The Red Lion is an ancient building, as are many in Adderbury, and the staircases are twisty! The central heating was not working, but fan and convector heaters kept it warm, if not toasty. I had an interesting room with a bathroom that was up a full flight of stairs, so, interesting at night! A good wardrobe, which is something I like, with plenty of luggage storage space. Would I go back? Yes. Would I have the same room? Only if there was nothing else. Having said that, the room and Bathroom were good. The Shower worked well, which is frequently problematic. The Breakfast is good, with plenty of choice and of fine quality. You will not go away hungry if you eat the Full Breakfast! Could be more, better quality coffee, freshly made and hotter. The Red Lion is part of Greene King, so the menu is the same as all the Greene King hotels; I will say that there is good Chocolate ice cream. Real ale choice is limited to Greene King IPA and Speckled Hen, but both were good when I stayed. There are three other pubs in Adderbury, a Hook Norton Pub with good beer (The Bell) , a food pub which had Hooky and Landlord on while I was there. (The Pickled Ploughman) Very good food, I had superb duck breast there. The Coach and Horses is the last pub, and possibly the oldest, which is Wadworths, but the beer was indifferent at best when I visited and I cannot currently recommend it. It may be in a transitional state. The staff were extremely good and helpful with one exception. Anything that was needed was provided if possible, and help was available as necessary. Finally, an excellent, secure Car Park, but the entry is narrow, so don't expect to take your Winnebago through it. Would I stay there again? Yes, I look forward to it.
The heating was not working, so it was cold even with a convection heater. I bought a fan heater, which warmed the room up more quickly, but with everyone using heaters the electricity tripped out sometimes. This was not helped when a wall next to the car park collapsed and may have compromised the electricity supply. The upstairs bathroom was annoying rather than problematic, and it was a good bathroom. I was surprised by one thing. There were no, repeat NO, complimentary toiletries provided, no soap, shampoo, conditioner, anything. This is the first time I have stayed in a hotel, that this has happened. I always have my own, so again this was annoying rather than problematic, but it did surprise me.

Staff were friendly. The hotel itself was warm and welcoming with a very vintage feel. I was concerned that I would hear noise from both the bar and main road, but neither were any disturbance at all. The food, especially breakfast was simply superb and highly recommended.
A lot of noise generated by the floorboards on the main corridors so slight disturbance from people walking to and from their rooms, but minimal and wouldn't stop me from staying there again if I was travelling that way.

The room size was good - spacious with a sofa for relaxing on - had everything you'd need for the night - bathroom clean and also plenty of room. The restaurant had a good choice and there weren't too many choices which some hotels and chains try too hard to please everyone.
Wasn't much not to like - only downside was it could have done with a few more coffee sachets in the room and normally when I have stayed in similar businesses there normally is complementary biscuits to go with the hot drinks.

The staff were exceptionally helpful - a special mention for Daniel, who was keen to meet all our needs. The hotel is in a good location for daily travel to Cropredy festival. The room was clean and comfortable. Parking was easy and close to the entrance. Breakfast was extremely good, with a continental buffet plus a wide choice of cooked breakfast for both veggies and meaties. The two lunches we had were very good.
It was a heavy slog carrying cases to our rooms (12 & 14). Up and down several staircases and corridors. There probably isn't room to instal a lift, but perhaps the fire door closer to the rooms could be adapted? The shower was weak and took ages to warm up. The free WiFi (The Cloud) was too unreliable to be of any use in the room. £180 per night is a lot of money for an average sized room.

Here for a local wedding, my partner & I were welcomed with such kindness by the staff. The cute loft room we had was perfect. Great bathroom/bathtub and the nice firm bed gave us the best nights sleep! I would highly recommend this quaint inn for your visit. Room was very clean and loved the big TV. Special thanks to the very friendly Kirsty, who looked after all our needs and went the extra mile for us during our stay.

Beautiful rooms - very clean . Super helpful staff accommodated change of one of the rooms ( for no stairs ) Lovely fluffy towels - great shower ( powerful and did soak myself and the floor first time ! ) would highly recommend - winding staircases so for elderly guests may prefer to request suitable room in advance . Lovely food for evening meal and drink in the bar and then to bed

The staff here are amazing - so cheerful, welcoming and happy to help you.
Significant rate increase for tractor run night (double the normal). I understand that demand pushes up prices but this was a little steep. However, the host included our breakfasts in the price of the stay which was a very nice gesture and appreciated and the wonderful staff made us welcome and comfortable.

Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Room was warm and comfortable. Plenty of choice for breakfast which was well presented and cooked- there was no reason to go hungry
I really liked my room. However the floor was very uneven due to the age of the property. For me this added to the quirkiness of the property but may cause difficulties for others

Stayed for an overnight whilst travelling. The manager was very welcoming and accommodated our needs, making a table for a snack available for us. Breakfast was traditional but beautifully cooked. The waitress was excellent. The manager remembered us from the busy evening before which impressed me.
An information sheet in the bedroom about the night door and breakfast times. It was hard to remember the information given on arrival at the end of a long journey. I am allergic to plug in air fresheners. I did mention it and was advised I could have put it on the booking, not something I'd thought about.
