Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Red Lion
Traditional village local in Cotswold stone, with quite a narrow frontage but the front bar and lounge (separated by a single step) extend back into another room where the sports TV can be found. Still busy on a Sunday afternoon when some of the country eating houses in the vicinity were closing. Three real ales on handpump: Hooky (£4.20), Wye Valley's Butty Bach and Grand Prix from Prescott.

Nick Davies left this review about The Red Lion
TomTom led us to this pub (we've got the GBG as PoIs) on a long cross country run. Horley is a tiny Cotswold stone village well off the tourist trail and I suppose the Red Lion reflects this, it's very much a locals' local. So it's olde worlde, beams and open fire, all of that, but also a big telly at the back and a disco set up for the evening's bacchanalia. There's nothing at all wrong with any of that, it's doing exactly what village pubs should do, provide a service to the community and a friendly welcome to all comers, rather than shut out the community in favour of flogging 3663 dinners to your in-laws. However if your in-laws are me and like delicious Hook Norton beers with a pickled egg and a packet of crisps in pleasant company they'll be in seventh heaven.
