The Red Lion in East Cambridgeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Somewhat out of the way, especially with a road closure. The landlady was very welcoming, but there was no food available on Saturday when we arrived at 2.00pm. The Red Lion was an old pub but clean and tidy. The rooms also were clean and tidy. The heat in the room was very bad and there was no way to cool it down a little, except for an overhead fan, and leaving the 2 small windows open all night. The passageway leading to some of the rooms had windows that would not open, so it was stifflingly hot. The shower facilities were fine and so was the tea and coffee, however the refreshments were of a poor quality. The beds were very hard and in one of them the springs could be felt. We had to pay for breakfast as an extra, and it was only served between 9.00 and 9.30. I have to say that this was not good value for money.

Simple but comfortable and very convenient

Stayed in twin room 14, one of the mattresses was not fit for purpose, the springs were digging in. Room was dated and tired with mould around shower. We told lady on checkout we were not happy with the mattress/bed and she just said she would tell the owner. We emailed to make sure the manager/owner would know in case the lady had not passed on our message, we did not get a reply to our email. I think if you are going to charge £80, you at least need a mattress that you can sleep on. Not happy!

Red Lion Ely 👌 that’s the place jest for You 🫵

We visited here for Christmas Eve evening and had a Wonderful Christmas Meal. It was superb.

Being bias but village pub ever

Nice staff, good pub grub and nice clean rooms. Can only give 2 stars as we wanted breakfast but on arrival at the booked time, there were no staff and the main building was still locked. Had to leave and go elsewhere.

We don't expect frills, it's a pub. But it's clean, friendly, and happy with dogs. We visit Ely regularly and wouldn't stay anywhere else.

The real ale was in very good condition.

Nice local pub with a warm welcome.

We did not stay in there rooms , we visited my son who has just moved down the road from this lovely village pub. Decided to check it out have a few drinks and a bite to eat. We really enjoyed it , food was lovely , service was friendly and quick. Would deffo recommend to passers to stop for a drink and food. 👍

Easy parking, excellent street food at the visiting Friday food van, this week Japanese, and music. Clearly popular with the locals.

I stayed for luckily one short night. The room was slightly depressing with a broken shower head and a kettle from the 90s with rust init. They wouldn't serve breakfast before 8.30am, which meant I had to buy elsewhere due to work commitments. The bed was basic and not very comfortable. Based somewhere between here and nowhere, it's fair to say it's not on my list of up and coming holiday destinations.
