at the Red Lion for my birthday on 19th Dec 2011, so naturally it was busy pre Christmas. We had our 8 month old daughter with us and were made to feel very welcome, table was laid for 3 of us including high chair. Anyway, a couple of pints of very decent beer courtesy of Woodfordes...

Great location and a beautiful restaurant with really good food. The rooms are modern and comfortable with good facilities. Unfortunately we didn't find the coffee and tea making equipment and the pole for closing the ceiling blind until we were leaving, but they were there in the wardrobe and we'd have found them if we'd looked earlier. Breakfast was very... More

We stayed for two nights in September 2011. When paying our bill, the staff suddenly amended it (and hurriedly presented us with a second receipt) to include a 50 pound fine for having a cigarette in the room (a quarter of our total bill). Granted the rooms were non smoking but there were no signs anywhere and at no time... More

As a disabled traveller (wheelchair user) the whole experience at the Red Lion, from booking, arrival, reception, and service were,from a wonderful staff team, simply outstanding. Our two night stay was a real highlight of our touring trip around the UK, and we would recommend the Inn to anyone as a delightful, comfortable and welcoming place to stay. Also, the... More
