Lovely clean, well equipped room (including a cot). Excellent breakfasts cooked to order. Fabulous range of ciders. Good food but again on the expensive side. Friendly staff knew who we were when we checked in. We got a 10% discount for staying 4 days! Fabulous location in centre of Swanage, just minutes from beach. Good parking. This is a very... More

The room was big and spacious,although a bit dark .You will hear noise but it`s part of a pub so to be expected,the tv in the room is tiny, the shower quality is decent,the room was serviced very well for three days and then it felt like someone must have been in a hurry on the fourth ? the pub...

This is a great little pub with quiet clean spacious accomodation set back in a quiet area away from the pub and high st. The landlady, bar and breakfast staff are fantastic hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Booking again for next year. More

I really liked this little B&B. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The location fantastic. My only recommendation would be to redecorate the breakfast room. It was very utilitarian and resembled a small cafateria from my school days. Otherwise a charming place and it will be where I stay for all of my future trips to Swanage. You can't... More

On arrival showed to our room by a very friendly member of staff. Room was very spacious and clean, we stayed in a twin. Towles and bedding provided was a good standard. Breakfast in the morning was plentyful and piping hot. Only stayed the one night but would go back in a shot. Also one of the rare B&B's in... More

It was not too easy to find dates when they could accommodate us, but it was worth it. Even booking was a good experience and came with a promise to "fix the weather", which... More

Not a bad pint and my partner had the Ploughmans which at £7.50 for a bit of bread and cheese with a pickled egg and a salad garnish, was merely overpriced. My so called "fish curry" was the most revolting thing I have ever been served anywhere. No sign of a curry sauce. It was a greyish-black pile of indistinguishable... More

The barman even said he didnt know the surname of the people who employed him and alas one waitress was too vocal for her own good when we tried peaceful and calmly resolve a meal problem, its a shame as its under new managemment since our last years trip when the staff and food was lovely ...i have no idea...

Stayed with friends at the Red Lion for three nights. We had eaten there in the past (and enjoyed the food) but was a bit dubious staying there given some of the patchy TripAdvisor reviews. We need not have worried – it was faultless. I am struggling to understand any of the ‘negatives’ from other reviewers. The two rooms we... More
