About The Old Red Lion

Thame's High Street is the natural place to base yourself for exploring this part of Oxfordshire, and The Old Red Lion sits right in the middle of it. This is a traditional pub-hotel rather than a country retreat, with the bustle of the town on the doorstep and free on-site parking taking away one of the usual headaches of staying centrally.

Rooms are en-suite, and guests can expect the straightforward comforts of a working pub-hotel: breakfast, packed lunches and kids' meals are all available, along with drinks brought to the room and a snack bar for anything in between. There's a restaurant and bar on site, plus outdoor seating and a picnic area for warmer days. A spa and sauna add an unexpected touch of relaxation, and the property also offers meeting rooms and business services for anyone travelling with work in mind, along with laundry service, luggage storage and 24-hour reception.

Beyond the front door, Thame offers its own pubs, bars and restaurants within easy reach, and golf and fishing are both available nearby for those wanting to fill a day outdoors. Childcare can be arranged too, making this a practical choice for families as well as those passing through on business.
