    The cabin is very comfortable, beautifully designed and furnished, and very well equipped. The host, Claire, could not have been more helpful, and the sustainability ethos and practice of the site are exemplary. It was also wonderful to be able...

The Queen of Hearts cabin and Timber Tents are cosy glamping set in a quirky wildflower field with space for wildlife. In the winter the cosy log burner and fairy lights makes for a very romantic evening. There are lots of higgledy paths running through the wildflowers. We have a small pond with benches and 3000 newly planted trees. The sunsets and views of Ely Cathedral are amazing, with easy access to the River Ouse for lovely walks.
At Mad Hatters Campsite we are very passionate about the environment and helping wildlife. We set up the campsite to give plenty of space for guests and wildlife. We have regular visits from wild birds, hares, moorhens, an occasional badger, hedgehog, water voles, field mice, bats, deer and barn owls. We also have a full recycling station for all your rubbish.
Ely Cathedral, Cromwells House, walks along the river and Wicken Fen are my favourites. With plenty of choice for afternoon tea in Ely.
