Nice stay great location

Great location and comfortable room, but our room was a bit tired. Didn't appreciate being woken up around 6am with the bins being emptied outside below our window. We would definitely stay again but ask for a different room.

An enjoyable stay

The Old Red Lion Inn was great for my two night visit to the area. I arrived in Cambridge by train and chose to stay at the Old Red Lion as it was on a good bus route to Haverhill. The staff were all friendly and welcoming which makes a difference and important to me anywhere I stay. My room was fine and the continental breakfast bag delivered to my room was just what I needed. The evening meals I had in the pub both evenings were delicious. The best bit of my stay. I would stay at the Old Red Lion again when next in the area. Thank you to all the staff at the Old Red Lion
