The Spotlight on The Red Lion Inn by Greene King Inns

Cozy Countryside Charm Just Outside Sheffield

The Red Lion Inn by Greene King Inns blends rustic charm with modern comfort in a 19th-century converted farmhouse. Located just off Junction 31 of the M1, this traditional British inn offers a peaceful stay within a short drive of Sheffield's top music venues. Expect warm hospitality, bright and elegant rooms, and crackling log fires in a cozy countryside setting.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just 20 minutes from Sheffield by car, The Red Lion Inn makes it easy to reach your gig without staying in the city bustle. After the show, return to a quieter retreat where you can wind down with a drink by the fire. Free parking is a bonus for those driving in, and the relaxed check-in time from 14:00 gives you flexibility before a show. It’s a peaceful place to sleep off the adrenaline the next morning, with check-out at 11:00.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a cost-effective base near Sheffield
Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage
Couples planning a weekend escape with a concert highlight
Fans who want a low-key, countryside spot to relax after the show
Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value and character

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant features traditional British cuisine, lighter bites, and a cozy bar serving real ales, specialty coffees, and a curated wine list. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the food is hearty and satisfying—perfect for pre- or post-show dining. Breakfast is served in the morning, ideal for late risers after a gig night.

Nightlife Options

While not in the heart of the nightlife scene, the inn’s bar has a welcoming, pub-style vibe that’s perfect for a nightcap. For those craving more action, Sheffield’s bars and clubs are just a short drive away, making this a great base for both chill and thrill.

What People Say

Guests love the warm atmosphere and charming historic details like oak beams and log fires. Reviews consistently highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the convenience of being near the M1. Many note that it's a relaxing place to come back to after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

While full of character, some rooms could use a little updating. Being outside the city center means a taxi or drive is required to reach concerts, and there’s no public transport late at night. But for those with a car, it’s a smooth and easy option.

The Bottom Line

A welcoming countryside inn with modern comforts and easy access to Sheffield’s live music scene—ideal for concert-goers who want a peaceful retreat after the show.

A surprise how nice chef...

Liked: Just a well managed nice looking and appealing and it speaks for itself when you see the number of people using this hotel that’s really gives people who come here the acceptance
Disliked: Two area 1st when travelling and find to find the actual hotel was a challenge with SAT NAV post code location does not bring you directly. Is there anyway to help us get here and then we have more time in the hotel. 2nd in our room with the lights perhaps using brighter light bulb to provide a brighter light can provide benefits

One word describes it "Excellent"

Liked: From the minute we arrived at reception, we were greeted with a smile and a lovely welcome. The room was perfect, clean, tidy and a good size. The bed was comfortable and it was just lovely. Dinner was amazing, very good for the price and breakfast was cooked to order. It says something when the lady that was on reception after our evening meal recognised us as we had been before. She told us she had been there 13 years and is now the assistant manager. She clearly loves her job and she is good at what she does. The staff were very polite, friendly and at the same time, very professional.
Disliked: Nothing at all.

Very comfortable room and bed....

Liked: Location was good Breakfast was good. Average choice of cereals, apple or orange juice, choice of pastries, fresh fruit basic selection, good range of cooked options
Disliked: Toast was burnt could have been more choice of fruit. The bathroom was a wetroom containing the toilet. The whole room was soaked following use of the shower, including the toilet and toilet paper. The single small shelf also got soaked as did anything left on it. The razor point had no where to put a razor whilst charging. There was no shaving mirror nor adequate light to see whilst shaving. After using the shower the toilet seat was soaked and the floor around the toilet was very wet.
