We had a fabulous stay at Red Door Cottage, it was such a lovely welcome to be treated to freshly baked scones, jam and clotted cream along with handmade fudge. The cottage was perfect for a big family get together, the beds were super comfy. The pool was great, and far bigger than expected, it was so nice to see so many water toys/floats availRead moreable for guests to use. The added bonus was feeding the goats in the morning. Hide
