The Old Red Lion Inn, hotel in Balsham

Situated in Cambridge and with Audley End House reachable within 17 km, The Old Red Lion Inn features a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar.

Nice hotel/pub/restaurant. Rooms are located separately from pub. Our room was more than spacious enough, too bad there were no table and chairs to enjoy the (continental) breakfast. Breakfast can only be enjoyed in the restaurant at the weekend. The meals in the restaurant are highly recommended. (not possible on Sunday evening). The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel/pub/restaurant is definitely recommended.

    We were very pleased with the room, especially having a superkingsized bed as that is what we are used to. Everything was very clean, and very well equipped. I liked the touch of having a lock on the bedside cabinet for valuables. We had dinner there in the evening and the quality of food exceeded my expectations, and that was also true of the breakfast the following day.
