Red Lion

This is a beautiful Tudor style hotel. We arrived a bit late and the general manager was super friendly and helpful. Our room was situated facing the high street which was really was great for people watching however it was a bit noisy at night when the cars would drive by. The bathroom was freezing!!! When I tried to take a shower the water was either boiling or freezing. It was very difficult. My solution was to take a bath but with the room being so cold I might have preferred to be a bit stinky. On Christmas Day, again the general manager was super nice and allowed my boyfriend to have some food despite it being after 11PM. The staff was really helpful and gave us new towels because ours were not drying. Boxing day night was the worst night there. Our heater stopped working. So the room was cold along with the bathroom. Our neighbors were horrible human beings playing cheap 80s disco music until 9AM!!! That’s right 10 fucking hours. We let the front desk know but we didn’t really get sleep between cold and the neighbors. We called the front desk and asked if we could stay later. Again, super nice and they agreed. By the way, the cold cuts we received on Christmas day were 20 quid.
