Accommodation & Amenities

The Red Lion offers 4-star bed and breakfast accommodation with free parking and WiFi. Rooms include a private bathroom and bed linen, with family rooms available for larger groups. The hotel participates in sustainable practices that reduce environmental impact and supports local breweries through partnerships.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves dinner and offers a continental or à la carte breakfast with warm dishes and juice. Vegetarian breakfast options are available upon request, and the kitchen accommodates various dietary restrictions. The gastropub features a range of local ales from nearby breweries, with a menu that includes hand-rolled garlic bread and pizzas.

Location & Local Attractions

The hotel sits in Chulmleigh, 32 km from Tiverton Castle and 38 km from Castle Drogo. Dartmoor National Park and Exmoor National Park are both within driving distance, offering scenic walking trails. Exeter and Barnstaple shopping centres are a short car ride away, and Exeter International Airport is 45 km from the property.

Entertainment & Events

The Red Lion hosts regular live events on weekends, including loud music that can play until late. The bar area has an open fireplace and is dog-friendly, with a relaxed atmosphere. The gastropub is closed on Monday and Tuesday, but another pub in the village serves food on those days.

Family-Friendly & Pet Policies

Family rooms are available, and the hotel welcomes dogs in the bar and during breakfast. The property has a terrace and is non-smoking throughout. Children can stay in family rooms, and the restaurant offers vegetarian options that suit younger guests.

“My recent exploration of The Red Lion in Chulmleigh reveals a commendable spirit in navigating operational challenges, particularly evident in their adaptable approach to service. Room 4 offers a notably comfortable sleep with an exceptional shower, and the kitchen demonstrates a willingness to cater thoughtfully to dietary needs, as seen with the superb vegetarian lasagne and breakfast. The establishment fosters a welcoming atmosphere, accommodating larger groups seamlessly for meals that are both value-driven and generously portioned, even when minor culinary details, like the garlic bread, fall slightly short of expectations.”
