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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were incredibly lovely and made the trip. Room was nicely decorated however had a slight smell and a slightly damp carpet near the bathroom which we think was due to the shower not draining the water properly. Bed was comfortable and clean. Pub downstairs is great and has lots of character. Food was a bit on the pricey side for pub grub but was still tasty.

Food is amazing
Great place to stay. The food at this pub was amazing. The Paprika Chicken Souvalki was big and delicious. Breakfast was superb too. The room was spacious and has everything you need. The decor is close to needing a refresh but assume this will be done soon as the pub is under new management.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is situated opposite a train station which takes you into Cambridge in around 10 mins. It is a historic building which I loved and so you have to accept it will have a certain quirkiness to it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is cooked to order so very good and we ate our evening meal in the pub which was good too. It is dog friendly (£15 per night, which to be honest is far too expensive if staying more than one night) but the general cost to stay here is reasonable. I would def recommend this as a place to stay if visiting Cambridge.

Located in a quiet setting, with ample parking at the door, the Red Lion is a hidden gem where patrons are put first by staff. The building is over 500 years old yet retains it charm and comfort. Couldn't recommend it more.

Lovely staff, very helpful, rooms as expected, small but clean and functional, carpets and shower in need of repair in room, but did not detract from stay. Restaurant excellent and food high standard. Breakfast disappointing, food cold on hot buffet, croissants hard, no service at all. But overall a good stay .

I liked the bar/ restaurant area. The evening meal and breakfast were both excellent and the staff helpful. Less good was the very cramped en-suite, tiny wash basin and limited clothes hanging space in my Regency Double en-suite room. Also the narrow stair treads were difficult to descend for an OAP with big feet.
