We had a charming room on the top floor in the older part of the building. The room was very clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable and inviting. The bathroom was large and the rain type shower invigorating. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was outstanding. And, although we were just passing through on our travels, we would definitely stay here again.

We arrived after a long journey to a very friendly welcome. The accommodation was great, all new looking and very clean. We had a balcony looking over the river. We had a great meal in the pub. We went for a walk around Littleport which is full of interesting history. We will return and stay a bit longer, there's plenty to do and visit from this location.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a small issue and the manager communicated this to us before we arrived and offered a few ways to solve it. In the end the problem was solved before we arrived. Really great customer service!! The room was comfortable and stocked with tea, coffee and biscuits. The location is great and the parking was very easy.

Very comfortable stay for us and our 5 month old baby (we brought our own travel crib). Short drive to Ely where we were attending a wedding. Excellent communications with Peter and Gill, who are very friendly and accommodating. The studio is spacious and light-filled (love the big window) yet cosy, with a well equipped kitchen. We would definitely return if we were to be in the area again. Thank you for a great stay!

    Ely is a compact city and the sights can be seen is a day. The jewel is undoubtedly the cathedral which is stunning. We ascended the octagon tower which is a 'must'. A riverside walk is also very worthwhile.

    The quaint city of Ely in the county of Cambridgeshire,...

    The quaint city of Ely in the county of Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom is far enough off the beaten path and such a lovely place worth visiting that I highly recommend a visit. If you are like me and look for remarkable sites with a lot of local culture while avoiding major crowds, then Ely is your place. Here are my main reasons why you should consider a 2-3 day visit to Ely as part of your UK holiday. 1. Ely Cathedral -- be sure to book a tour in advance. I highly recommend taking the Octagon tour also -- a world architectural marvel! 2. Ely Museum, Stained Glass Museum, Oliver Cromwell's house, waterfront, and walking paths. 3. Local culture. We found a laid back and inviting community. We engaged in numerous conversations with so many people over the weekend. It was welcoming and relaxing. Ely is truly a hidden gem!

    Ely is a small city with a big cathedral. The cathedral is impressive both inside and out. Other attractions are Oliver Cromwell's house, a museum, riverside with marina and lively Saturday market. Parking is generally free so it is an easy destination for a day visit.

    A lot to see in a compact, walkable area.

    A lot to see in a compact, walkable area. The Cathedral is very impressive, with great, guided tours and I attended several services. City Museum and Cromwell Museum are each worth a visit. Walking around the town, from the top of the hill to the Riverfront was very interesting and enjoyable.

    Great small town, close to Cambridge, good rail links. Ely itself has an impressive Cathedral, and nice canal with narrow boats and pubs. Often has activities on during the spring/summer months, loved listening to music by the bandstand.

    Always loved Ely having trained at the RAF Hospital in 1965, met and married my late husband and made wonderful forever friends. The little city has a long history, delightful old buildings and a magnificent Cathedral and is surrounded by pretty villages, its own railway station and interesting Fenland. So worth a visit with Cambridge an added bonus.
