    Arrived in wet weather and enjoyed an afternoon in the Outstanding Cathedral. A comfortable stay in a well furnished apartment. What a wonderful surprise The Eel festival on the Saturday, wish we could have stayed an extra night or two….

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely Fantastic. What you would expect from 5 Star Accommodation. Breakfast was lovely and a great selection. Spotlessly clean. Great location on the River. It made up in heaps for what started as an horrendous experience at another hotel. Thank you and we will definitely be back. Regards Caroline 😊

    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.

    Great alternative to a hotel, especially if you want to self-cater. The location in the centre of Ely is also good if that is what you need, but also close to a public car park if you need to do business in the area and are there with a car.
