We enjoyed our stay at the red lion. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The food was excellent, good portions. The breakfast was very good especially. Excellent choice, including smoked salmon. Good position in Fareham, near all shops and not far from the train, which we used to go to Portsmouth harbour twice. Highly recommend it.

We just felt the whole pub could do with a refurbishment. Our room and other parts of the hotel could do with a fresh coat of paint. Also the shower was quite old and was tricky to control.

The Food and location and pleasant staff. We enjoyed some nice food and the breakfast was very good value. bar and restaurant staff really nice. Location ideal for the town.

Room was very poorly lit. the main ceiling light was very dim. even with all the lights on it was very dark. to get ready to go out you couldn’t put your make up on nicely . appreciate the age and history of property but windows were swollen and had to get help to open as we needed air to circulate as the extraction fan in bathroom didn’t work and first night sleep was very uncomfortable. the condensation build up was bad. Room was pleasant but decor tired and bathroom basic with taps and shower taps cheap and tarnished and there was a lovely ganging cobweb hanging the four nights we were there. can’t say our sleep was comfortable as bed mattress lumpy. don’t think we had any heating whilst there either and no heated towel rail to air towels bearing in mind the condensation build up.

Really enjoyed the homely feeling that the placed had. It has old charm that reflects its history of being a previous coach house. The staff were amazing and looked after us. The food was brilliant as well. Recommend getting breakfast included, you won’t regret that choice. We also had the occasional dinner and this was excellent too.

Not much to dislike. We would stay here in a heartbeat in future. Some people may say it could do with a slight makeover or modernisation. We enjoy the that old charm feeling and the way we were looked after more than made up for any flash decor.

Our room was large and the beds were super comfortable. Bathroom was clean and the water was always hot. We ate breakfast at the hotel food was excellent served by equally excellent Waitresses on both days.

Our bed room was dark even with the lights on - definitely couldn’t read in bed. Stronger light bulbs and paler lamp shades would help.Bathroom definitely needed updating and for the rating of the hotel I expected more than 2 sample size shower gel by the batt. Our room was not serviced on Saturday ie beds weren’t made - bins not emptied - we had to ask at reception to get the beds made.

Location close to amenities. Food was excellent Breakfast staff first class, Bar men very helpful and funny all staff couldn't do enough. Staff on front desk arranged for a member of staff to help with my case to and from my car arriving at hotel and on the day I checked out .

Unfortunately no fault of hotel but there wasn't a lift to upper floors, which can't be put in due to being listed building, being disabled using stairs can be an issue. Not enough disabled rooms. Was informed on enquiry there is only 1 disabled room.Was unable to have a shower during stay as over bath no good for disabled people. A few rooms with a shower only would be better. Was lucky I had friends in the area who I was visiting and was able to have a shower there. The beds were also a little high struggled slightly getting in and high risk of rolling off.

Evening meal was great, with a good choice and discounts for residents, or meal deals for two, which were great value. Breakfast was also generous. Staff were very friendly, efficient and willing to please. This is an old building with plenty of character and to be enjoyed as such. There is a big car park and access to the town centre is easy from the A27

No complaints. I didn't want a characterless modern box hotel, but an old fashioned one with character and maybe some minor flaws, but I was happy with everything and the room rate for two nights was cometitive.

Staff were more than helpful and the rooms were warm and quiet. The bar was busy but had a good atmosphere. The breakfast was nice and more than enough on offer. The room rate was acceptable for the area.

The lighting in our room was quite dim especially in the bathroom. This caused my wife a slight problem when getting ready to go out when applying her make up. Perhaps a daylight lamp instead of a warm white lamp in the bathroom would help and not have any affect on power usage.

Our room was large ,very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We had breakfast in the Restaurant which was excellent and the staff greeted you with a smile and the service in the restaurant was great - well done to the lovely ladies who served us. We did not have dinner in the restaurant.

The lighting in our bedroom (room 39 ) needed improving - if you wanted to it wasn’t bright enough to read. The bathroom was clean but definitely needed updating Our room was quite noisy as we were above the entrance to the car park.

Really large, old-fashioned room with character, overlooking the street. Two comfy armchairs and a big coffee table. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast. Ample parking. Restaurant does decent inexpensive evening meals. We would very happily stay here again.

Beats from bar music came up through floor, but only faintly and this didn't bother us. Most rooms won't have this (if it would bother you, ask for one such) but we preferred our nice old style room even with this very slight drawback. Anyway, it stops at 11!
