Red Lion Inn

The Red Lion Inn is part of a growing trend of affordable pubs with rooms, offering a classy product and high levels of service. It is ideal for a quick country escape and is well located just five minutes from the A303, making it the perfect stop over, if you're heading further South West. The six en suite bedrooms have been tastefully decorated with muted grey hues and all boast super comfy Hypnos beds, crisp Egyptian cotton sheets, White Company toiletries and free wifi. Another nice touch is promoting the art of their friend Jackie Rennie, with paintings throughout the property - indeed if you like one enough, you can make the purchase and take it home. The food is not to be sniffed at either. Most of the ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, and the daily changing menu has garnered many accolades.
