Breakfast very good but I thought a little expensive as I don't have a full English breakfast.

Joan United Kingdom

This hotel has a lot of history but the rooms are modern and clean. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

Holly United States of America

Beautiful Comfortable Excellent value for price Food superb Staff friendly and professional

Becky United States of America

We like to stay at the Red Lion before flying out of Heathrow due to its very convenient location, and it happens that the hotel is exactly what we like when we travel. It has the character that the airport hotels lack, a really nice pub, and the food is good. The short drive to the airport means we do not stress out in traffic, particularly on the M4?M25, and we arrive relaxed and ready to travel.

Stuart United States of America

Made very welcome on checking in. The room was spacious and such a comfy bed! Breakfast was great I can’t fault it

Jonathan United Kingdom

Great room, lovely food in the evening and a really nice breakfast

Paul United Kingdom

Lovely greeting at reception, staff friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was nicely done with a good variety of choices and served promptly.

Karen United Kingdom

The staff at the Red Lion went above and beyond to make our stay the best. The room and facilities were of a very high standard and they served a fantastic breakfast.

Steven United Kingdom

Property was clean and staff very friendly! Will be going back for sure. Food was lovely.

Kevin United Kingdom

I was really pleased with both the service and the size of the room too. It was very spacious, and the pillows were amazing! Most impressive though, was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, particularly the gentleman who served me a beautiful breakfast bap on the Sunday morning. Would definitely stay here again.

    It should take around 15 to 20 minutes by car, and a taxi would probably be the best option as public transport could take nearly an hour, I hope this helps Kind regards, Daniel
