On first impressions this inn is not very pleasant. The pub below is popular and therefore at night it can get quite loud, which is to be expected especially on a weekend. The staff are polite and friendly and the room was very clean. The beds are comfortable and allowed for a good sleep. This stay suited us well as we were not doing to be using the room throughout the days. Really appreciated having a set separate entrance and exist with our own provided key. Would stay again

The rooms here are good, but like the rest of Cardigan, stick to the road! if you’ve ever seen American Wolf in London this is the place for you as Cardigan is for the locals. A little bit strange in the Zoo but the room was lovely, we actually had our best night’s sleep in Wales here to be honest so it’s not too bad👍 just Cardigan is tired and odd - rejuvenation is needed in the whole town

After losing my husband in 2021, this was my first solo mini break. I choose Cardigan as it was somewhere we'd never been ( The Gower was one of our favourite mini holiday destinations, and my mother lives in North Wales - so I went for bang in the middle! Asked my hotel manager where the best place to watch the football and he suggested The Red Lion. When I finally found it ( in the end I parked by the Leisure Centre and used Google maps to walk there) I was apprehensive about going into a pub on my own - I know old fashioned but that's how I was brought up. Took a deep breath and opened the door. Obviously a freezing cold night in Feb had kept people at home, but the locals were all sat at the bar. I'd planned to sit in the corner, watch the game and then skidaddle! I was greeted by the chaps at the bar Before I'd be given my drink by Row, the lovely barmaid, a stool was placed behind me and I was invited to watch the game with the locals! It really put me at my ease if I'm honest. I've been struggling so much my hubby passed away, just the loneliness of it all, even though I have three smashing grown-up kids. We all sat chatting about why I'd chosen Cardigan etc. Felt like I was one of the locals! Let's gloss over the football result... But apart from that I had a great night. Nursed my beer as long as possible then hit the lemonade ( although I was offered a lift in the morning to pick my car up if needed) I think I finally left about closing time with invites to go back to Birthday parties and meet up for lunch when I'm down again. All the nerves from the beginning at the evening gone. Row, Mark and Andrea were so friendly. You will never know how brilliant you were that evening with this lonely woman. .

We booked at the last minute and stayed for one night. The room was comfortable, clean and the ensuite had a fantastic shower. In the morning we had a huge freshly cooked full English breakfast and Tina the cook was very attentive. Excellent value for money and a free car park 2minutes away.

If you want to sleep then maybe this pub is not for you. Staff were really nice and although breakfast was delicious, it was very disorganised. The noise from the bar area can continue until at least 1.30am. It was quite impossible to sleep until after 1.30am. Just take into account when booking that it is a pub and there will be noise from the bar area. If you really need your sleep this pub is not for you. One consolation it wasn't expensive

Quando siamo arrivati, l'ingresso tramite il pub on era certo tra i più invitanti, tutti a bere, schiamazzi, risate ecc. Quando però abbiamo salito le scale per andare alle camere siamo entrati in un altro mondo, tutto nuovo, pulito, camera molto grande e ben accessiorata. Ottima, colazione un po' minima ma solo perchè tutta basata su english breakfast, che noi non abbiamo fatto.

Stayed one night with friends while doing the Wales Coast Path. Very friendly staff, nice decent sized rooms and a good traditional breakfast. They don't currently do evening meals and there are not many evening eating places in Cardigan, so best to do a bit of research and book a table somewhere. There is a free car park close by. The pub is good for a drink and reasonable. A nice touch was the fresh milk in a little fridge in each room for making nice tea

Stayed on a Friday night - loud pulsating music until 1.30 with punters singing along. The bedroom was unusable - couldn’t hear tv and the whole room vibrated. Bathroom mouldy and dirty. Bedroom furniture tired. The manager has ignored our complaint- we complained in the morning but assistant manager said she couldn’t deal with it but manager would phone us - she didn’t. Despite leaving messages and emailing our complaint four weeks later we’ve heard nothing from the hotel.

I had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend stay down here at the Red Lion, the staff and the locals are all nice & friendly, it's the only place in town that you can watch all the sports in, I particularly liked being able to see some of the golf while I was down, the room exceeded my expectations with an amazing en suite bathroom, comfy bed, tea/coffee facilities & a decent flat screen telly, I Would happily come back here again!! Thanks guys!

