This historic coaching inn dates back to before the Civil War, and has a traditional bar, a restaurant and en suite rooms overlooking the village green. The Red Lion Hotel is south of Banbury and close to the M40 motorway. It features old oak, stone chimney pieces, intriguing low beams, narrow doors and hallways. The restaurant was once a bake house and brewery, and now serves fine English and continental cuisine. Traditional ales and fine wines are served from the cool cellars and stone vaults.
