The only thing I would suggest would be some strategically placed clothes hooks next to the door (for jackets) and hooks in the bathroom (for hand towels).

This Red Lion is located in a typically small English town setting that lets you fully relax from whatever day you've had. Plenty of free parking, very quiet rooms, and a lovely garden setting made this an excellent choice for visiting the nearby Duxford aerodrome and Imperial War Air Museum. The included breakfast has several good selections with individual French-press coffee and fresh juice. The staff were all pleasant and helpful, even during what was a very full house for dinner for one of our evenings. The room was on par with premium hotels, but with added touches of dimming lights in the bathroom and room, as well as windows and a skylight that open to provide fresh air and let in the wonderful sounds of the birds each morning.

Bread at breakfast was just everyday sliced bread. No fresh fruit offered.

At the last minute we were informed that breakfast on Monday morning would be a continental due to staff shortage. Disappointing selection offered. Cereal, orange juice and toast and marmalade. Had to ask for extra toast as only one slice each was brought to the table. No reduction was made to the price.

Quite a few aspects were less good than expected. There was nobody around when I arrived (the pub was locked) and it took a while before I realised that one of the two envelopes (on a bench in the porch) was my room key, after which I had to go looking for my room. Not a great start. The guest info pack stated that food was available from 6pm - it wasn't. After going back to the pub three times (after 6) and finding it still locked, I wandered off in search of food elsewhere (found a fish n chips van in the next village - pretty good!). Breakfast was not great. For the price, this was simply not up to the expected standard, and gives the impression of somewhere that used to be good (probably about 5 years ago) but has since gradually declined.

The most likeable aspect of the place was that the room was comfortably large and seemed clean.

Continental breakfast as stated is not cereal and toast which was on offer. I consider continental breakfast to be hams, cheeses, croissants, fruit and yogurts etc.

The English breakfast was good when available!!! The location was good

Unfortunately the breakfast was dreadful. It would be better to tell the guests what you do have to serve.. Rather than everything you order, comes back with a response of sorry the delivery hasn't arrived. I understand that, but I don't understand poor communication. Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and avocado 🥑 on sour dough toast. No smoked salmon... No problem.. But what I got was also not sour dough and the saltiest eggs I have ever tasted.. I could not eat it.. So I left hungry.

I liked my room and being in a separate building from the pub. And good coffee making facility.

Breakfast was fine

The manager Chris is really great - very friendly and super efficient. The pub garden is really nice and large with plenty of space for kids and dogs. The food is pretty good but the best thing is the service. The village is very picturesque with some beautiful walking trails.

Food was great, staff were lovely. The setting for the rooms was lovely just needed the inside to reflect the outside. Not much imagination gone into the decor. Ordered a double bed not 2 singles.

Lovely food, great staff. Nice location.

Nothing.

Incredibly location. Hinxton is so beautiful. A real gem. The Red Lion is such a beautiful old pub, so much character. The staff were very friendly, and the food was excellent. The pie of the day was simply outstanding. I can’t wait to visit again.