I stayed here with my wife for 2 nights a couple of weeks ago , and I must admit I wasn’t sure what it would be like . But I must say we were very impressed with the rooms that were spotless and had beautiful bathrooms . The bed was really comfy and we had a mini fridge that had fresh milk and bottles of water in it . There was also an electric fan that was good as the weather was very warm when we were staying . We found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful as well and we had breakfast both days and that was a nice way to start our days . It is a working pub as well which is an added bonus . But we never heard any noise in our room . Thanks to all at the Red Lion Cardigan we would definitely recommend your hotel and hope to visit again . Ian from Glasgow

One of or if not the best hotel I’ve stayed in for work. An absolutely brilliant host. Breakfast is really nice too. Claire is a excellent host who is really warm and welcoming. A very lovely lady. A traditional pub set aside. Charleys a sort !! Thank you for your warm welcoming and your fantastic breakfast. We hope to see you in the near future. Hope all goes well. Bristol boys

We stayed for a night at the Red Lion which had very clean, tidy and contemporary bedrooms. The bed was extremely comfortable and the en-suite shower was great. Breakfast was freshly cooked and we couldn't fault the stay. Would happily recommend and would return when next in the area.

On arrival we were not sure where to park as the pub is located in an area of narrow one way streets. I stopped outside and my wife went in to seek guidance. A gentleman came out and pointed down there. It is on a public pay and display next to the river. It did give us a feeling of not being ideal security wise. Only £2.8 for 24 hours, so no problem. We took our luggage a short walk to the Red Lion and a lady showed us to our room. This had been recently refurbished and was excellent and deserved 5/5. I am a light sleeper and was woken by a compressor that kept kicking in throughout the night. Also strangely, the landing light, which is on a motion sensor kept turn on when I turned in the bed. We had booked breakfast for 8:30 and we’re met by the gentleman who cooked it. It was delivered in good time and was fine. We finished eating the cooked breakfast and plates were collecvery promptly. Before we had a chance for toast or any fruit, it was cleared away whilst we were still sat at the table.I would have raised these issues on checkout if there had been anybody to speak to.

We enjoyed our short stay at the Red Lion. The staff were helpful and we were amazed to find such luxurious accommodation upstairs. The bed was enormous, the bathroom was a large size, and there was everything we needed including lots of storage space. Downstairs there is a sports bar. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and didn't find the noise a problem in our room. The wifi was a bit flakey. Breakfast was generous and tasty. Parking is in a public car park about 3 mins' walk away: £2.50, no change given. This B&B would make a good base for a longer visit.

loud, noisy drunkards were drinking there, a bit intimadating. Music thats REALLY loud. Didn't know they did food as it looks more like a bar, not a place I'd choose to eat. All a bit grubby and sticky and too noisy. Staff were friendly enough though. Not my kind of place

Escondido en la vuelta de la esquina de la Plaza de autobús en bahías Finch, el Red Lion es un lugar favorito de mina para entrar para rápido pinta de cask cervezas locales con aire acondicionado entre conexiones de autobús. Una mesa de billar y dardos proporciona entretenimiento adicional. Un nuevo propietario se está actualizando el pub y añadiendo habitaciones para los huéspedes.

The lady who took my order was abrupt and did not have a friendly manner. We found Express Fish and Chips expensive and the food was below par. Our order was a takeaway order, and despite asking for salt and vinegar on the chips, there was none. Fortunately, I checked the order before leaving, as some of the food was missing. There was no apology, and our food (£33 for four people) was merely placed on the counter. It was far too much to carry, and I had to ask for a bag. We wouldn't return.

Absolutely shocking service. The attitude on the person who has just served us was appalling !!!!! I don’t think she’d appreciate being treated in the same way. Practically threw the food at us and that wasn’t before stalling everything on the counter. Clearly everything was an issue. Sadly she didn’t wear a name badge but looking at previous complaints the manager has the same bad attitude so I’m guessing it was her. I have written a complaint to their head office and I hope she is reprimanded. In such a pandemic she is lucky to still be in employment. I won’t be calling again.

I was severed today by a very charming, customer service focused employee at this Costa. She has served me before and as ever never fails to impress, Lisa is definitely an asset to Costa and indeed this Costa store in Aberystwyth. Thank you Lisa, keep up the fantastic work.
