The Red Lion Newbrough, Northumberland, NE47 5AR

  • 6 bedrooms

Comfortable rooms on the doorstep of Hadrian’s Wall

The Red Lion sits in the pretty Northumberland village of Newbrough and is the sort of country inn that feels made for exploring Hadrian’s Wall. Log fires, local real ales, excellent Tripadvisor reviews and freshly prepared food give the pub plenty of appeal, while six en-suite bedrooms provide a comfortable retreat. Its village setting puts guests around four miles from Hadrian’s Wall, while historic Hexham, Chesters Roman Fort, Housesteads and Vindolanda are all within easy reach. Walkers and cyclists are particularly well placed for nearby adventures.

Bedrooms

The Red Lion has six individually styled en-suite bedrooms, each a comfortable base for exploring Northumberland and Hadrian’s Wall. Choose from doubles to flexible twin/double rooms, alongside a larger family room. To book a dog friendly room please select a designated pet-friendly bedroom – additional charges apply. With Hadrian’s Wall country waiting beyond the village, these are rooms designed for comfortable nights after days spent walking, cycling and sightseeing – with the added pleasure of a proper pub downstairs.

Food & Drink

Food is an important part of any stay at The Red Lion, with the pub concentrating on freshly prepared, home-cooked dishes rather than overcomplicated dining. Comforting favourites sit alongside seasonal dishes, while Sunday lunch is another reason to linger longer. At the bar, expect local real ales, beers and a well-stocked wine cellar, best enjoyed beside one of the log fires after a long walk. The atmosphere remains reassuringly that of a village inn.
