Lovely Pub and great food. Just a shame about the traffic noise which did disturb us in the night. Would consider coming again if the road was quieter

The Old Red Lion Inn was great for my two night visit to the area. I arrived in Cambridge by train and chose to stay at the Old Red Lion as it was on a good bus route to Haverhill. The staff were all friendly and welcoming which makes a difference and important to me anywhere I stay. My room was fine and the continental breakfast bag delivered to my room was just what I needed. The evening meals I had in the pub both evenings were delicious. The best bit of my stay. I would stay at the Old Red Lion again when next in the area. Thank you to all the staff at the Old Red Lion
