Sipped & Served

Join us in the pub downstairs to indulge in the perfect balance of Great British pub classics, alongside adventurous dishes that all incorporate the freshest, best-in-quality ingredients that have been locally produced, and are sustainable wherever possible.

Excellent, just excellent!

Just returned from a 3 night stay at The Red Lion, an old building which has been beautifully updated. The en suite bedroom was like a page out of Country Living magazine. Spotlessly clean with comfy bed and soft pillows, sparkling clean bathroom with lovely toiletries, fluffy white towels, bath robes and a fabulous walk in shower. All the staff were brilliant, really friendly, professional and helpful from the moment we arrived, nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the pub restaurant each night and the food was delicious. Definitely somewhere to go back to.

For those not on a Dinner package, we would recommend booking a table in advance, so we can ensure you get to enjoy our seasonally changing, thoughtfully curated, unfussy gastro menus. You can do so by contacting us or you can book online via our easy booking system.

Absolutely, however, to protect our guests who may have allergies or do not like dogs as much as us, we have a limited allocation of bedrooms that can accommodate small to medium-sized dogs.

  • Tasty treats
  • Biodegradable poop bags
  • Ceramic food and water bowl

View our full terms and conditions and dog policy.

Do you have interconnecting rooms?

Should you need a little more space, we have the facility for two sets of interconnecting rooms, ideal for those travelling as a family, or for those who like to spread out. If you are travelling with children and require additional facilities, please do let us know at the time of booking to avoid disappointment.

Due to limited availability, this option can only be booked over the phone, so please call us on +44 (0)1256 701 145 to check availability and book our interconnecting room.

Where will I find your lowest room price to book?

We make a promise that you will always find the lowest rate when booking directly through us. Simply give us a call should you find a lower price elsewhere and we will happily match this.

Can I book a stay as a gift for someone?

What a lovely idea for a gift, and the answer is yes!

Our online Gift Vouchers are the perfect present for those that deserve something extra special. The price for an overnight stay gift voucher is a fixed price, which will override any higher price point advertised on our live availability. This ensures your guest the flexibility to choose any date they wish (subject to availability), without the need to pay any additional supplements.

 

Is there a train station nearby?

Travelling by train? Our nearest train stations are Hook (10 min drive), Basingstoke, and Fleet (20 mins drive). If you’re looking for a local taxi service to pick you up from the station, we would highly recommend Footprint Taxis.

Do you have special offers or promotions?

We take great pride in providing a quality hotel experience, that matches our unfussy gastro dining reputation. Whilst we don't like the world discounting, we do occasionally offer packages that are filled with even more value. We will always offer best-available rates and offers when you book directly with us.

I'm planning this as a surprise. Can you help arrange this?

To add a little extra sparkle to those special occasions, we’re more than happy to arrange some additions to your room, ready for when you arrive. From flower bouquets and rose petals on the bed to champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. Please do get in touch with us to discuss your plans and we’ll be sure to mark the occasion perfectly!
