What a fantastic find! Beautiful room and lovely pub next door. Staff were extremely helpful and the room was spotless. We will definitely be staying again.
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.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Extremely clean and modern , staff were great .
Food and service was very good , will definitely return.
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 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 .
Absolutely brilliant room of high spec that was luxurious and spotless. Warm welcome too.
I could not ask for more and will definitely return.
Many thanks
I can only say look after your chef. Worth his/her weight in gold. Simply beautiful food. Room was clean tidy and service from staff was good. Recommended.
Bed was only a double and not a kingsize as listed
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.
