The Red Rose Cottage was a charming Airbnb beautifully decorated inside with a Victorian charm . Ashleigh was very detailed in every aspect of this place. The kitchen is well stocked and so cute with the lemon wallpaper! The bedrooms are very unique in design with very comfortable beds! The master is large with accommodations for a baby or children which makes it appealing for parents. We loved having a glass of wine on the outdoor patio and sitting on the front porch with our morning coffee. It’s a quiet peaceful getaway but so close to all that Lancaster has to offer!!! Thanks Ashleigh for a beautiful time her!
