Pros:

Se odori respirare la pace e vivere il vero spirito Inglese immerso nella natura devi soggiornare qui. Il personale è gentilissimo. Il ristorante per la cena è stato una bellissima sorpresa. Ho cenato divinamente a prezzi giusti. Le camere sono calde e ti avvolgono nelle loro mura in legno e pietra. Il letto era fantastico. La colazione abbondante e gustosa. Ho preso la full British breakfast, ottima per tutta la giornata. Il cuoco è veramente bravo. Il Red Lion possiede un comodo parcheggio interno, o meglio una comoda corte in terra battuta ed erba dove puoi parcheggiare direttamente in fronte alla porta. Durante il giorno o più facilmente nel tardo pomeriggio potrai trovare qualche signore del posto sorseggiare una buona birra e magari scambiare due parole e come nel mio caso scoprire che si era laureato a Cambridge e chiedere qualche dritta su cosa vedere nelle vicinanze o anche a Cambridge che dista meno di un'oretta di macchina. L'ho amato il Red Lion.

Great breakfast

The size of the bed- partner is 6ft 3 and it's a small double bed, although beds were comfy just a little on the small side for such a tall man
