The Red Lion Hotel is situated in the tiny hamlet of Bredwardine, which nestles on the banks of the River Wye just twelve miles from Hereford, and eight miles from Hay-on-Wye.
Built of red brick, its origins lie in the seventeenth century when it was used as a coaching inn. The lounge bears the name The Courtroom, as this is where the circuit judge of the day used to sit in judgment.
Our aim at the hotel is to provide you with a peaceful haven in the tranquil heart of England away from the hustle and bustle of work and every day life. Every effort has been made to combine this warm, congenial atmosphere with all the comforts and facilities of a modem day hotel. You will find that the Red Lion retains much of its old world charm including oak beams, and beautiful antiques, with blazing log fires through the winter months.
​The reputation of our dining-room relies on well prepared home-cooked food, using as much fresh produce as possible and cooked to order by our highly regarded chef. You can choose from a varied range of meals off our menus, whether its at breakfast, lunch time or in the evening.
