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

We spent 2 nights on Puzzle in November - not the best time to stay on a narrowboat in England but the brilliant central heating made it totally possible. It was very cosy and had absolutely everything we needed. If you're looking for something unique and bespoke, this is definitely the place for you. Martin was an excellent host, meeting us and allowing us to be flexible in checking in and out. There were a few little extras waiting for us on board which were much appreciated plus tea/coffee and condiments etc. For our second night, we bought food from the Tesco superstore (5 minutes walk away) and cooked in. It's a shame the weather was too chilly to sit outside on the deck for drinks or breakfast or to open the side hatches but we'll just have to come again when it's warmer! Ely is a great place and I highly recommend the cathedral tour and Octagon Tower tour.

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.
Perfect location; a short stroll into town and yet so peaceful. Lovely garden which must be such a bonus in warmer weather. The house has character.
Breakfast was well cooked and nothing was too much trouble. Clean room with comfy beds and pillows. Decent supply of tea and coffee in the room. There wasn't any decaf for night time drink but we didn't asked and I am sure if we had it would have been provided. There was a hairdryer and iron , if you needed it.
Staff friendly and helpful.
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?
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.
It was close to a Ely, which was a cute, walking town, with a beautiful church and good restaurants. The suite and bed was very comfortable with a full separate kitchen. Our host, Gill had good local knowledge and helped us tremendously and we had trouble with our rental car. the suite was very comfortable with a full separate kitchen.
More of a personalised experience compared to a boring hotel room.
Great cosy feel with excellent facilities.
Private parking is so convenient.
Everything you need for a couple's stay in the area.
The hosts were really friendly and easily accessible. Overall, we thoroughly recommend a stay and would definitely come again.
clean and lovely rooms with air conditioning and facilities and the staff were helpful and friendly plus the hotel is in a good central location. The restaurant food was very tasty and the gardens lovely to sit on and have a drink in the sun . Ely itself is a lovely town and we’d definitely return for a visit again
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???
There were many ‘nice touches’ in the apartment. A welcome bag of cookies, soft throws for watching TV, milk, tea etc. a really well appointed kitchen and an extremely comfortable living area. It was easy walking distance to the river, cathedral, good restaurants, across the road from the museum.
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.
Our family of 5 had two apartments, and they were beautiful and perfect for our two night stay in Ely! The host left snack baskets & milk in the fridge for us, which was very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed! USB chargers were great. The location is fabulous.
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 location is within walking distance from Ely attractions.
It was nice that the hotel included biscuits with the tea tray.
The breakfast was excellent.
The Victorian property features a splendid garden and spacious rooms. The staff, especially Sophie, were helpful and passionate. Will definitely revisit.
Everything was so nice and the property was incredible. Lovely views of the cathedral. It was more than we expected for the same cost as a lesser hotel!
