The Red Lion

"Cotswold character and award-winning cuisine"
Overview
Wooded ridges ripple along the horizon, enfolding this attractive north Cotswolds village. Ramblers will enjoy the web of recreational trails hereabouts, while prehistorians focus on the Rollright Stones just to the south. Explorers in-the-know then make a beeline for the dog-friendly Red Lion. Georgian coaching inn origins make for an appealing mix of beams, flagstones and honey-coloured stone. The seasonal menu, complemented by daily specials, has been awarded one AA Rosette for the considered mix of classic and contemporary dishes, and may offer starters such as ham hock and leek terrine; or grilled whole sardines. Next up, home-made steak and Hooky pie; or duck leg cassoulet, Cotswold sausage and cannellini beans. In summer, the beer garden is just the place to enjoy beers from Hook Norton and Goffs breweries. Well-appointed accommodation is also available.

About the area
The sparkle of sunlight on a gentle river as it meanders through beautiful countryside; the reflections of sailing boats on a lake; relaxing with a pint in the garden of an old English pub in a picturesque village; brightly coloured narrow boats making their way through a flight of lock gates; the imposing silhouette of an historic castle. These are the scenes that make Warwickshire a delight.
