We came to visit family who live nearby in the village, so it was very convenient to stay at the Red Lion. The apartment was great, the super-king-sized bed was very comfortable with lovely cotton sheets, and there was a great shower. Staff were very friendly and the apartment block is a short walk from the pub, so it is private and quiet. Would definitely stay again .

Our stay was comfortable. The bed was roomy and clean. Tea/coffee was plentiful and plenty of storage. Staff helpful and polite and we would definitely stay there again. Only downside was our television kept losing signal (could have been due to atmospherics) which annoyed the hell out of hubby when he was trying to watch the footy!

Great experience 👍

We stayed in a room in an annex at the rear of the pub, nice and quiet. The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. We had dinner at the pub and it was delicious. Staff were welcoming snd friendly. Would definitely stay here again

Lovely stay

Lovely stay at the Red Lion comfortable accommodation with good facilities. The only downside was the room could do with a good dust throughout. We ate in the pub and both nights the food was fantastic 😋Service good and staff friendly.

Spacious bedrooms in a great location

Visiting family in Histon and the Red Lion is in a perfect location. The rooms are located on a block at the back of the pub garden. The rooms are large as are the bathrooms. They’re a little dark decor wise for my taste so could be more uplifting.

A little gem

We are so pleased to have discovered this little gem. From arrival at this charming village pub, the staff (and locals) were friendly and helpful, happy to give local info (restaurants, buses etc). We were shown our room which was one of 4 terraced bungalows, purpose built at the bottom of the pub garden so away from the pub, secluded with shrubbery and hedge and quiet. Perfectly adequately sized for 2 people, furniture of good quality. A lovely comfy super king size bed with crisp cotton linen. A wet room which was well with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Underfloor heating and heated towel rail ensured this was toasty warm - in fact we turned them off in the end. Tea/coffee tray well stocked and we loved the tiny individual glass bottles of milk, so much nicer than those little single use plastic milk pots. The stars of the show though really are the pub staff - all so friendly and helpful. We would recommend eating in the pub, good value, hot food, would also recommend Indian Ocean restaurant opposite. Breakfast is not available at the pub but there is a little coffee shop opposite and a Tesco express so not an issue for us. Buses into Cambridge every 40 minutes from opposite side of the road. We would definitely recommend to other travellers and will return ourselves.
