In need of a good clean.

Unfortunately grubby with stains on the bedding and bathroom in need of a really good scrub. Staff generally friendly.

The hotel was clean and nice to stay in. But we had a booking for the Sunday night. And was not informed that the bar and Resturant closed at 18:00. Not good as we did not finish work till 18:00. So that did spoil our stay.

8/10 Very good

Reasonable place to stay,

Room was comfortable and decent size. Bathroom was very small and not having a stand up shower was not ideal.
Chris, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

parking was complicated and potentially expensive. we did eventually find a free parking space but needed to register the car first on one screen, which allowed us two hours and then had to move the car and register again on another screen to park overnight. The evening meal was ok although heavy on the salt. Breakfast was disappointing with overcooked egg and undercooked mushroom. The room was clean but cramped with the tv screen jutting into the en suite doorway

A really nice clean big room friendly staff and a good breakfast

Room was absolutely fine for one. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Fish and chips was very nice. Breakfast was great - probably too big! I’ll book again definitely.

A lovely weekend stay.

A lovely two night stay at the Red Lion. Myself and my daughter were visiting the air show at Duxford airfield. The hotel is ideally situated for that location and we walked to the airfield on Saturday morning. The staff at the hotel were friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable and l slept well. There is a good choice of food at the Red Lion. The portions are generous and it is well cooked and tasty, The full English breakfast was a great way to start the day, there are other options on the breakfast menu as well as cereal and toast. You also have a wide range of beers and lagers at the bar, my preference is for locally brewed ales, which i enjoyed here. Overall I had a great weekend and will certainly return and can highly recommended this hotel. Thank you.

Competitively priced room but poor bathroom.

The surrounding area was nice, however the bathroom was poor, I could not use the shower even though I am short and there were lots of plumbing noises.

4/10 Fair

2 girls working in bar were excellent. We found the rest of the staff were not really bothered about guests. Room wasn’t serviced too well, no tea or milk replaced. We were not able to get a meal on our second night as there was a wedding going on and when the chef was asked if we could have meals for 4 adults he refused us, if we hadn’t had a car we would not have had a meal as we had to find somewhere else. The breakfast on the first morning was really awful and not edible by any of us and the service was poor. A very disappointing stay and not really something we would repeat or recommend to others. Really spoilt a good birthday weekend. An amazing building but needs a lot of updates and staff training. We paid a good rate for our rooms and it was not good value in any way.
Keith, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The management describe it as a modern day coaching in and that is a good description. The staff were lovely, and the breakfast was first rate. If I have any gripe is about the bathroom. I hit my head on the low ceiling a couple of times and there was a bath with a hand held shower attachment but no shower curtain and the ow ceiling meant I couldn’t stand to use it.
Adam, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great staff make a good pleasant stay.
Bonita, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I like that: - It’s near this neat old church, for starters. - it has a quaint old English world feel to it, something I’d hoped to experience while here in England for the 1st (& very likely, not my last) time - it has very good service from the workers. Next time, I’ll organize my tour of the university better & when I do, just guess where I’ll be staying ;)

Unhappy

Bed was comfortable. Shower in bath was laughable. I had to kneel to shower I am 5ft. No chance for husband as he over 6ft. Dust on shelves downstairs in eating and bar area cat roaming in restaurant jumping up on tables. Food needs to be looked at.
