Wedding weekend at the Red Lion InnI would like to publicly thank the red lion team, consisting of Harpal, Tracey,Lynne,carol, Alan and Steve for a wonderful weekend. We stayed as a family 0f 12 for 4 nights at the Red Lion whilst attending a wedding at Willow Grange farm.We cannot fault the hospitality, being accommodating to our changing needs during this time. The food was beautiful cooked, plentiful and our needs were cheerfully attended to, even opening the kitchen after a busy fathers day lunch.Rooms were clean, showers excellent, nice comfy beds and fresh towels. the village is very beautiful a with quaint English country friendliness.Thank you for the laughs, ,memories and attention during out stay.

Great pub, good atmosphere, busy with locals and visitors alike. Nice to see people enjoying their evening while their dogs were sleeping under the tables.Stayed a couple of nights, good breakfasts, free parking and WiFi. Only left off one star as the room was a bit shabby, but very clean.Would come again, but in a different room.

Stayed here many times always been fine. We stayed four days ago and never again. Firstly we went to the diner which was closed a table was set up in the bar. We ordered our meal rather quicker than we wanted at 6pm because the lady taking orders was rushing us. I ordered ham egg chips. When it arrived the ham was thin reconstituted sandwich ham from a supermarket hard white fry’s not chips as ordered. We asked the time of breakfast next morning we were told 7.30 am we asked can we come down a little later she said yes 7.45. Great. Full English breakfast wasn’t nice at all very fatty bacon. I would say a child’s potion. We were giving one small cup of like warm coffee. No sugar to be seen. And had to go up to room to bring a cold drink down.And regarding the price for b&b has gone up £20 a night. I wasn’t happy at all. We will never stay there again .

Randomly stopped for a meal while on a journey . Dog friendly, great freshly cooked food, lovely atmosphere of a traditional pub. Friendly welcoming staff. Will definitely visit again.

Very friendly people. Loved the dogs and gave lots of treats. Cheesy chips were to die for.

Stayed in Room 11. The room was clean, the shower good and the lady in charge (not the owner) was very pleasant. BUT ... this was the smallest B&B room and bed that we have ever stayed/slept in. the many scratches on the wall above the bed were disconcerting (it looked as though the Lion that came to Tea had also stayed the night) and the black and yellow 'warning' tape used to stick the hairdryer to the wall lacked class. Breakfast was served between 07:00 and 08:00, what is that all about? We made the effort, got up early, arrived at breakfast for 7:45 but then wished we hadn't. 'Coffee' was boil your own kettle and help yourself to as much instant coffee from a catering tin of instant coffee. No cereals or toast were offered and the cooked breakfast (no option for how you wanted your eggs cooked) appeared to have been cooked an hour or two earlier and kept warm. It certainly wasn't cooked to order as it appeared within a minute of us putting in our order. Insult to injury was 'breakfast', if that is what it was, cost an extra £5 per person. Unfortunately we had booked two days, but managed to save ourselves a tenner by not having breakfast on the second day. Sorry, but despite the good bits, this was the worst B&B experience we have had to date.

There asking £455 for a single for seven days and it's not worth it I've been here four nights and it's still the same bedding and towels to be honest it's horrible boil your own kettle at the bar and grab your own cutlery and find a table and wait for a really horrible breakfast to be served all for an extra £5 a day. Come and stay and decide for yourself.

Room 6 Large cobwebs in two corners of the room. A black mark the size of a 50 pence on the white duvet cover and food crumbs in the crevices of the remote control causing it to be difficult to use at times. The towel rail in the bathroom was missing as was the toilet roll holder. So there was nowhere to hang anything in the bathroom, no door hooks either. Only one side of the bed had a lamp which made it very difficult to get up in the middle of the night or even read. The table and one chair were so very shabby even a charity shop I am sure would not accept them. During the evening meal which was ok another couple were asking for the radiators to be put on in their room as it was very cold. We also asked at the same time and was told that the owner had said earlier it was not needed. Staff went to speak with the owner again. we were then told it had been turned on but the radiators had not been bled so unlikely to come on. The heating was not turned on because the pipe coming up through the floor to the radiator thermostat remained cold. The breakfast was poor, no jam or marmalade available, bacon was cold and the dining room felt very cold as the heating was still not on. I did leave them a polite note in the room before leaving in the hope she would give us a call to apologise but no such luck

Checked in at the bar, mid afternoon. Greeted by friendly bar staff. The owner showed us upstairs to our room which was spacious and very uncluttered. An evening spent in the pub resulted in my thinking I had drunk too much, but the morning showed the floor to be on an extreme slope (see photos). The tea cups could do with being mugs as they are quite small. The bed was comfy and our room at the front wasn't noisy. The bells from the church are an excellent addition and I think they stop between 10pm and 6am, or maybe I was just very tired. The shower screen wasn't very effective due to handles on the bath which prevented it from sealing. As a result, water ran down the outside and down the slope into the bedroom area. The pub is locked at night, with no on site staff. We had to leave the key in the door to show we had left and depart via the fire escape.

Great pub restaurant, in a great little village just out side of Ely, New beer garden is great for thoughs chilled out evenings.

The church bells go off all night, even on the quarter hours, and woke myself and my colleague in the next room continuosly. Not the hotel's fault but nonetheless resulted in minimal sleep and I won't be back regrettably.

We had dinner at the Red Lion, and it was so nice we went back for lunch the next day!It's good pub grub, the chips were delicious (always a good sign!) and it was good hearty tasty food at very reasonable prices. The service was good and there is a great selection of gins.Lunch was a Sunday roast dinner and it was simply delicious, would thoroughly recommend going here.The decor isn't as slick as it could be, but don't let this put you off as the food and service are great. Very lucky to have such a good pub as the local.
