What can I say. An absolutely wonderful little gem in a very quiet street in a little village full of lovely people. The cottage is gorgeous. Full of antique pieces and all the equipment you need for a getaway with surprises. Loved exploring the local area and returning to this warm and cosy place. We didn't want to leave. The place, we thought, was underpriced for the experience and will be returning very soon, hopefully catch some rays in the garden and visit the Red Lion again for some delicious food.
