very friendly staff - superb location in stunning Cotswolds scenery - excellent food, well prepared, plenty of it and full of flavour.

David United Kingdom

Exactly what we wanted. Perfect location, excellent service, great rooms, exceptional food and staff that really went above and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble.

Nicola United Kingdom

The property was amazing. It has a lovely atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door, you feel welcome. The decor is beautiful and the garden and outside seating area is a lovely feature with plenty of parking. The bedrooms and ensuite facilities were lovely with the added luxury of big soft white bath towels and Molton Brown toiletries. Hair dryer in the room and plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobe. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room with added biscuits! The bed and pillows were super comfy, I’ll miss them tonight when sleeping in our own bed! We ate lunch, dinner and breakfast and all the meal were delicious. The bar and restaurant area match the rest of the review 10/10.

High score for Long Compton

Real Ales, fine wines, superb food and a warm welcome await from your hosts, Sarah and Lisa. The interior retains an old world charm, with log fires, stone walls and oak beams.

The Red Lion is a Grade 2 listed stone-built coaching inn dating from 1748, located in an area of outstanding natural beauty and well situated for Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick, Oxford and The Cotswolds.

As you step into The Red Lion you will be charmed by the original character and the relaxed atmosphere. There is a pretty garden and en suite bedrooms.

The Red Lion offers a creative seasonal menu, which changes regularly and has an AA Red Rosette. Much more than pub food, it has a creative brasserie style and serves locally sourced, fresh food.

The Red Lion features in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2010 and the Michelin 'Eating out in Pubs’ guide 2010.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

The Red Lion Inn has been welcoming Booking.com guests since 30 Jun 2006.

  • Would we able to bring our dog with us?
    We are extremely dog friendly so the answer in short is yes. We do charge an additional £10.00 per night for dogs to stay and dogs are welcome in the rooms, bar and restaurant areas. Please do let us know if you are planning to bring them and we'll arrange for an alternative throw on the bed along with a dog bowl, towel and biscuit
