Great Abington Holidays from £146

Bad place

Had a recent weekend break at the Red Lion with my wife in order to visit am airshow at nearby Duxford. The premises is well located, within walking distance of the airfield, also close to a mainline railway station for visits to Cambridge. Plenty of parking is available , just remember to register your vehicle when you arrive to avoid charges. This is an old building, the ceilings leading towards the rooms are low, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. We had food in the bar, there are plenty of choices, it is tasty and good value. You may need to book to secure a table as the venue is popular, but this was not a problem. Breakfast was excellent, good choices to suit all. I would like to mention the lady who was serving breakfast on Saturday morning. She was also managing the coffee shop as well as taking orders and serving the meals. She did an excellent job was friendly and hard working, thank you. Overall I enjoyed my visit, would certainly return and can highly recommend the Red Lion.

The air conditioning worked well both in our room albeit it was a little noisy. This was much appreciated in the current heatwave. The rest of the hotel was pleasantly cool too. Breakfast was good value although a choice of type of egg would have been nice. There was some fresh fruit and a good choice of bread. We ate in one evening and enjoyed our curries. The staff were all very pleasant. Recommended for a short stay.
