The restaurant meal was excellent and the staff very obliging when we arrived later than expected. We stayed two nights during the week. The room was spacious and comfortable. We had to ask for two lightbulbs to replace dead ones and there was only one set of towels for the two of us. There was a hand wash, but no body wash or shampoo for the shower, which tends to be expected these days. A minimalist breakfast was delivered in a bag to the room the evening before, the contents of which didn’t really justify the term continental breakfast. Whilst appreciating the expense of hiring a chef to cook breakfast for a few midweek guests may not be viable, with a bit more imagination a cold buffet breakfast as per Premier Inn type could be provided to justify the bed and breakfast promise. In summary, we enjoyed our stay in a good location and pleasant setting, but a bit more attention to detail would have been appreciated. As is, the bed and breakfast stay does not offer good value for money.

The size of the room, its layout, the amenities, the service, the food, the atmosphere, its convenience and price were fantastic. However, my upstairs room did not have an air conditioner and as it was hot, I opened the window for fresh air. But because the Old Red Lion is close to a busy "A" road, there was traffic noise throughout the night and again in the early morning.

Ample parking, easy to find. Rooms are separate to the pub. Large bedroom and bathroom. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. Great breakfast served in the pub - delicious fresh fruit, pastries, meats, cheeses, fruit juice. Toast cooked to order. Hot breakfast available at an extra charge. Friendly staff, all really helpful. A great find.

The Old Red Lion is a convenient pub stay for the Cambridge area. The accommodation is in a separate building to the pub. The rooms are nicely presented. The pub is friendly and welcoming, with good pub food.

Nice clean room, friendly staff and nice breakfast. Had to check in before 10pm which could have been an issue but we tweaked plans. Would definitely stay again

I booked to stay one night with a chance I might need a second night. Room was a separate wooden chalet. Door very difficult to open. Small bathroom with shower a bit difficult to access unless you have long legs. Mirror near toilet not easy to see. Glad I didn’t need to make up. Breakfast was a bag with croissant and porridge to mix yourself and an apple. Jam, butter orange juice also provided but juice not very nice and make your own coffee from Nescafé in room. I wasn’t expecting the ritz but went to Tesco for breakfast. Dinner service a tad slow but I think they had problems. Fish and chips very well done so a bit overcooked. Just booked in for same price elsewhere, a world of difference.

Warm welcome by staff. Shown to room in adjacent building. Room was tired, hanging curtains at one point t the pole fell down. There was a kettle and tea coffee in room and breakfast was out through door late evening in brown paper bag consisting of a croissant cereal bar apple and carton of juice. Room was very hot and no fan. The shower room had pubic hairs on the floor and sink. Meal at hotel was poor too. Very disappointed all round.

The staff tried very hard but there was a slight disorganization about the service. We missed having a rack/bench to put at least one bag on. Also found it difficult with no rack/soap holder in the shower and no hooks or places to put our clothes while showering. Lastly the only mirror in the bathroom was on the opposite wall from the sink. This made it difficult to shave.

I enjoyed another stay at the Old Red Lion. I was allocated a lovely room with a good bathroom. I appreciated the kind welcome from the staff especially as it was quite late in the evening when I arrived. I informed the staff in advance of my estimated time of arrival and they were reassuring that my arrival time was fine for them. Enjoyed a pint of beer at the bar about 9.30pm before going to bed. The breakfast provided in the room was great as I had to leave quite early in the morning to attend a meeting in Haverhill. Looking forward to my next stay at the Old Red Lion Inn. Many thanks to the staff
