A Rich History: The Red Lion’s 16th-Century Origins
The Red Lion Ellesmere was a coaching inn in the 16th century for travellers and their horses. The building still has features such as exposed beams and doors for horses to reach the stables in the courtyard. The courtyard is now an outdoor space where guests can have a drink. There are now guest rooms in the stables that once housed the horses.
The Inn was once one of many inns in Ellesmere, but now it is one of the few remaining. Today, guests can experience the old-world charm while enjoying all the modern comforts and conveniences it has to offer.
