Beautifully tucked away in a country village with local walks highlighted in the welcome pack. A quiet place to stay.Historic building beautifully restored into a stunning accommodation without detracting from its History. The Red Cow Inn itself full of exposed beams, excellent friendly staff and an award winning menu.

Great food, great accommodation, lovely staff Only slight downside is the WiFi ! It doesn’t work in the rooms but gave me a rest from work, so not all bad 😂

I had a lovely stay at The Red Cow, this place is a real gem! The building and rooms are absolutely gorgeous. The staff were very attentive and friendly & the food I had was so good! Lovely local charm in the bar area with friendly faces welcoming me in. If I find myself needing to stay in this area again, I will without doubt be returning. Wonderful little inn.

The cooked food was all brilliant. Chef and breakfast and evening team friendly and efficient Rooms nicely equipped, though heating programme meant the room was very warm at the wrong time.

Really beautiful room, but hard to figure out the heating to warm up the room, as well as no dressing table to do hair /makeup at, could only do in the bathroom. We had a delicious meal in the restaurant and the breakfast was good apart from no orange juice or fruit which I usually have. Checkout was awkward as at 9.55am we found the building was closed, as we didn't know what to do with the keys, spoke and explained to the cleaner, who then said she didn't speak English. However overall we enjoyed our stay and all the staff were very nice .

Lovely pub, beautiful room but description on Hotels.com described the superior room as having a king size bed. It is only a double - we would not have booked the room if we had known.

WENDY • Couple Trip

The staff are lovely and helpful. I did not think the room we had could be classed as superior because the bed has an old fashioned type of mattress which is not comfortable. For a superior room I was expecting a bigger more comfortable bed. We could not open the window at night because it is very low down and wild life could easily get through at night. The buffet breakfast is quite basic, there were no croissants or pastries of any kind. The location is absolutely beautiful . The staff are great but for the price I was a little disappointed .

The room itself was lovely. Was disappointed that when being shown to the room, the member of staff never removed their footwear & left wet & slight dirty footmarks across the floor. The Kettle is also in need of some serious descaling!!
