- DSDr SSep 20, 20261.0Booked weeks ago for a big birthday celebration on our weekend trip to Bakewell. Confirmed by email a day before. Arrived to announce our arrival, and was greeted with a member of the bar staff simply pointing to a sign that says "no food". Told that the chef was ill, and they had tried to contact everyone with bookings. We had had no phone call despite them having our phone number. There was a cancellation email sent three hours before, but we did not see that until after the event. Aware that these things happen, but this lack of direct contact, which could easily have been made, meant that we couldn't get into any other decent place on a Saturday night, ruining our chance of properly celebrating this big birthday. Will never return and suggest the new management consider their communication policy.
- HMHayley MercerSep 18, 20265.0Perfectly placed right in the middle of Bakewell. We parked in the Bakewell bridge car park which allows overnight parking and the Red Lion is a short walk over the bridge into Bakewell. We stayed 1 night after a long walk down the Monsal Trail. We had a delicious meal Mac and Cheese and Cumberland sausage and mash. Then cocktails! 2 for £12. Our room was petite but spotlessly clean, the bathroom was gleaming. Really comfy bed and loads of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, juice and some instant porridge. We really enjoyed our nights stay and we will definitely return if we come back to Bakewell ☺️
