AA Red Rosette gastropub in a Grade II listed 1748 coaching inn - Cotswolds

Rooms & Accommodations

The Red Lion Inn offers individually styled rooms in a Grade II listed stone-built coaching inn that dates from 1748. Guests can choose from rooms named Rosie, Ruby, Daisy, and Bella, each with Molton Brown toiletries and homemade shortbread. Pet-friendly rooms include dog bowls, towels, and throws for the bed, plus a dedicated dog menu.

Dining & Drinks

The inn's seasonal menu changes regularly and holds an AA Red Rosette for culinary excellence. Meals use locally sourced, fresh ingredients and are served in a brasserie style, not standard pub food. The bar stocks real ales from Hook Norton Brewery, fine wines, and is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2010 and Michelin 'Eating out in Pubs' guide 2010.

Set in Long Compton within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the inn is 10 minutes from the Rollright Stones prehistoric stone circle. Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a short drive away, as are Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, and Oxford. The hotel also provides local insights and recommendations for exploring the Cotswolds region.

Family & Pet-Friendly Amenities

The inn has a large garden with outdoor play equipment for children and a dedicated play area. Dogs are welcome in the bar and garden, with pet bowls, dog treats, and a special dog menu available. The property also offers kids' outdoor play equipment, a children's play area, and family-friendly seating in the restaurant.

Entertainment & Activities

Guests can play billiards, darts, and use the games room inside the inn. The pub hosts charity quiz nights every other Sunday evening, creating a community-focused atmosphere. The garden features outdoor furniture, a sun terrace, and ample space for socialising.

“The Red Lion Inn genuinely feels like a Cotswold treasure, where the attentive staff and the genuinely delicious, thoughtfully presented food make one feel exceptionally welcomed.
