The Red Lion Hinxton, hotel in Thaxted

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.

    We got a lovely welcome when we arrived. When we first arrived in our room there was a strange noise so we were very kindly upgraded to another room that was perfect and we were very grateful. We had dinner in the hotel which was very tasty and a lovely breakfast with good choice the following morning. The hotel is right on the high street and opposite the church. There is parking at the hotel.
