The Red Lion offers comfortable en suite rooms a cosy traditional bar with free WiFi, free parking, and flexible check-in times.

Each individually decorated en suite room has a TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

Spotlessly clean and comfortable room, lovely bed and great shower. Great location for beach and town. Excellent breakfast. The 102 bus which picks up outside the pub will take you on a sightseeing tour of country and sea to Rye, which is worth a trip. Note: empty bladder required as journey is about 1.5 hours over bumpy roads, and if you have to get off it will be in the middle of nowhere! Staff at the Red Lion are excellent, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

    Scrumptious breakfast with much variety for £9.50 per person. Wonderful to have porridge available, especially delightful for me was FRIED BREAD included in the cooked part - this is virtually unknown anywhere else!! We also enjoyed a very varied dinner, lots of tasty and good options for only £15.50, including tea, coffee and chilled water. Staff can bring you drinks from bar which you pay for, naturally.

    Arrived early evening, and was greeted by a lovely front desk clerk, who helped me check in, and immediately reserved a table for me for dinner. Staff were great, and had a nice dinner, though the restaurant was busy. Quick, good service, and a comfortable bed for the night

    This property was not as described. NO parking, NO food and the room was not in The Ship Inn. The room was kind of next door. Very strange. Most of the reviews are very good but there are two bad ones. We thought, ok you can't please everybody, but they were correct. It was pretty bad. I understand it has been taken over by a big chain. Well they need to demolish it.

    Friendly staff, amazing evening dinner menu, lovely room and they let us put our motorcycles in their garage. It was the use of the garage that made me book here. It was of utmost importance to keep my bike secure on my stay in Folkestone. I would definitely stay again.

    It was clean, comfortable, and the innkeeper Mike was a super nice fellow, willing to lend advice about amenities around town and a very pleasant conversationalist. Would go back.

    This is an "old school" guest house, not a boutique type estBlishment. Our room was an adequate size with a small but perfectly functional en-suite. The bed was comfortable. Our breakfast was just what we wanted it to be. Our hostess was lovely! Very friendly and helpful. She also recommended a great restaurant for dinner (Rosemont). The next time we need an overnight stop on our way to France, we will certainly stay here again.
