Well run, the land lord is a genuine and nice guy. He runs his ship with precision. All staff know their thier role and it runs like clockwork. Very popular for dining, food was amazing. Large acommodation rooms and ample beverages. Linen smells gorgeous and everything is catered for. Janet the bar maid was funny and friendly. Cannot recommend this... More

Our stay at the Red Lion was friendly and cosy, much as other posters have said. The value cannot be beaten. The rooms are a little tired perhaps and when booking, ask for an en suite room, otherwise comfort breaks in the night and showers are down the corridor. Mike and his staff go out of their way to ensure... More

Very friendly hotel and pub. Food is good at a very reasonable price and all the staff make you feel welcome. We have stayed here about 4 or 5 times now and it always feels very homely. It is a very busy pub, serving meals, but food was served without much delay. No complaints whatsoever.

Whenever we have a family birthday to celebrate the Red Lion, Ellesmere is always our choice of venue. The landlord and all the staff are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Service is excellent, portion sizes are hugh, menu varied and the price is fantastic. The mixed grills are out of this world. Have also been here for... More

Mike the Landlord treated me to a pint on my arrival and young Barry then checked me in, then helped me with my bags etc. The room was warm, pleasant and functional - all I expected and I found out later the bed was very comfortable. I had a sirloin steak with home made chips - the steak was succulent... More

Seems like something from the 60's. room was very out dated and had sheets and blankets, instead of a duvet with a bedspread that felt dirty and a mattress well in need of replacement. Room was above the bar which stayed noisy until 11 pm. Food cheap but ok. People were very friendly.

Good value for money and great breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful and very close to the mere. On the downside it's VERY close to the church so the bells rang on the hour, every hour all through the night......

Our meal was terrible. Very disappointing as this was the first time we have had a bad meal at the Red Lion. It was meant to be a family meal with two children. This was made worse by having to pay the extra cost for a christmas meal.
