About the Hotel
The Red Lion - Historic Beer House with Award-Winning Ales and Garden Annexe Rooms
Located in the tranquil village of Histon, this CBG hotel operates as a beer house since 1836, with nine cask ales, European lagers, ciders, and perry on tap. The Red Lion recently won Cambridge CAMRA's Pub of the Year Award.
