The pub itself is really old and dated, but thats fine. Waited ages for dinner in the pub (over an hour) and eventually had to go and ask the staff to check where it was as the kids were starving after a long day and others who had ordered after us were served food 20 minutes or more before us. The room was large however the walls were thin and we were awoken at 12pm by noise from the pub downstairs. It finaly died down at 1am after we could hear everyone say goodby 50 times. The bathroom was a shambles, a macerator toilet that was so loud you couldn't flush it at night and a shower that took over 10 mins to warm up and then literally dribbled out, if you have long hair you'll be in there for an hour trying to rinse it! We were asked to order breakfast the night before which was fine, so we got ourselves ready for 8:30am as we had advised and went down to an empty locked up pub. A 45 minute wait later, the staff finally turned up and began to open up, we then had to wait for it to be cooked so by the time it arrived the kids were starving - again. Its unfortunate as the lady working behing the bar in the evening was lovely.

No hot water in the shower. Loud music played past 11pm. Bed was not comfortable. Breakfast definitely wasn’t worth over 30 min wait.

It’s ok if you are on a budget, location was good, room was a lot smaller than the picture I had to walk sideways to get to the bathroom. Could do with some TLC the paintwork is tired and shower quite small. As for cleaning, webs on the ceiling and dust over the room lamps. When the cook came in you could hear the start up of the fans early in the morning. First morning breakfast was late should of been 8-10 but opened at 0820. One of the breakfast staff was shouted at by the cook a few times and she kept getting orders wrong. Second morning a lot more organised. Overall as I said if your on a budget then it’s ok, one thing very positive is the food.

Poor stay in a tired scruffy hotel
Very scruffy room with damp patch on the ceiling, cobwebs all over the walls, and mould and limescale in the bathroom. Creaky bed. Feeble thin window blind that barely blocked out any light, also a big gap under the door that let in light from the corridor. Breakfast service was very slow and the food was poor. Nice fresh new towels and the staff were friendly at least! Would not recommend this hotel.

The accommodation was vlean and modern even though the pub itself is probably over 100 years old. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and I would happily recommend Thd Red Lion as a base to explore south Dorset.

Great location close to Durdle Door and the room itself was kept well and clean. Highlight was amazing breakfast and proximity to the pub and open spaces. Straightforward check-in procedure that was very quick and enabled us to enjoy our trip.
