Red Lion Inn

Friendly and full of local color. Clean, well-stocked rooms, and an easy walk to the main street. There was some confusion regarding whether breakfast was included, but they were very accommodating and the breakfast we did have (for a small additional fee) was excellent and convivial.

The pub and inn are nice but the staff make the place. Everyone was so welcoming and made us feel like longtime friends from the moment we arrived. We originally booked for one night but ended up staying for three, all because of the staff and locals. The rooms are perfectly clean, well heated, with a nice bathroom. The cooked breakfast was excellent with so much food that we weren't interested in eating again until the late evening. The clientele of the pub was such a welcoming group to a couple of US visitors that we were initially surprised, but we have since learned that it is just the Welsh way. The Red Lion was a random Google find for us, which will now be a lasting memory of our visit to Cardigan.

Lovely Inn. We shared with very nice local people who invited us a round of ales and pin interesting welsh sites in our physical map (because we are oldschool). Thank you very much guys!Next time we were in Cardigan we are staying in the Red Lion Inn for sure!Btw, if you have the pictures you took with these chileans, please sent them to us.

A lovely place to stay, lovely clean rooms, lovely full breakfast, very helpful staff, cheap beer, car park is free and by a very scenic river about a 30 second walk, its a local pub and the customers are very friendly, very close to the town centre

The Red Lion I thought it was a lovely place to stay. The room was warm and comfortable and if you wanted to alter the temperature in the bedroom, you could do, no problem. Massive bed and very comfortable and warm. Good size toilet and shower room, very nice. Would I recommend this place to others, yes I would without a doubt and I too am thinking of coming back again anyway. That's why I'm giving the Red Lion five stars with no regrets.

They have obviously spent money on a refurb upstairs, but a shame that some minor details weren’t followed through. …

I've never stayed at this hotel and I never would. I live on the same street as the hotel and despite being 80 yards away I can hear the music and their awful loud, noisy bar patrons until around 3.30 am some days. It's incredibly frustrating but they are not willing to do anything about it. From now on I'm reporting them EVERY SINGLE TIME I am disturbed by the noise. Eventually the council will be so sick of hearing from me all the time that they will have to do something. Close the place down I hope!I feel so bad for those trying to sleep there! And the locals say how dirty the place is. Steer clear... There is better accommodation close by.

Room is fine. Bathroom a little dirty (mould in the shower). Breakfast was nice.If you want to sleep. Don't book a room. You can hear all of the music being played in the bar, as if it was in your room.We mentioned to the staff after our first night and it was suggested they couldn't do anything about the noise. The music was played extremely loudly until the early hours.I think it is very unfair the room comes without a warning of the noise. As if we were made aware of it, we wouldn't have booked.It's a shame really. If it wasn't for the noise the room would be great value for money.Until they come up with a solution for the noise. We will not be returning

Breakfast left a lot to be desired first day no butter no side plate one tea bag in pot of tea. Cooked breakfast fine. Second morning greeted one side plate butter and jam etc but no bread. Don't think the young lady doing breakfast wanted to be there. Apart from breakfast our stop was very enjoyable the locals made us very welcome. Need to get breakfast sorted then would be five star. Would stop again if breakfast was sorted .
