Each room has a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, an en-suite bathroom, and White Company toiletries. The superior double rooms offer extra space and high-quality furnishings with underfloor heating in the bathrooms.
Activities & Grounds
On-site activities include darts, fishing, cycling, and hiking trails through the surrounding countryside. Guests can also go kayaking from nearby waterways. The inn has a large garden and outdoor dining patio, while the historic building dates back to Plantagenet times.
Location
The Red Cow is set in the village of Heydon, within 10 km of Audley End House and 22 km from the University of Cambridge.

Highlights
Award: Top 50 gastro food award
Dining: British cuisine with steak nights, curry nights, Sunday roasts
Rooms: Barn conversions named after local farming families
“The barn conversions present a particularly stylish base, offering quiet comfort and a reassuringly high standard of finish, including thoughtful touches like quality toiletries and bottled water. It's clear the team here is genuinely engaged, with attentive service from check-in through dining. While meals can be a bit hit-or-miss, the overall accommodation and friendly atmosphere make it a commendable choice, especially for its proximity to local attractions.”
