Superb service from initial enquiry via their website, right through to saying goodbye and thanking them for a great trip. Travelling with me/cfs can be a nightmare and I dread hotels with noisy bathroom fans, banging doors, loud extractor fans on kitchens, trips away can be disastrous, but the Red Lion at Hinxton was Bliss. We didnt hear a thing in our lovely room, away from the main building. I was over the moon. Our room was spotlessly clean, light & airy; the bed was enormous and very comfy; the shower was very powerful plus we had plenty of hot water for a lovely bath. The gardens are lovely, very peaceful with a beautiful wisteria pergola allowing privacy for some of the tables. There is plenty of parking in their car park and it is a very short, flat, walk to the rooms, so no stairs to manage. Our two dogs were made extremely welcome and the additional cost to take them was extremely reasonable compared to other hotels. All the rooms have a separate entrance straight into the garden, so there was no “walk of shame” through a hotel when one of them needed to go out. The pub itself is lovely, but the weather was too fab to waste it sat inside. We were delighted to find waiters service in the garden, and lovely touch from a very well run friendly establishment. The food was wonderful, as we hoped it would be when we saw the AA 4 Stars. We were able to access our room very early, and they very kindly allowed us a late checkout on our final day. All the staff showed us great kindness throughout. We highly recommend this great pub, it is very convenient for Duxford.

Our accommodation at The Red Lion was fabulous. We stayed in Room 1 for two nights and we couldn’t fault it. We had dinner on our first evening there, and Alex and the restaurant team delivered 100% Breakfast however is a different matter! Waiting team, although perfectly pleasant couldn’t put up a decent breakfast if they tried. After our second disastrous breakfast we actually wondered if the fast food chain restaurant up the road would have been a better option. This place needs a breakfast chef, and a waiting on breakfast team that can help justify the cost of just short of £300 for two nights. When you get a side plate with two poached eggs on it, and another side plate with your toast on it, you know you’ve either not been understood, or someone in the kitchen can’t put an egg on toast. Aside from the disappointment of breakfast, on both mornings, this place is great. We did speak to Alex, not to complain but to suggest some training may be needed, but after the second breakfast I think it needs more than that.

Pub is quaint. Breakfast is good. Bed was comfortable. Room was sparsely decorated and the floor wasn’t clean. Came back after dark and there were no lights on to find our way back to the room. Felt it was a lot of money for we got.

Super hyggeligt sted gemt godt væk i en lille landsby . Ægte engelsk land idyl med en dejlig have hvor man kunne slappe af og også nyde den gode mad fra køkkenet. Super venligt personale der gjorde alt for at man følte sig velkommen.
