Red Lion Hotel (Hotel)
If you're planning to spend the festive season away from home, where better to enjoy traditional celebrations than in a traditional English inn?
Our hotels are located in the most beautiful parts of the country and there are over 50 fascinating and atmospheric properties to choose from. Treat yourself to the perfect English Christmas - with all the trimmings - courtesy of Old English Inns.
The Red Lion Hotel Fareham sits in the heart of the Hampshire Town of Fareham with easy access via the M27 Junction 11 to Portsmouth, Southsea, Havant, Southampton, Eastleigh, Gosport. The Red Lion Hotel has been welcoming guests since 1736, when it was first recorded as a coaching inn. As a substantial and well-found inn, the Red Lion saw plenty of custom not just from travellers on the Portsmouth-Southampton road but also from sea captains whose ships were being unloaded and turned round at the town's quay alike. The Red Lion is also convenient for the business parks at Segensworth, Whiteley, Solent Business Park, Kites Croft, Cams Hall and Broadcut. We are also within close proximity to Southampton International Airport and the Continental Ferry Port at Portsmouth. The hotel is close to whole array of local attractions - Gun Warf Quays shopping centre (Portsmouth), West Quay shopping centre (Southampton), Whiteley Outlet Shopping Village, Marwell Zoo, Paulton's Park and the famous waters of the Solent and Portsmouth historic dock yards.
Then why not come back and sample another of our inns to see in the New Year?
Raise a glass to 2012 and then stay the night in the comfort of Old English Inns.
