The Red lIon at Whittlesford Bridge is a modern-day coaching Inn. Using locally sourced food cooked beautifully and simply we provide eating, drinking and loadgings in a traditional yet quirky setting. We are 'All things to all people'

Parts of our building date back to the 13th Century when Carmelite monks carved the oask beams which are still in place today. We have plenty of nooks and crannies, low ceilings and wonky floors all of which sit comfortably alongside a 21st Century glass atrium and business centre featuring new audio-visual technology and Wi-Fi.

We have 18 individually designed bedrooms with swooshy showers, Hypnos beds, down and feather bedding, flat screen TV's and IPod docking stations. Rooms vary in size to executive single through to an impressive honeymoon room. 

In the summer months, enjoy local ales, Belvoir cordials and excellant British cooking in our Atrium or oak-beamed bar, whilst in the winter you can make yourself at home in front of a real log fire or curl up on a couch in the snug area.

Throughout it's 700 years of histroy, The Red Lion has been a haven of welcoming hospitality. From providing a place of respite to destitute travellers in the 1200's, through to cementing its place in royal circles as King James I granted the Red Lion's first liquor licence. In recent times, it became the social hub for service men and women stationed at nearby Duxford Airfield. Now after extensive investment and refurbishment the Red Lion continues to open it's doors to welcome in the contemporary traveller and local community.

We look forward to seeing you.
