    The decor was stunning, Location was quiet and private, lovely and clean, very comfortable and Damien was so helpful, accommodating and quick with responses to any questions we had. I'm very glad we followed his recommendation to eat at the red lion...food was incredible! The property is very romantic for couples and also spacious outside for children. I loved it there so much, that we decided to stay an extra night. So relaxing and peaceful.

    Our hosts Chrissie and Max were charming and helpful. Max's cooked breakfast was superb as was Chrissies home made granola and marmalade. Great location for exploring the countryside and great walks right on the doorstep.
