"Really pleasantly surprised how well the Red Lion was presented. The check in desk was "oldy worldly" with a little check in window surrounded by stained glass. An old inn feel. Registration was mostly straight forward although as I had booked a double the IT system wanted to charge me for two breakfasts, but the staff realised the problem and sorted it later. I was in room number 4, Everything I needed was in the room and it was well presented, and looked clean and smart. The TV took a bit of working out and a simple instruction sheet may have helped. I was having a late afternoon lay on the bed and the music from the restaurant below was a little annoying. Could I suggest that the speaker by the fire door in the restaurant is moved or the volume reduced a little. Bed comfortable and warm. It did not look like I could turn the bedside lights off from the bed and had to hop out when it was lights out. Breakfast was Continental+, great value for £5.00. The evening meal was a delight, I have the Duck croquets and Oc Cheek pie with some seasoned potatoes and carrots. Honestly this was just divine and more people should just book a meal here if you are local and not staying overnight. Bit of a gem I would say. Kirsty and the team really looked after me. I've stopped in all the hotels in Spalding and can say that this is the best by far. Old world charm with great food in the heart of the town. The town needs a train service to Peterborough on a Sunday!"
