    Red Lion, Avebury
    by clairegeordio
    We stayed here for 1 night. It is unique as it is the only pub in the world to be located within a stone circle. It was built in the seventeenth century.
    The pub is supposed to be haunted by a woman who was murdered by her husband in Cromwellian times and she has been seen!! The pub is very cosy and old –fashioned, with exposed beams, fireplaces etc. Both breakfast and evening meals were very good.
    The only limitation as it is a listed building, access is restricted to your room by a curfew: so you have to be in your room by 11pm and then cannot come back down to the pub/restaurant until 8am.

    THE RED LION: AN HAUNTING EXPERIENCE?

    A PINT AND A POLTERGEIST?
    by themajor
    Unless you are a keen researcher into the stone circle or you find yourself on late night druid patrol you probably won't need to stay in Avebury. Those who fancy a bit of ghost hunting might however find the Red Lion to their liking. In many old inns - and this building dates from the 17th cenury - one can often find tales of unpleasant apparitions. Normally this simply refers to standard of the 'Ploughman's lunches' but here we have a racy tale of a Cavalier husband and an unfaithful wife. Florrie (apparently that was her name) was murdered by her jealous and avenging who slit her throat and hid the body down the well. Needless to say she was not terribly chuffed about it and can be seen wandering the inn. According to the locals many people have refused to stay here more than one night - but according to some vociferous web critics this might have more to do with the food and accommodation than the haunting! Perhaps best left for the dedicated spectre inspector? Ghostly or ghastly? The choice is yours. (If it has any bearing, I was told that Wednesdays used to be Bikers Night)

    Red Lion Inn: Sleep in a stone circle

    • I didn't stay here, but I did drop in for a bit. It was built in the 18th Century. It's also the only inn in the world that's located inside of a stone circle. Supposedly, ghosts haunt the place, but I didn't see any...as usual. Forget the ghosts, get some food, have a pint in the pub, or try to get a room for the night (only 4 available.) Also, the bus stop is right outside the Red Lion.

    • The Red Lion pub (qv) has rooms, if you ask at the bar. I can't comment on the accommodation.

    As Avebury really needs more than one day to appreciate it may well be worth trying.

    THE LODGE AVEBURY: Avebury's secret B&B
  • Satisfaction:
  • By texashank on February 16, 2006
    • The guy who runs this place cracked me up ... he is the Steve Martin of the hotel World ... but he ain't been to Texas! The Lodge is like staying in a Royal Palace, my room was well sized and furnished with antique art and ... it looked like the film set of some Brit-flick art house movie.
    The house is haunted and surrounded by the dozens of Avebury stones and the food this dude served up was freshly cooked and as good as I ate my whole trip.
    I visited an antique shop like something out of 1984 and the Museum and coffee shop were 'cozy'.

    The Lodge was like having a private box at the theatre ... ring side seat and there is even a web site at www.aveburylodge.com which gets 10/10 too.

    Never been in a house like it or met such an extraordinary yet regular guy type Inn keeper ... we think he secretly runs the World!

    The New Inn: Avebury/Winterbourne Monkton Accomodation

    The New Inn in Winterbourne Monkton, a mile or so from the Village of Avebury, is a quaint country inn. The setting is spectacular and the rooms are adequate but nothing special. If after a long day walking around the area all that you require is a place to sleep then this is the perfect place. The full english breakfast in the morning was hearty and very tasty. Its a pity that the Inn is not operating the pub at the moment as it would be a nice place to sit and have a few drinks. Overall I was satisified with the Inn, as it served its peurpose of being ideal for a nights stop over.

    The setting is really good!!
