The Spotlight on The Red Lion Hotel

Historic Comfort Steps from Spalding Station

Modern convenience meets classic charm at The Red Lion Hotel, a beautifully refurbished 18th-century, family-run property located in the very heart of Spalding. With just 17 en-suite rooms, this hotel offers an intimate and welcoming stay, complete with flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and tea and coffee facilities. Its prime town centre location puts you just a 5-minute walk from Spalding Rail Station, making it a breeze to get to and from nearby concerts or events in the area.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're catching a show in Spalding or nearby Peterborough, this hotel is a solid pick. The central location means you're close to pubs, restaurants, and transport links—perfect for a post-show wind-down or an early morning check-out. The five-minute stroll to the train station makes post-concert travel easy, especially for those heading out the next day. While the building is historic, it’s pleasantly quiet and cozy—ideal if you’re after a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a convenient and budget-friendly base
- Solo travelers ticking off a must-see artist
- Couples enjoying a weekend escape with some live music
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
- Budget-conscious music fans who want charm without splashing out

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no 24-hour room service, you’ll find several pubs and takeaways all within walking distance for a late-night bite. The hotel does offer a hearty breakfast—perfect for recharging after a late night. Tea and coffee in every room means you can caffeinate at your own pace. For more substantial meals, local eateries are a short walk away.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a club scene here, but you will find cozy pubs and relaxed bars nearby for a pre-show pint or a nightcap. Spalding has a low-key but welcoming nightlife vibe, ideal for those not looking to party until dawn. For something livelier, Peterborough’s venues and bars are within reach by car or train.

What People Say

Guests love the central location and historic character of the building. Many mention the friendly staff and the overall value for money. The rooms are often praised for being clean and comfortable, and the free WiFi is a hit for those streaming playlists or uploading concert snaps.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can run on the smaller side, especially in a period property like this. There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, so you’ll have to explore the town for meals and drinks—but luckily, everything's close by. Also, the 10:00 AM check-out might feel a bit early after a late night, so plan accordingly.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a central, character-filled stay in Spalding with easy rail access, The Red Lion Hotel delivers comfort, charm, and convenience all in one.

Warm and welcoming.

Liked: Friendly, informative welcome. All the staff were engaging. The room was very clean. The food wasn’t to my liking but was to a good standard, my partner enjoyed his food. The pub was very busy but we heard no noise in our room. Checking out was simple and straight forward and again staff were very friendly. All in all we were very impressed.
Disliked: There is no car park attached to the premises but the staff were very helpful in giving us the postcode of the nearest car park which was very cheap and only a 2 minute walk away.

Okay for the location

Liked: The convenience of the location was good. The staff were brilliant at their jobs.
Disliked: For me personally, the beds were extremely soft and uncomfortable. Sadly the music from the pub went on alot longer after closing time and when. The staff were in there in the morning, it was quite loud.
