We visited this hotel for lunch en route to our accomodation elsewhere with our 2 boys. First impressions were WOW, there has obviously been a lot of money spent here on the decor. They get bonus points for welcoming kids... The food was great, my boys had a "fish finger" sandwich - we were expecting the obvious but actually they... More

We had already booked accomodation for our three day visit and when we arrived we were appalled by the state of the place. We decided to look for somewhere else and found the Red Lion. What a stroke of luck! Excellent decor with care and attention to detail, plenty of space in the room, good food, clean and most important,... More

We were there for two nights in a row for dinner since we enjoyed it so much. Great fresh food and excellently prepared. If you would like to have a traditional roast chicken you need to call and reserve it with 48 hours of notice. I highly recommend that you do. The beer and ale selection was also great.

We were looking for a place for lunch, decided to try The Red Lion, and we were glad we did. The place was very clean, the staff very friendly, and the food excellent. We would definately recommend it for the excellent food, and will be eating there again when we next go to Wareham

There is nothing to fault, Excellent Rooms, Excellent Bars and the Restaurant far exceeded our expectations, would recommend this Hotel without hesitation

Is this place a little-known secret - because before it was taken over, I felt that the Red Lion was a place to avoid. Loved the ambiance and the food was very good. Staff charming - as... More

Lisa and her team were great from the moment we arrived... More

This is a great value Hotel, really friendly staff with no request too much trouble. Only stayed for 1 night in a fabulous room, large, well furnished and spotless with ensuite facilities. The food was also superb, well presented, well priced and very tasty. The only thing I would advise if you are a light sleeper would be to request... More

We stopped for 2 nights 8th and 9th October 2011. We asked for a quiet room and were given a lovely spacious well decorated room at the rear of the property away from the road. The furniture was eclectic and it worked well with the decor. But best of all (for me) the room had good dark curtains which were... More
