The room (2) was very nice indeed. Very spacious and nicely decorated with a huge TV. Had a great nights sleep in the very comfortable bed. I felt that the food was a tad overpriced; especially the steak which I had. I was a little put of when my steak arrived on what can only be described as a chopping board. It did put me of a bit and made the meal less enjoyable. Perhaps the menu should clarify this as I would have requested a plate.

The staff was very friendly and went that extra mile to make everything perfect. The room was very comfy and clean had everything we needed. Although the food was very nice, I felt there could have been a bit more of a choice, and also a little cheaper.

Location and the fact that it had a pub/restaurant attached There was a disco going on when we got back to the room at midnight, the music could be heard in our room. The window blind didn't work properly. The cover on the bathroom radiator/towel rail was broken and missing exposing live wires

a pleasant combination of friendly/laid back and efficient.the rooms not being above the pub added to the comfort of our stay.the restuarant was of good quality and reasonable value.the the only drawback was a very weak mobile signal in the area.

Being able to bring our dog to stay was a bonus. On arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was well equipped and clean and the outside of the building was enhanced by the many beautiful hanging baskets. Ideal location for some lovely country walks.

Comfortable and clean accommodation. Friendly staff. 25 minute drive to Newmarket Racecourse which was the purpose of our stay. The menu in the restaurant could be better. Breakfast good.

Arrrived and found the staff were so very friendly, was shown to a well equiped room that was spacious and had been re-decorated to a high standard. The bathroom was equiped with a good quality shower and even a cafeteir and fresh coffee was in room. In the evening we went into the restaurant and had a resonible priced meal in very comfortable surroundings. The nights stay was good with no issues. In the morning we were treated to a well prepared breakfast again served by friendly staff. We left feeling we had had a break and would not hesitate to return when we are back in the area.

Fantastic stay, my colleague and I run our own swim school and needed accomodation close to Linton for a training course. We stayed from Tues-Fri and were made to feel most welcome, the location was perfect, the room was lovely and clean, the food was absolutely gorgeous (we were spoilt for choice every night and the steaks were to die for!!) and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. We are planning future training courses and without a doubt will definately be booking the Old Red Lion again, Thankyou for a most enjoyable stay, Kath and Sharon, Kinder Swim, Cheshire

We stayed at The Old Red Lion as we attended a party at the venue. The room was excellent, clean, comfortable and very spacious. The en suite was clean and the fact that a bath and shower were available was an added bonus. The breakfast was delicious and top quality. We spoke to the owners and they were so nice as were the other staff. We have family in the area and are already planning our next stay.

B&b molto tranquillo e confortevole camere spaziose e ben equipaggiate con ingresso indipendente. Ottimo english breakfast cucinato con prodotti di qualità . Abbiamo anche cenato due volte e ci siamo trovati davvero molto bene. Un posto da consigliare per chi è in auto e vuole visitare il cambridgeshire. No tutto ok
