This is the perfect place for a beautiful wedding. Located beside the river Wharfe in a quiet village, the Red Lion is an old, quaint village pub with amazing views and wonderful photo opportunities all around for the wedding party. A very nice suite of three rooms is available for the ceremony and the reception plus exclusive use of a delightful river terrace and we were able to put up decoratations for the rooms and the terrace ourselves. The local florist is the best ever, knew exactly what we wanted and made everywhere so beautiful.
The atmosphere all day was so relaxed, friendly and informal which was exactly what we wanted. The ceremony and the whole day were run quietly and perfectly by the family who own the hotel and their excellent staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them and absolutely nothing went wrong! The food is really great too.
There are plenty of rooms avalable for overnight stay in a mix of the hotel itself and nearby cottages, although the excellent breakfast can be taken all together in the hotel. A little expensive and some rooms are a bit small, but all are very clean and comfortable.
