Red Lion

Ideal location for seeing Bakewell. Nice atmosphere, shame they stop serving food at 6pm.

Myself and my husband visited for one night, we came our motorbike, there was unfortunately no parking but plenty of parking nearby. I messaged ahead of our arrival to see if there was a possibility or checking in early due to being sweaty and wanting to freshen up after the journey, we did manage to get into the room early which was great. Fantastic room, they had thought everything, there wasn’t just tea and coffee in the room, but hot chocolate, cordial, apple and orange juice, porridge and biscuits, excellent selection. Lovely beer garden in the sun, we didn’t eat but from what we saw it all looked lovely. The staff where lovely and friendly, and they love a banter. we would definitely recommend and would stop here again if we come back.

Lovely chap that took our drinks and food order, nothing was too much trouble when asking to change a couple of things for our order. Lovely warm pub & atmosphere. The darker haired lady wasn’t quite as friendly which was a bit upsetting, sort of made you feel like she didn’t want you there and was a strain on her to communicate with you but the lovely man was so welcoming with a lovely smile and the waiter young lad dark hair was really lovely too, makes such a difference when you visit somewhere for a treat. Steak and ale pie, chips, mash and sausages were all really tasty. Sticky toffee pudding was good but unfortunately only just luke warm, crumble was good too if a little sour, could’ve done with being slightly sweeter. Would definitely return though and try some more meals from the menu.
