“The Red Lion Arlingham wins points with its attentive staff and freshly prepared meals, capped off by exceptional desserts; plus, cyclists will appreciate the secure storage. However, there are hints that the rooms could benefit from more attention, so it seems management priorities lean towards the pub itself. In my opinion, this spot is ideal for pub lovers, but perhaps less so for those focused solely on the lodging.”
