Really loved our stay here, full of character 200 year old pub in a quaint village. Very clean, welcoming friendly hosts and the food was so good with a great menu, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, something for everybody. Nothing was too much trouble, they really look after you well. I had one of the curries and as others have said, it was one of the best curries I've had out in a long time. Brilliant tasty fried breakfast, fresh fruit, including strawberries and grapes, yogurts, cereal, fruit juice, croissants, toast.

Being an older couple (70's) with knee and hip problems the stairs to our room were slightly challenging but loved our room and our stay here.

If one is looking forward to staying in perhaps the last of the inns that served the 18th century Sidmouth-Honiton turnpike, then this place is a delight. The owners have kept all the original features: narrow stair treads, low ceilings, single glazing - but brought the whole place up to 21st century ideas of comfort: thick carpets, plenty of hot water, ensuite plumbing OK, wonderfully comfortable bed, very clean. Surprisingly, the noise of a bar-full of people at full chatter on a Saturday night was inaudible in the bedroom. Veggie Full English available - and more than I could eat

Late-retiring guests made a thoughtless amount of noise, even tho' the general level of soundproofing was pretty good.

The location was good being situated just a few miles inland from Sidmouth. Quiet village with lovely scenery and nice little circular walk to take in the views. Good, friendly atmosphere in the pub.

We missed out on the chance to have breakfast which according to the reviews in the visitor book was something not to be missed! We had booked in for dinner the previous evening so it would have been helpful when we phoned the pub in advance to book a table for dinner if we had been informed that breakfast needed to be pre-booked. It certainly didn't spoil our stay but we did feel we had missed an opportunity!

A lovely location and room to match too ...but a slightly longer wait for our evening meal to be served was the only downside to our visit...but would for sure would book again if in the area...only 'pick up' was having breakfast as an option and not included in the price compared to the 2 previous local locations we had stayed at on our trip to the Southwest on the same budget...

nothing...a enjoyable stop over

Great atmosphere, clean comfortable room. Everything was great

Ceiling height, husband is 6:3 ceiling height 5:9. Not a great issue but could be mentioned in the booking info? Plus, why do the church bells ring out through the night, on the hour, quarter past the hour, half past the hour and quarter to the hour? Seems like an old tradition?

Wonderful home cooked breakfast with fresh fruit on offer. Anything we wanted we could have. Homely, comfortable pub / b&b with amazing evening menu. Family run by such cheerful , helpful and friendly team. Clean and enjoyable. In pretty village location near a church.

Nothing not to like.

The location. It was quiet. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean and had tea and coffee and complimenatry toiletries.

The ceiling was really low. No shower. Hand held shower on the bath. Couldn't stand up in the bath to use the hand held shower. Staff not engaged in conversation and not attentive.

Room was very clean and comfortable - a good size for a single. The breakfast, although an extra cost (which I knew about) was wonderful - lots of choice and freshly cooked. The landlord/lady were very friendly and you can tell that they take great pride in providing a great experience. I would thoroughly recommend the Red Lion in Sidbury. :-)

Nothing - it was all great.

It was a clean and cosy room and comfortable bed , polite owners

So many narrow stairs to climb and the ceiling was so low my partner of 5ft, 11 couldn't stand up or stand in the shower . Sweet room if your short like me .gaps in the floor boards so don't drop anything small . Over priced really , I would say £70 a night not £90.
