The rooms are terrible the bedding looked dirty the kettle and lamp on window sill  headboards moving .Was that bad I cancelled the 2nd night and went and brought new bedding so I could sleep.l was offered 3 rooms but equally just as bad ..The toilet has poop on seat was so bad Coulston even shower there 

Prisoners have more room 

We visited The Red Lion today for Sunday lunch all 8 of us & a little one.

The lamb & beef dinners were outstanding & plenty of food! The meat melted in my mouth. 

All our plates were cleared & finished with a dessert of course. Excellent service all around & my little girl loved her cauliflower cheese.

So good we will be returning in a couple of weeks to try the Christmas fayre Menu.

Thank you to the Red Lion team 🦁⭐️

The best Sunday lunch

We were given below standard rooms especially  the one which was for my sister and partner  with dog .duvet  had stain on 2 single beds hardly  any room for 2 people  and dog .i was on my own and i had no dog double bed looked better than their room .they had no where to hang clothes  i did have a bar with hangers at least ..they felt like second class because  of dog but payed extra £5 for dog .breakfast  cold plus door wide open so i was cold .lady serving  was not pleasant banged things down placed us once again on a table out by door not set up at all so we waited 25 mins ..

Unfriendly 

Friendly, efficient, engaging staff.  
We were catching up with relatives and a brother from Aussie who 'popped' up for lunch from Oxford.  Portions are very generous, the 16oz steak meals will feed the hungriest of people.  Smaller choices available.  We all enjoyed the food, no complaints at all.

Friendly, efficient, enaaging staff.

First time in the lovely town of Ellesmere and couldn't have picked anywhere better to stay. Four of us stayed for two nights in two rooms as we were attending a wedding close by. We arrived back late on the second night, but access is simple via a provided key and seperate entrance for guests. Food was amazing both in evening and the provided breakfast and staff are extremely friendly and attentive. 

We didn't realise what a nice place Ellesmere is, otherwise would have booked longer to explore as this is ideally placed between the Mere, town and canal. 

Limited parking is available around the back which is accessed from the main road at the front. It has a very tight access, however there is also a reasonbly priced pay and display two minutes walk down the road.

Excellent stay

My husband and I went into the pub for a drink. The staff were very good especially Kim who was very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We didn't eat on this occasion but will go back as the food  we saw looked great.

1st class

Popped in again while visiting friends. My four legged friend loves the fuss she has made of her and the doggy menu and offer of water is an added bonus.
Not many places do whitebait but they do here and it is perfect.
Kind friendly staff and food is delicious. 
I will be back again

Consistently good

i stayed in courtyard 2 which was a ensuit room at the back of the hotel in the courtyard/carpark it had a king size bed in it and also a set of full length bunk beds too. in the rooms where tv and ample storage space to hang your things in the wardrobe. there was toiletries in the ensuit shower rooms which where walk in showers. the only slight problem was the wifi was not working also to get to the rooms you had to go out of the hotel to the back of the hotel.
the food was excelent and great service too. as all of my family was staying there too. as it was  my uncles funeral and the wake was held at then hotel.

good nights sleep

Visiting family in the area, this proved to be an ideal overnight stay. As others have commented, it is indeed an old building with a need of some refurbishment. We spent a couple of hours in the bar prior to retiring, friendly service though it was pretty quiet for a Friday night. Breakfast (included) was excellent. 
Value for money overnight stay.

Value Overnight Stay

This was a very pleasant experience. The Red Lion is an old coaching Inn and the rooms are small and "tired" and in need of some TLC. The rooms do not have shower/toilet,  (shared bathroom/showers, which were spoltess) But don't let this put you off. The food was very good, well presented with huge portions (you will not leave hungry!) The ambiance in the bar/dinning area was very relaxing. It was also  very popular polace to eat, a testiment to the quality and price of the food.  I was there on Friday and Saturday evenings andf the tables were fullt booked, with 'hopeful' walk-in customers were left disappointed! The breakfast was ample and well cooked/presented, while the evening meals were excellent value for money a level above usual 'pub-grub'. The servers were helpful, friendly and very engaging without being 'over-the-top'. Because I booked on line I had B&B for £45 a night, yes - you read correctly -  £45 per night! Ok, the room was very smalll, tired and in need of TLC and there were no en-suite facilitiesand the room boasted a modern smart TV and wash basin.  I would visit again.
