Excellent location for our visit to Ely. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Continental breakfast was very good. We would like to come again some time

Ely is a wonderful small town for a few days stay - along the river is excellent on a fine day and a nice pub to have a drink and watch the world go by. Ely Cathedral was magnificent - we have visited many across UK and this is certainly one of the best - Stained Glass exhibition is also worth a visit. Cromwells House and Ely Museum worth a visit if you have time. Ely Cathedral has the Armoury Cafe which we would recommended for lunch. For dinner: The Lamb was excellent with wonderful food at a fair price.

Stayed at a hotel 10 minutes walk into Ely, the weather was extremely windy but we enjoyed the walk. We found quite a few quirly shops plus alll the usual high street shops, a few cafes and few places pto have a tea or coffee. We were surprised that the local carparks were free … what a bonus.
We walked around the cathedral and were amazed at the beauty of this truly amazing stricture.
We can recommend the Minster Arms for an evening meal, where they offer good food and ample servings.
We only stayed for a day and night but there will definately be another return visit to Ely

We loved the cathedral, which was at its most mystical when we visited in December. We attended two fantastic events in the cathedral during our stay – but needed a mulled wine afterwards to warm us up!
Another high point was the Farmers' market, which had all sorts of tempting foodstuffs on offer.

Loved the cathedral and the purpose of the visit was to see a performance of Dickens “A Christmas Carol” in the evening at the cathedral. A lovely way to start Christmas. A very good production of professional actors. Also went to the market and High Street and Oliver Cromwell’s house. All very interesting and enjoyable. Great pubs, good beer and food within walking distance.

Beautiful town, great variety of small shops.
Beautiful town, great variety of small shops. Very pretty down near the river with the canal boats. Stopped off in the morning at the Almonry Tea Rooms right next to the Cathedral, for great cheese scone and coffee. Great photos to be had of the cathedral from the gardens at the back of Tea Rooms. Had a tasty carvery at the Riverside Bar and Kitchen overlooking the river. Every where very well signposted. Found our way easily to the railway station, when we travelled to Cambridge for the day.
Lovely walk through Cherry Hill Park on the way. Sun shining on Cathedral made great photos! A little bit sad that they charged £10 to get into the cathedral. I think a voluntary donation would have been more appropriate to make a magnificent building accessible to all in these tough times.
Lovely big garden, very friendly and welcoming staff, great breakfast. Very charming place, the opposite of modern soulless chain hotels. I was travelling alone with my very active two year old and whilst we were obviously decades younger than the average guests they couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful.
Room was well equipped and comfortable. Lovely view over the river. Particularly excellent breakfast. Dinner was good but a little limited if staying more than a couple of nights. Fresh vegetable was cabbage every night, fortunately I like cabbage.Staff were helpful and cheerful.
Nice quiet and clean quirky little hotel, clean room well presented, breakfast order was taken and delivered in a friendly and warm manner, definitely going to be staying again,
If you are looking for a hotel with character and charm, try this place. Good value for money.
Fantastic breakfast, delicious fruit and pastries, lovely cooked breakfast very tasty. Lovely coffee Nespresso machine. Lovely staff very attentive. Hotel was only minutes away from Ely centre but well away from any noise from Traffic. Beautiful gardens and house.
The room size was more than ideal for 2+ people, with a decently-appointed bathroom. The hotel staff are very friendly, and the food at the restaurant below was great -- both for dinner as well as for breakfast the following day.
The breakfast was lovely and the size of our room was ok. The staff where very kind and helpful. It wasn't a very far walk to all the shops and cathedral, the drive to Cambridge also wasn't very far so we was able to drive there.
The use of the leisure facilities in the health centre a few yards from the hotel,
The friendly staff
Near places of interest, Ely cathedral, and river,
Lovely walk along river, nice pubs and places to eat.
Boat rides.
