Red Lion - A 15th-century inn with rustic charm, locally sourced dining, and proximity to Exeter

Red Lion is a picturesque 15th-century National Trust building located in Broadclyst, featuring inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, and a secluded beer garden. The inn offers double rooms and a two-bedroom apartment, each equipped with private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and garden views. A full English breakfast is served using locally sourced ingredients, and the on-site restaurant specializes in seasonal dishes, including roasted West Country beef, Exmoor burgers, and homemade fish pies. The Red Lion provides an ideal venue for gatherings, with a large car park and proximity to Killerton House (3.2 km), Exeter International Airport (5 km), and the city center (15-minute drive).

Pros

The 15th-century building retains historic features like inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams.

The restaurant emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, including meats, cheeses, and seasonal produce.

Proximity to Killerton House, Exeter Airport, and walking/cycling trails.

Family-friendly with a children's menu and light eater options.

Large car park accommodates groups and events.

Cons

Limited dining hours on holidays (e.g., last orders at 6:30 PM on Christmas Eve).

No spa or fitness facilities on-site.

“The Red Lion, in my opinion, delivers authentic English charm with its traditional pub setting and exceptionally friendly staff. I found the value to be a true highlight, from the plentiful and pleasing restaurant menu to the thoughtfully equipped rooms, even including homemade biscuits. Its location just off the M5 provides both quiet and convenience for travellers.”
