The Red Lion

A great stay at The Red Lion...The room was very comfortable, good bedding and toiletries provided. Very clean. A very welcome by the host too..and a tasty breakfast. Can recommend asa place to stay :)

Stopped by for dinner while passing through the area and so glad we found it. I had a chicken risotto and it was beautiful! I am normally fussy with chicken skin, but for the first time in my life I ate the whole thing as it was so tasty and crispy. My husband had the the pork belly and he said it was one of the best he’d had. The host/owner was amazing and you can tell how much he cares about his guests enjoying their stay. He knew all about his local suppliers in great detail and could offer drinks to go with the meals. He even gave me some prosecco when he found out it was my birthday. He made our evening more enjoyable with the hospitality and being made to feel welcome. Thoroughly recommend and wish I lived closer.

Nice spacious room. Lots of hot water. Comfy bed. Friendly host. Good breakfast. Perfect for walkers doing Offas Dyke. Local shops to get stocked up with toiletries and other supplies

We had a fantastic 3 nights at the Red Lion Knighton. The rooms were very good, great food and excellent hosting. Also very dog friendly, will definitely be back and the countryside is stunning.

Absolutely loved this place. Food was really superb - loved the fact that it was actually interesting rather than the usual standard rubbish you get in English pubs. The pigeon dish was truly exceptional. Nice range of local Shropshire beers too, as well as an interesting wine list. Very friendly welcome and service (think we were chatting to the owner/manager - lovely bloke with a proper interest in wine and beer), plus really nice decor. If that’s not enough, it’s also fantastic value. An absolute gem of a place! You’d be foolish not to visit if you’re in the area.

We stayed here for four nights as we walked Offa's Dyke. Neil and Cath made us very welcome with lots of helpful advice for our stay. The rooms were of a very high standard, comfy and clean with all amenities. The breakfast was excellent and the lounge area was so nice to relax in after a days walking. I really can't recommend the Red Lion enough. A very enjoyable stay.

Really lovely weekend stay. Very friendly and intimate pub, though the food is so good that the word "pub" doesn't really do it justice. Varied and well-prepared menu from a chef that is creative and clearly knows what he is doing. All produce sourced locally too which is nice. Beer variety is good too and (just as importantly) really well-kept by a bar manager who cares about these things. We stayed in room 2 which had an enormous and comfy bed, was well equipped and had a nice clean bathroom. Can't wait to come back for another visit.

We stayed for one night at this lovely b&b managed by a couple. We don’t realise it was only and b& b and not a pub so we thought we could get there in the evening and checkin in and have a drink and a meal but we found the owner had gone home as we got there after 6pm and thankfully managed to get him to come back and let us in via the door ring bell. Thank god for that! Thanks to him too! The rooms were reasonably spacious and very clean and tidy. We felt it was a bit expensive for what it was but that’s possibly due to the bank holiday weekend! The breakfast was basic but nice. We enjoyed our stay. It’s a nice basic b&b. Very nice owners

The Red Lion is a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are large, comfortable and pleasant. The downstairs dining room is available for guests to use at any time. The breakfasts are generous, and the hosts friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

An excellent one night stay while walking the Offa’s Dyke Path. Room 2 was large and super comfy. Breakfast was delicious! For dinner we dined at The Banc. Tuesday was grill night- the rump and beef burger, superb. Highly recommend both places. Knighton is a lovely village. Walk the town and check out The Horse & Jockey .
