Dining

The Red Lion Hinxton holds 4 AA Stars and AA Rosettes for its food. The restaurant follows a farm-to-table philosophy with a menu that changes frequently to reflect seasonal specials. Guests can dine in a garden area featuring a dovecote, or in the atmospheric bar with log fires and cask ales.

Rooms

Accommodation is in new-build en suite rooms located separately from the main pub building. The rooms feature custom-designed furnishings and have ground floor access for easy entry. Each room is set in a tranquil garden setting with its own entrance.

Pet-Friendly

The hotel has pet-friendly policies that welcome well-behaved dogs. There is an additional cost for dogs which is lower than at many other hotels. Rooms have separate garden entrances so dog walks do not require passing through the main building.

Location

The inn sits in the conservation village of Hinxton, a short walk from the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus. Duxford Imperial War Museum is a few minutes away by car. Cambridge city centre is a 25-minute drive, and Audley End House is also nearby.

Amenities

Free on-site parking is available for all guests. The bar serves real ales and has a welcoming atmosphere with wooden beams and log fires. The garden includes a wisteria pergola with some tables offering privacy from other diners.
