We stayed here for one night last night after aborting our second night's stay at the New Inn because it was so dreadful!
The staff at the Red Lion couldn't have been any more helpful in accommodating us and our two Border Terriers at the last minute as my husband was involved in the regatta so going home wasn't an option.
For just an extra £40 over the cost of the New Inn we had a beautiful room, that was clean, fresh, welcoming, with premium tea, coffee and hot chocolate, a lovely little hamper for the doggos and a fabulous view of the harbour.
We ate in the snug bar as we didn't want to leave the dogs in the room and the food was delicious.
Travel up and down the hill to the visitor centre in the Land Rover is free, or complementary parking is available, so no lugging your bags down and back up the hill like you need to at the New Inn.
All in all, we definitely recommend the New Inn and will be back again for next year's regatta.
