The Red Lion Hinxton, hotel in Hinxton

In a tiny village south of Cambridge, this appealing 16th-century freehouse has an AA Rosette restaurant, an atmospheric bar, and new-build rooms with private bathrooms with free internet.

The cottages are really nice - inside and out. Good to those who came for a conference held in Hinxton conference center. You can go to the conference center just in 5 minutes through the gate. Need to press the button and explain to the security where you are going. The hotel is the only place nearby which serves food, especially in the evenings. Fish and chips was delicious. Breakfast was very nice too.

    The little detached cottage is very private, extremely quiet and tastefully decorated and set out. There is a garden area with seating where we ate dinner made in the well equipped kitchen. A really lovely stay and one we hope to repeat.

    Breakfast and Dinner both very good. Room ok reported TV not working but wasn’t fixed during our stay. Window didn’t close properly which wasn’t an issue in summer but would be during winter months.
