Very comfortable room (Newcastle Brown). Clean and well appointed. Serviced every day even though that was not essential. Well served with local amenities and an ideal location for our trip. Good provision of storage space and very helpful to have a functioning fan in the room. We are looking forward to returning next year. I found everything I needed for my stay.

My friend's room (Tartan Bitter) appeared not to have any milk, as he discovered this morning when making tea. His shower also appeared to be partially blocked. I believe he did speak to staff before we left though and he only noticed it this morning.

Life saver - booked & arrived within 90 minutes after discovering my original booking for the evening at another hotel as when I arrived I found it closed down!! Staff brilliant. Room superb - even better arrived during the week of the Beer Festival that was taking place in the pub garden & car park area to which I received free entry & had a fantastic time!! great pub, good location, very comfortable, great people.

Only minor issue was with wi-fi away from the main pub, pretty weak or non existent in the rooms which are out in the garden area. After a long day & issues with my previous accommodation I decided not to work for which I would have required better wi-fi in my room, but obviously in normal circumstance would have gone over to a table in the pub.

The bedrooms are in a separate building at the rear of the pub which means they are well away from the road and are exceptionally quiet. The rooms are large and finished to an excellent standard. Very comfortable super king bed. Wet room was large and very clean. We had two small dogs and there was an enclosed lawned beer garden that was safe for them to have a little romp. The pub is in the centre of the vibrant village of Histon. There is an excellent cafe opposite (Stir) which is excellent for breakfast and a Tesco Express opposite which is very convenient for newspaper etc. The food and service in the Red Lion was exceptional. Cannot recommend highly enough.

On arrival the staff were very welcoming. We were shown straight to our rooms which were absolutely lovely, clean large and super warm! We ate dinner in the pub which again the staff were really great and made sure we knew everything that was on offer from drinks to food. The food was lovely and we really enjoyed the atmosphere of customers and staff alike. We took our little dog who was also made welcome and was also given a little treat.

nothing at all

Very comfortable modern room - part of a row of four built at the rear of the pub. Very warm and quiet, nice big bathroom. The staff were very welcoming and the pub is simply a delight with all their beer and brewing memorabilia. Excellent village with a nice green with river for walking the dog, two other pubs, superb Indian across the road and a great bakery doing full breakfasts just a minute away. Great value would highly recommend.

Perfect location, just outside Cambridge. The rooms are large, airy, well lit with very comfortable beds and a large clean well equipped bathroom. Very comfortable, clean and great value for money. The rooms are in a seperate building from the pub so no disturbance. But the best, and always the most important, are the staff...they were just great - warm, friendly, accomodating and very pleasant to interact with. Bravo team Red Lion!! We will definitely be back!

The standard of the room inside, shower, coffee/tea making facilities all great! Convenient for us as visiting family in Histon. So we may be back. We did have a problem with the toilet flush but the manager immediately arranged for this to be sorted out. My husband loved the selection of beers in the pub.

A curtain or blackout blind is required to cover the skylight roof window. We were both woken at 0400 by bright daylight.

The rooms are brilliant - more like self-contained cabins than your usual hotel room. Situated away from the pub, across the beer garden so pretty quiet. Super comfortable, I slept well. Nice vibe and good food. Easy to get into Cambridge.

The pub itself smelled quite strongly of wee?! Not sure why! Maybe some ‘interesting’ real ale giving an odd odour. But it doesn’t matter because this is nowhere near the rooms.

The location was fabulous. Unfortunately we arrived on a Sunday afternoon just as you had finished serving lunches and as you didn't do food on a Sunday evening we had to go down the road to the Old Boot where we did have a very nice meal. The bed was comfortable and the bedding and towels were very clean. The room was quiet and we had a good nights sleep.

Our first impression of the room was marred by a very stained carpet (which I see several other visitors have commented on) and there was a musty smell, probably from the carpet. We bought a candle from the Tesco opposite to burn. We were staying on business but were unable to use our laptops because the WIFI was very poor or non existent (again pointed out by previous visitors)

Very friendly staff. Nice accommodation - spacious, everything we needed. Pet friendly, little garden at the end of the accommodation block. It's right next to the busy pub garden but was surprisingly sound proof in the room. Super comfy bed, we slept really well.

Slightly odd walking with all our bags through a very busy pub garden to get to the rooms. But fine!
