Staff very friendly and helpful when booking and when confirming visit. Landlord was attentive and gave a good personal touch at check-in. Room was clean, spacious and bed comfortable. The local cafes and shops in the village are good for everything you'd need and the village has a really good atmosphere. The only downside to the rooms was the walls are thin, so you could here everything from the bathrooms adjoining our room.

The Red Lion is a pub with four rooms in a separate building a short walk from the back door of the pub. Our room was in excellent condition and very clean. It appears that it may recently have been completely remodeled/renovated as the carpet appeared to be brand new; and everything else was in tiptop shape. The Red Lion is very convenient to Cambridge and located in a little shopping/market area surrounded by residential housing. We arrived too late for a meal but enjoyed drinks in the pub - there is also a nice green with picnic tables out back where many were enjoying drinks. Inside, you could tell this is a neighborhood pub from the friendly conversations and banter and also because for the number of people inside and out, there weren't nearly enough cars out back for the number of people on the premises. There is also a nice bakery across the street providing fresh pastries and other options. I would definitely stay here again if I was in this area.

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.
