Just 8 miles from Lincoln, in the pretty village of Dunston, the 17th-century Red Lion inn offers comfortable en suite rooms with full English breakfasts. There is free parking and free Wi-Fi at this traditional Lincolnshire pub with beer garden. The guest rooms are located in a separate lodge in the grounds of the inn, and all have private entrances. Each room has a bathroom with shower and complementary toiletries, as well as a TV with DVD player, hairdryer and tea and coffee facilities. A home-cooked full English breakfast is served each morning. The Red Lion Dunston also serves lunch and dinner, making use of the county’s local produce including Lincolnshire red beef.
