While visiting Cambridge we stayed at the Red Lion in Whittlesford. This hotel is build on a very old pub and as such has lot of querks. We had to step through a 4-foot door to get to our room. The room itself is nothing grand but the bed was quite confortable and we were able to sleep fine. We... More

A delightful old hotel close to the old Duxford airfield (and now home to the Imperial War Museum's collection of old aircraft). Rooms clean and well appointed. Some doors are low (reflecting the age of the place) - so watch your head. Staff friendly. Food good wine list small and many selections were absent! Brekkie good but again a singular... More

I stayed "over the way" in the Holiday Inn Express for 1 night but ate dinner and breakfast in the Red Lion. The menu had dishes that you would not normally find on a pub menu - e.g. lambs sweetbreads on the starter menu. Everything was cooked perfectly, the service was excellent and the meal was not expensive. The pub... More

Had 2 double rooms here on Livingsocial deal so good value 2 night break. The hotel is very convenient for train, literally 1 minute walk to station. This did not mean 'noisy bedrooms' we did not hear the trains at all. One room was very comfortable the other was very small for a double- not a problem to us since... More

I am not impressed with this restaurant. Everything is to over priced. The meals aren't up to standards. It took forty five minutes for our meals to arrive to our table. My mothers steak was raw, she couldn't cut it, only the outside of it was cooked. She sent the steak back and they took off 50% off our bill.... More

We spent one night in the hotel. We were intrigued by how successful the modernisation had been especially in a 13th century building. The floors in the bedroom were delightfully uneven. The atmosphere in the bar was great and the meals were very acceptable. We have absolutely no regrets in our visit.

Dear Guest Thank you for your review. I am delighted to read of your satisfaction. The interior design was done by our owner and her sister. Having grown up in the red lion, they know every nook and cranny meaning the end result complimented the old build perfectly. That said, it is okay having a shiny new hotel but without... More

The Red Lion is a very old coaching inn which cowers at the back of a vast station car park over which a Holiday Inn Express hotel stands sentinel. It has been bullied into submission by modernity, and now caters for the more widely-built customer in terms of characterless dining and drinking areas. Conversely the bedrooms are a triumph of...

Dear Reviewer Thank you for your very constructive review. We have modernised the red lion not because we felt inadequate compared to the buildings around us, more out of necessity. We were at pains to ensure the building’s character was left intact even after our modern spin was added. We have 18 bedrooms all different sizes and i am sure... More
