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.

One of the most magnificent cathedrals in Europe,which sits in most beautiful parkland, at the centre of a bustling, prosperous, quirky small town on a major river in the heart of the fascinating Fenlands of England

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.
Honestly, do yourself a favour and try the pub across the road that doubles up as a hotel. Our trip was very short notice and we booked Ely GH the day before, but we were disappointed to find that double rooms are priced way cheaper at the Pub and they also do a fantastic Sunday roast. I always read reviews before booking but let my guard down here, never again. It was probably one of the worse places I have ever stayed in my life and I’m not young.
BTW, I gave £110, where is my change?
Stunning inner courtyard with al fresco dining, that’s also great for a drink and read. Beautifully appointed rooms with good air conditioning, great shower and plenty of space. Staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful. The whole place feels classy and relaxed. Few minutes stroll to Ely Cathedral which you can see from the hotel dining room. The hotel kindly stored our bikes inside in a safe place. Highly recommended. Arrive early and leave late to soak up the atmosphere.
The location, the food and the room was exceptional !!
Very peaceful and comfortable
The Room was immaculately clean and well presented with a great balcony looking over the river.
Bathroom is probably the best bathroom I’ve had in a hotel.
Food was fantastic
And the service was perfect couldn’t be more helpful and friendly.
A hidden gem I will definitely return.
Great location for walking to shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. Ely is charming and easy to walk round.
The room was warm and the shower very good.
Luckily, we got a space in the small hotel car park because public parking is restricted to 3 hours. How to manage that in a 2-night stay???
Lovely hotel, staff were so friendly and helpful, room was spotless and air conditioning made it even better. I can honestly say its the best breakfast I've had. Location was perfect the river was 5 minutes walk away and the town centre 5 minutes the other way. Will definitely be returning.
Castle Lodge was a basic hotel in a good location in Ely. It wasn't a great hotel, but the process reflected that. You get what you pay for and I have no complaints. Would happily go again. If you don't want to spend a lot and you're OK with just the basics, Castle Lodge is just fine.
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 staff were incredible, they are supportive and helpful. Very cheerful and willing to assist. The location of the hotel was good for us as we wanted to be away from the city. Ely is a short train ride from Cambridge.
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
Beautiful hotel, stylish decor, lovely manicured gardens and friendly accommodating staff. Our room was spacious and clean. The bed is probably the most comfortable hotel bed we have ever slept in.
Great location close to town centre, lovely spacious property, everything that you could need for a short stay is there. Generally very clean and looked after. Easy parking nearby, quiet location.
Lovely clean, comfortable place to stay in a nice quiet area. Everything you could need and some nice touches such as milk and water in the fridge. Peter saw us in and was very welcoming.
The hotel itself was very pleasant, staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was largely quiet as I had a stable room away from the main building. Shower was powerful and hot.
