Great place to stay, lovely village,amazing people

Had a lovely stay for 2 nights at the Red Lion. The owners and the team and extremely friendly and helpful and added to the enjoyment of our stay. The breakfast each day was brilliant, with lots of choices to suit everyone. The room was nice and we all found the beds very comfortable. The location is in a really nice, peaceful and quaint little village, which is really nice to walk around and look at the historic buildings and lots of thatched roofed cottages.
