The Red Lion

Stayed here for one night and it was ok.The lady at the front of the house was very nice and accommadating.The room itself was ok,bit basic but what do you expect for £65 a night with 1 weeks notice.Breakfast in the morning was nice to.

Does what it says on the tin

Nice and convinient for our travel needs. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the food we did have was very good, however, there was no breakfast option as advertise and the menu was quite limited. The hotel itself is very 'tired' and to be honest could do with a decent deep clean and decorate.  The bathroom in room 7 definitely needs re-doing and the curtains everywhere were hanging on by far too few curtain rings making the place look very scruffy but the spiders in the hall seemed to have made their home in the folds along with the dust!  There was good off street parking available and the rooms was nice and quiet. It would not take much to really bring this up to scratch and make it a really nice little place to stay but it is not there at the moment.   Sorry but I would not stay again.

Excellent staff but below average accomodation.

Had lunch here with friends.
Broccoli only fit for the compost heap, watery carrots, salmon, dry, like cardboard!
Will not return.
We were the only diners. I did wonder why.
The restaurant was very cold. Waiting staff need to tie their hair back.

Will not return.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Good parking and location - just off A10 near Ely.
Rooms decor and furniture need updating but ok for a nights stopover. The rooms were clean but as mentioned, showing age.
Menu basic pub menu  - chicken curry was very tasty. Breakfast excellent for this type of pub accommodation.
We would stay again

Very friendly staff, simple pub accommodation

We have stayed here for the past few years around the same time of year. On arrival the manager was remembered us which was very nice and she shows us to our room turned the heating up and left . A lovely welcome. We booked an evening meal and expected to dine in the dining hall but a place was set for us in the pub. I ordered ham eggs chips. When it came it was two slices of constituted plastic ham with two eggs on the top NOT GOOD!!! The chips were fry’s, white and only  half cooked . . We asked about breakfast was told 7.30 am!!!! We ask if we could  possibly have breakfast a little later? We were given 7.45 am. When given a full breakfast it was obviously a have to do thing the way it was thrown on the plate. also beans were dried up. We were given one small cup of Luke warm coffee each even tho I had asked for tea. And had to go to our room to bring down a cold drink. We really didn’t feel welcome at all. We won’t be staying again. And to top it all the price has gone up by £20 a night, which is fine but to be treat like we were. and pay more for it is terrible.

Very disappointed

met our family for lunch the food was terrible the place needs an update people were ok hope the lazy otter opens up in the new year as this is a better pub and the food is good the location was good the decor was not so good needs up dating

In need of an update

I stayed here for one night. The staff were lovely and very friendly. The bed was comfortable but the room was absolutely filthy.

The shower was dirty and clearly needs updating. I dropped something on the floor in the bathroom and when cleaning it the floor was filthy with lots of hair on it. All the picture frames were very dusty. 
In this era  of Covid I think the room should be cleaned between customers

Despite very welcoming staff the room was filthy

Filthy dirty shower including hairs , sludge and mould . Filthy dusty room . Tv remote control obviously had never been cleaned . Curtains literally hanging off and barely staying up or covering the window . Single bed not appreciated for a single traveller and at a charge of £80. Breakfast was stone cold except for the greasy fried egg.
Partial refund was given as an apology.

Great atmosphere and very friendly Staff.  We booked in for one night and were greeted by a very enthusiastic Jack who showed to our room.  As expected the room was warm and very comfortable.  Other than being in need of a bit of upgrading and the TV remote not compatible with the TV so had to use the buttons on the TV.  The evening meal was exceptionally good and great value the bar was friendly with Joan and John excellent hosts.  Would we stay again if in the area "Yes"

One Night

This is a pub not a bad one, but as a bed breakfast it should stop it,It’s not good,you can’t get breakfast till 9,which is not good at all obviously if your travelling for work that might as well be the afternoon 
When I came down there was no breakfast setting and no chef.So I decided it looked like being 10 before I got breakfast so I left.  The the room is very very basic no toiletries,the bathroom floor was dirty it’s old fashioned and out of date, stay elsewhere for the money there is much better within a few miles
