the red lion hotel at hawkshaw in Bury

We loved our stay here. We were made to feel so welcome. Our room was spacious and comfy. Plenty of hot water in the bathroom. Our daughter and son-in-law came to join us for a meal which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Plenty of parking. We will definitely be back.

Great food and friendly staff. We’re so pleased that we left room for the divine desserts! Very surprised to get a discount off steak on a Saturday.

3 of us had 3 different Sunday lunches including one veggie, all superb. Great veg and potato selection, all cooked perfectly. Service friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back

The Red Lion is a great place to stay! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food and accomodation was good and they are really dog friendly.

Very welcoming staff, great food and clean and roomy bedrooms. Staff were all really helpful and it was great value for money. Very pet friendly which was a bonus!

Nice eatery ,hotel. we enjoyed our meal we had the light bite which was plenty ,did think that the chips may of been frozen but at least good quality

Went on the wine dine and duvet great value for money.. However we were renewing our wedding vows prior to check in. Unfortunately no personal service or acknowledgement of a special occasion.. Rooms were standard average b&b

Everything we wanted and desired, apart from the smell and noise of dogs cluttering the place. It .does't sit well with hygiene in a food area when dogs are seen pawing the tables and licking there bits. Please consider a more strictly controlled area that...

Well placed for a visit to Tatton show and Bridgewater, the traffic didn’t help but you can’t do anything about that. Friendly greeting and quick check in.

Lovely hotel, great food and friendly staff. The room was nicely furnished and although very warm it had everything I needed.

Hearty, delicious pub food in the restaurant, with a good range of drinks at the bar. The most welcoming, friendly service from the lovely staff. Rooms are amazing value for money; comfortable, clean and cosy. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay over the weekend...

This is a great little pub/restaurant with nice, well appointed rooms. The food is fantastic with lots of choice at reasonable prices. Large on-site free parking also. Certainly beats the large hotels in terms of atmosphere and facilities.

An old style inn with comfortable accommodation and friendly staff. Clearly popular with the locals.

The food was just warm the cheese and onion pie was VILE 🤮. Left the meal the waiter took the meal away never asked why I had left it ? 👎🏻

Overall property was great, room was fantastic and excellent value for money. Only disappointment was that the kitchen closes at 6pm on Sunday which meant I couldn't have an evening meal at the property itself which would have been my preference. Otherwise fantastic and would...

Being unfamiliar with the area - this cam us as the first listing on booking.com. I'm not usually a great fan of staying in rooms above a pub when away on business - I've been duped many times by various search engines ( with dubious...

From the moment we arrived the service we experienced was excellent. We could not have felt more welcome. The bar and restaurant team were helpful and friendly and the food served superb. I have already recommended the hotel to others

Great pub food, good portions, tasty and many homemade dishes. All of us tried different dishes and each one was great food. Favourite starter, Duck Leg & Pancakes, main was homemade steak & ale pie, then bread & butter pudding.

Lovely restaurant with attentive staff in a fabulous semi rural location. We ended up eating here on both the Friday and Saturday nights as we were so impressed after our first visit. Beautiful flaky sea bass with a creamy risotto was a personal highlight which...

A lovely environment and a relaxing stay. Food and beer too quality, room comfortable and warm. We stayed after a visit to Bury Market so it was nice to relax after all the hustle and bustle. 11am checkout gives you time to relax after breakfast....

Don't worry about a thing if you are thinking of staying here, they know how to do everything correctly.

Would highly recommend. Staff were very friendly & welcoming. Food & service was excellent. Room lovely & clean & spacious. Would definitely stay again

Mixed grill, no pork, no lamb, so not really a mixed grill. £18.95. Go up the road, to Wetherspoon's, & get it for half the price, including pork

Couldn’t have asked for more, great service, rooms, food, restaurant, comfort, all for a brilliant price. Would definitely recommend and return.

Staff were friendly & helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. Food delicious, the vegetarian breakfast was a proper alternative to the traditional. My husband missed his marmalade but apart from that no complaints! Pippin, the dog also had a great time and enjoyed all the...

Stayed with my heavily pregnant daughter to collect a new car. Very nice welcoming place, plenty of places to park in the free car park. Our twin room number 3 has plenty of space with a shower in a large bathroom. Nice toiletries shampoo, shower...

Mixed review on the room. We first stayed at this hotel years ago when all the rooms had been newly decorated, this time you could see it has now become a little tired. There was torn wallpaper, marks on the base valance sheets, hole in...

Excellent menu - a step up from your average Pub menu with fried everything! Staff extremely attentive without being invasive. A horrible wet winter Monday night but still a warm friendly atmosphere.

An overnight stop over. Surprisingly sizeable comfy family room for 2 adult and 2 child. Good dinner and breakfast..

Very disappointed with the meal processed turkey 🦃 cold vedg rancid stuffing was not special at all ,and the cost ,£95 per person came to£855 00 would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, better food at transport cafe

Loved our stay, will stay again when we need to be in the area. Friendly staff and a great bar area. Food was good. Only note would be that the bathroom in our bedroom was looking a little tired and could do with an update...

We stopped for two nights and had a poor night's sleep the first night - bed very hard, BUT the household lady put a quilt on the mattress and improved things 100%. Breakfast was great for me - granola/toast but the cooked breakfast was average,...

Visited with friends for pre Christmas meal. Excellent choice especially for one of our group who is vegetarian. The cheese and onion pie 🥧 was excellent. The cheese 🧀 board was also lovely. Only criticism staff tried to take a cup and plate away before...

Visited the Red Lion for a Xmas get together with friends and have done for the last few years. So disappointed with the Turkey toast dinner. The meat was so tough and dry. Really unpleasant and ruined the meal completely. Will not be going back.

Went with a large group of friends, the Christmas Dinner was perfect, generous portion and equally Impressive cheese board. Everyone really enjoyed the food, great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend

Very friendly staff and a really nice place to stay. Rooms are really nice and they serve good food in the bar.

I called in a couple of weeks ago with my mum who is in her 80s, this was after her hospital visit in Manchester and she wanted to relax a little before being taken home. She enjoyed that experience so when I asked her where...

Great pub to stop overnight at. Bar food in the evening was excellent. Friendly staff. Pub was dog friendly, with dog biscuits, bowls and water all to hand. Room was warm, bed was clean and comfortable. Thanks!

The Red Lion continues to produce excellent quality food, in proper portions for a decent price. What more could I ask !

Stayed for a couple of nights whilst visiting relatives. We arrived around 17:00, we received a warm welcome and were checked in quickly. The room was spacious, well set up with a generous hot drink tray with extras available on request, not that we needed...

The dilemma is... do I let everyone know how good the food is....or do I keep it to myself so I guarantee myself a table whenever I visit. Recently moved to a nearby village and came across the Red Lion on a walk. Been twice...
