The pub staff were friendly and welcoming. We were shown to our room and then we sat in the gardens with our 2 dogs and enjoyed very pleasant drinks. After our walk, we had a lovely meal, which was well priced and delicious. The atmosphere in the pub was very pleasant although it was quite busy. The room was spacious. The bed queen sized and very comfortable. The bathroom had a large shower, which was very nice. I don't think there was anything negative about our stay and we have decided to stay again this year but for a longer period of time

Superb, we were very well looked after. The room was clean, tidy (and massive), the food was ace and all the management and staff were bright and friendly. The garden is lovely. Will definitely stay again soon when I am next up that way for work.

I stayed here while my wife was having surgery close by. I could not fault any part of it - the staff were very welcoming, the food was good, and the room was very well equipped. The location for me was absolutely perfect, and although there was not a breakfast option available, this lended well to the local cafes in the area which i enjoyed fully.

Lovely stay at the Red Lion. Comfortable and cosy room with all the facilities needed. The rooms are set away from the pub and we found were quiet. The only downside was that the room could do with a thorough dust. We ate in the pub on 2 nights and the food was excellent. The pub itself had a good friendly feel to it. Would definitely stay there again.

The room was comfortable and spacious. The young lady who checked us in was friendly and helpful. Being so close to amenities such as the adjacent pub and a nearby restaurant was very convenient. The close proximity to Cambridge was also a plus.

Excellent room in an annex, so very quiet, clean, plenty of wardrobe/drawer space. King size bed and walk in shower. No breakfast available but plenty of nearby cafes in Histon and a Tesco Express opposite tThree he pub. The pub staff were friendly and helpful. Pub does good pub style food. Good bus service/park and ride into Cambridge. An enjoyable stay at a reasonable price

What a lovely room, tucked behind the beer garden and lovely and private ( and quiet) great facilities at a fabulous price. The fact we could park so close was a bonus too. Staff could not have done any more for us and we were well looked after. We will be back!

I was allowed to check in early and had an extra guest with me who was not on my booking. No problem whatsoever. The staff were absolutely brilliant. Lovely comfortable room. The under floor heating in the bathroom was awesome. One little word of warning though, the heated towel rail gets VERY hot. Tea and coffee provided along with fresh milk rather than the usual uht stuff. Lovely touch. Bed Lovely and comfortable. No complaints whatsoever ❤️
