I travelled with my teenage son for a beach competition at Poppit Sands, it was a lovely comfortable room, good location for exploring Cardigan. The staff and locals at The Red Lion were all so lovely and welcoming to us both, he enjoyed playing darts and pool with some of the regulars. He is already keen to come back and we only left this morning

The pub was a usual Saturday night crowd and fun. Don’t go if you don’t want to sleep in a room above a bar but things were quiet by 11:30. Lovely spot

Good value with modern rooms and nice pub

Couldn't really fault for the price paid. Modern and spotless. Good location for the town, and very friendly helpful staff. All good. Nice boozer too. Public parking around the corner - and its free! Downside is its often full during the day - better to wait until after 5pm if you can. There are plenty of other parking options around the town. All personal preference - but a later check out would have been nice; we are not 10am people!

We had a lovely warm welcome, the red lion was very clean lots of beers & lager's to chose from.. The room was very clean, everything you needed was there plenty of tea and coffee on the plus side there was a mini fridge, king size bed all the toiletry you need.. the shower was a good size big shower head, made a real change not to have white towels we had a light grey made a huge difference.. The hosts were brilliant, didn’t need for anything. In the evening good entertainment in the pub, we went out local to have food at the priory cafe, which was excellent only a five minute walk away where we had, Sunday roast dinner with all the trimmings good size potions. Had a lovely walk around the castle, and surrounding area, everyone friendly.. the breakfast in the morning was excellent had plenty to choose from for starters toast cereal & yogurt and orange juice.. before having a full English very good portions, couldn’t eat it all.. and also had a pot of tea for two, a lot to have for breakfast included in the price.. free parking around the corner that was the old council parking, few yards from the red lion.. we will be differently coming back again..

Room good but no breakfast and no parking

The room was large, smart and clean. Fridge had a wierd fishy smell. For me, the pub noise stopped at 11pm so OK. Parking tight - some free 6pm-8am which may be all you need but otherwise public car park at £4.60 for 24hrs and 200m walk; no info provided. I was told at check-in that breakfast is not included in the Hotels.com rate and to find my own at a local cafe.
