Red Lion Cottage dates back 400 years and was originally ’The Red Lion Inn’ and served its own ale to King George III in 1802.


After the Red Lion closed, the building was known as Churchfield House and recently has been known as Red Lion Cottage.


The Cottage is available as a holiday let - click here for further information.
