OUR WELCOME

Always a friendly face

The Red Lion is your original quintessential English pub.Nestled in the picturesque Cotswold village of Ilmington it is the heart of the village. 

​

The Landlord Andy and Landlady Dee love to see new faces always offering a warm welcome to everyone beyond their locals to walking parties, cyclists, families, parties and four legged friends. 

​

The cosy flagstone bar is the hub of the pub where you never know who you will end up chatting to. You could be entertained by Simon behind the bar with his bad jokes, regaled with stories from local farmers, meet the King of Ilmington brimming with local knowledge...or you might simply find a quiet spot to enjoy a few drinks.  

​

There are two roaring log fires during the colder months, comfy sofas and armchairs to relax in and a lovely cosy dining room set away from the bar. 

We are delighted to have received the Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence 2019. Click here to read the reviews.
