About Red Lion Coaching Inn

Ellesmere's mix of lakes, cycling routes and walking paths sits within easy reach of the Red Lion Coaching Inn, with a golf course nearby too for those who fancy a round, and the town's own pubs and restaurants just a short stroll from the door on Church Street.

The inn itself keeps its historic coaching character while offering the comforts guests actually need: en-suite bathrooms, family rooms, accessible rooms, and free WiFi throughout. A restaurant and bar serve meals on-site, with breakfast, packed lunches and kids' meals all available, plus room service and drinks brought to your door if you'd rather not move. There's a games room for downtime, a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days, and meeting rooms for those combining business with the stay.

Practical extras are covered too, with free on-site parking, 24-hour reception, luggage storage and a warm welcome for pets. Whether the plan is a day on the water, a walk out into the Shropshire countryside or simply a pint in town, the Red Lion makes a straightforward base to return to.
