“My stay at The Atherstone Red Lion offered a really pleasant surprise, especially considering its value; the refurbished interiors and attentively clean rooms made for a comfortable visit. While the car park can be a tight squeeze, the genuinely helpful staff and surprisingly excellent bar food, particularly the breakfast, more than compensated. It strikes me as a solid, unpretentious choice in Atherstone.”
