I stayed here for one night as I was working in the area. I telephoned the pub, and they had room availability at a fair price for B&B, so I booked. I arrived around 5.30 pm and the pub was busy. I was seen to quite fast and I ordered an evening meal which was tasty. The room had everything I needed, and I slept well. All the staff were friendly and efficient. I will use this pub again should I be working in the area.

Great spot in Epworth, right in the center! The accommodations are basic but very nice. Comfy beds and hot showers. Love this place. The staff at the Red Lion in October 2024 were very friendly and made me feel welcome.

Stayed just the one night after a wake across the road. So the location was perfect for our stay. I loved it. It’s a proper old place, down to earth, a little dated and jaded round the edges, but just my sort of place. The staff were lovely. Leslie and Annabel, who cooked and served our breakfast, were particularly friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they went above and beyond to accommodate a couple of children in our party who were fussy eaters. Our standard double room was basic and a little dated but comfortable. It was clean but required a little maintenance here and there. There are lots of rooms arranged around a central courtyard. Despite being over the bar it was very quiet. We had a comfortable stay and would book here again if we are ever in Epworth in the future.

Second stay here. Lovely place. Very good quality room at a very good price. Staff obviously busy, it being Christmas period, but helpful. Room large and warm. Clean and tidy. Great looking location, outside courtyard is soooo Dickensian! Very photogenic. If you're looking for something different and quaint this is the place. Was easy to get to Yorkshire Wildlife park from there, also not far to York city, Sheffield centre etc. Well worth it.

3 of us went for a meal on Wednesday. The pub was popular and all of the meals that came out looked delicious. It was steak and curry night but full menu was also available. We all opted for curries and a pudding each which were delicious. Staff all were very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend and will be returning.
