BUG Review
The Old Red Lion is not a public house as the name might suggest, but lovely traditional accommodation set in a quiet and quaint medieval village just a stone's throw from the castle remains. The hostel offers homely dorms and cosy common areas, a peaceful garden and home cooked vegetarian whole food making it perfect for a relaxing retreat.

I visited this beautiful old residence last year, not knowing it was an ex youth hostel. The dormitory was exellently appointed with pine, the garden was old world charm. One helped oneself to a natural breakfast in a outbuiding in the garden. The landlady was a delightful host. Everything is so picturesque, and am looking forward to returning in June

We stopped by this place to inquire and while we didn't stay, we found lovely private and shared rooms, a restored kitchen, quiet grounds, and the owner was as kind as one could be. We are saving this visit for a future trip.
