The Red Lion is a f***** DUMP!!!

We booked a room Fridayt night, but were told we had to be in by 11.20, as all the doors were locked and alarmed. It was a lovely starry night and Summer Garland and I had bought cheese & wine and everything to party by the stones 'till the early hours.

Needless to say, we didn't stop at the Red Lion. We slept in the van and had a wounderous night under the stars in the inner circle. Saw Mars & the moon and shooting stars and odd amber lights 'till the early hours. Avebury is magical at night! (we took our rubbish home, don't worry).

11.20 curfew! I ask you! That pub deserves to be run by some-one who cares.
And why re-furbish during the two main holiday weeks? Where's the logic there?

Here here... me and me other half, knowing no different at the time, had our pagan blessing in the Avenue at Avebury (very small affair just 3 people!) and decided to stay in the Red Lion over night so we could walk the Stones at night... but again locked in at 11.20!!! It was like being in prison!! Would never stay there again..
