I was upgraded to a larger room than I'd booked (lovely surprise!) which had a balcony and stunning views over the grounds and back towards the cathedral. The room was pristine with an added bonus of a capsule coffee machine (which also dispensed hot water for tea). The bathroom was large and the shower was decent (it leaked a little but the pressure was pretty good). The room did get a little warm overnight but an electric fan was in the room which did the trick. There was plenty of parking and the location wasn't bad for driving into Cambridge (about 30 minutes in morning rush hour).

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.

A small town but very pretty and full of old buildings, especially the humungous cathedral and associated buildings. ( 14 pounds for a visit!) Riverside walk and pub. A pleasant atmosphere. Loads of pubs and eating places of all sorts. Well worth a short visit. I stayed in a central B&B and ate in the Lamb pub by the cathedral. Traffic on the way was a pain but the town has plenty of free parking.

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
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.
This is an old fashioned style hotel and I loved it but would not necessarily be everyones ideal place. Yes it needs a bit of updating in places but that was its charm. Very comfortable nights sleep, breakfast good, grounds lovely, great location. Host was great and so were his staff while he was away.
The hotel is very well situated just round the corner from Ely Cathedral.
The rooms are all well appointed and spacious. The staff are extremely helpful.
There was a substantial breakfast including both cooked items and a variety of cereals, fruit and bakery items.
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
