Reasonable place to stay,

Room was comfortable and decent size. Bathroom was very small and not having a stand up shower was not ideal.

4/10 Fair

Unhappy

Bed was comfortable. Shower in bath was laughable. I had to kneel to shower I am 5ft. No chance for husband as he over 6ft. Dust on shelves downstairs in eating and bar area cat roaming in restaurant jumping up on tables. Food needs to be looked at.
Joyce, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Poor

The building itself was interesting and nice grounds. Food was awful..at least three quarter's of an hour wait for v mediocre food for pm meal. We ate out the next night Breakfast...no bacon available. Scambled egg looked shocking. The 2 staff in the bar did their best but not enough folk in kitchen or bar. Would not recommend it

Tiny room. Poor shower. Stairs to bedroom are a bit dangerous. Scary coming down with bags.

Bonita, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and homely.

Lovely dated property that is very welcoming with friendly helpful staff. The bed was two beds put together but when you see the size of the corridors it explains why. We both slept really well and had no problems with it. Only criticism would be the bathroom. It was a bit tired and was showing signs of needing an upgrade. The pub is mainly directed to the food side of the business, which we couldn’t blame them, but was still a nice place for a pint or two. The food was excellent and well priced. We would definitely stay again.

Brilliant find very convenient for IWM Duxford. As a gluten intolerant pescatarian, I cannot fault the service and quality of the food. Despite there being nothing on the menu suitable for me to eat, chef made me truly delicious fishy main and gluten free dessert. Fantastic.

Lovely Friendly Hotel

Lovely big room, very comfy bed and gorgeous quality bed linen. A friendly, welcoming hotel where everyone is hard working. Our dog Jessica was made very welcome too. My only feedback is that I am a very light sleeper and somewhere in the hotel there was a door banging which I think can be easily solved by tightening up the damper.

Very good location for the train service into Cambridge. The old inn had very low doors so you had to be careful, but it made it a unique experience.

Lovely place with character and friendly staff

Just staying one night, really nice place, ive stayed here many times before. Breakfast was excellent this time (last time you had to walk to the horrid modern place next door due to "Covid" Friendly staff and excellent value for money. I will be staying again. Well done Red Lion.
Graham, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mixed

We went to stay to be near a family occasion and found this to be a good value for money. There are a number of minor issues where a socket didn’t seem to work, a party which carried on to midnight we didn’t know about and the bar closing early on a Sunday, but the people were very helpful and friendly and the food for breakfast was excellent and gluten-free. Parking is limited but they are planning on expanding that so if that’s important you need to know. in terms of sustainability it’s a 400 year-old building so full marks for that, otherwise didn’t seem to be a priority.
