Location was great for touring the area including Lincoln. Checkin was quick and was shown the room by John the Owner who was very friendly. Nice bar area with friendly locals. Well kept range of Ales including Landlord and nice wine. Breakfast was superb. I did mention to John how he managed to make every component of the breakfast delicious! Proper local sausages as well, with good quality ingredients well cooked, and plenty of it to set us up for the day. Very much enjoyed our stay thank you

Nothing

We had planned to arrive at the Red Lion around 6pm and had booked a table for 7pm but we were running late and didnt arrive till 7pm we went straight into the pub to appologise and collect the room key's the owner was very friendly and helpful said that he had put our table booking back by half an hour as we hadn't yet arrived so not to worry. He then took us over to our rooms gave us a quick tour and left with a cheery see you when you're ready. The rooms were ideal B&B rooms for a few nights, Clean and tidy, Warm, Comfy bed, Good shower, Tea and coffee making facilities and a TV. After a quick settle in, we went over to the pub and were warmly greeted again, and taken to out table, drinks orders taken and served quickly while we browsed the food menu. Food order was taken as soon as we were ready and there was no undue waiting, the food was terrific, Hot, tasty and very good value for money, twice while we were eating we were asked if everything was alright. After the main course the dessert order was also taken quickly, and served the same way, everything was very nice and tasty.. The next morning we went over for breakfast, we walked in to the restaurant and the table that we had sat at the previous night had been layed out for us for breakfast, a glass of orange juice ready poured, Pots of tea and coffee on the table, an assortment of toasts, White, wholemeal, granary, a selection of jams and marmalade and butter, Soon after sitting down the full English was served, Sausage x2, Bacon x2, Egg, Mushrooms, Beans and fresh cooked tomatoe. again during our meal we were asked if everything was ok and if there was anything else that we wanted. perfect. As we handed our room keys back as we were leaving we were each thanked for our custom, wished a "safe journey" and "hope to see you again", over all a great experience, Thank you.

The heating went off overnight and didn't come on again until about 8.30 so the room was a little chilly when getting up and showering first thing.

me and a few friends stayed here for a night as a stop off on our way to Nottingham, John the landlord was outstanding and couldn’t do enough for us. unfortunately due to I’ll health the kitchen wasn’t open so we never sampled the food however John pointed us in the rightful direction and 5 minutes away another village with a eatery. All in all this is a lovely pub with a great landlord and friendly locals I wouldn’t hesitate to take my wife here for a break.

Stayed here for 2 nights at the weekend to visit family in Lincoln. Located in a lovely village within suitable distance from Lincoln city centre and surrounding villages. Would recommend Nocton RAF Hospital Tour. We had a twin room with fold out bed for me and my 2 kids aged 10 and 12.

Where to begin!!!! A very warm welcome from a guy who was born to do what he does in the hotel and pub industry, John was an absolute star. The room provided to us, perfect. The food for the evening superb (fish and chips like you wouldnt believe), and portion size absolutely stunning. Breakfast the next morning was just as generous and perfectly cooked!!! The atmosphere of the pub itself and the attached rooms, superb. If you want a perfect Autumn or Winter get away where you can have a great meal and a drink or two without the worry of a taxi after on a cold evening, this is the place for you. It's also well located for most attractions around the Lincoln area as well as the city itself, without having to stay in the city and it's boarding costs. Which brings me onto value for money, second to none... To sum it up perfectly, we had to come to this part of the world on business and probably wouldn't have had a reason to come to that part of the world again in the near future. Now we do, as we will be back to see John and family again without question!!!

N/A

The bed was nice and big the sheets very soft. The area is very quiet and picturesque, it was excellent.

The lighting was very soft, which is nice in a way as it's calming, but difficult if you need a bit of light i.e. to do make up, or to eat.

My son was harvesting his field trial potatoes (he's a PhD student) and I came to help. We were double booked elsewhere and the landlord recommended the Red Lion instead. We had such a comfortable overnight stay: John the landlord was so kind and helpful, even doing early breakfast for us. The evening meal was really good and the breakfast was great too. Our room was clean, comfortable and newly done out. We felt it was brilliant value and would happily stay there again.

Ummm.... all I can think of is that the beds scooted away from the headboards a bit. Just a very minor point.

Super clean, quiet, rustic, warm and lovely people, nice breakfast too. It is a rewarding feeling when breakfast is made for you instead of those industrial buffet you have at a chain hotel. Reasonable priced.

Nothing I can think of. The stay was too short but we will certainly have another go in the future.

All the staff were lovely and our new favourite landlord, John, was the perfect host. The food was really good and the beer well kept. The rooms are separate from the actual pub, just across the car park, and are larger and quieter than those we have stayed in elsewhere. Dunston itself is a lovely quiet village, a short drive from Lincoln. We will be back!

Excellent Breakfast. Location suited us fine. Fish & chips on a Friday night is a must. Superbly cooked and excellent portions. John the host is very obliging and it seems he cannot do enough to keep you happy.
