“The Red Lion charms with its 17th-century coaching inn feel and prime spot on Adderbury's village green. I appreciate the blend of historic character-exposed oak beams and fireplaces-with a family-friendly atmosphere. Its accessibility to both Oxford and the Cotswolds makes it a worthwhile base for exploring the region.”

I stayed for two nights and found the staff very attentive, from check-in to breakfast service. the breakfast included freshly cooked items and also a selection of pastries and juices. the inn has been renovated well. I especially liked the historic touches throughout.

the wi-fi connection in my room was unreliable. i used my own data instead, a slight inconvenience. housekeeping could check the hand grip in the bathroom and the towel rail more often.

the freshly cooked breakfast was acceptable with a good choice of items.

Room 4 suffered from significant noise intrusion from the bar below. (i do appreciate it is a pub.) i could hear conversations very clearly due to poor soundproofing. This made sleeping difficult. the bed and pillows were also too firm for my liking.
