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.
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?
Elegant and boutique decor and fantastic central location.
The staff at Poets House really make this hotel, The reception staff were lovely and the dining room in particular has the best waiters and waitress I’ve come across! Friendly, Cheery they all had a lovely manner making for such a nice evening. There are many places to eat nearby however so glad we ate in house because the brilliant restaurant staff make the food all the better!
Comfortable bed, spacious. Slept really well there. Almost everything you might need is provided. Milk and water in fridge, and snacks provided on arrival was nice touch. Friendly family, most welcoming. Very easy drive into Ely, even in rush hour.
Parking space right by front door, so easy to unload/load.
Slippers provided, so carpets are much cleaner than you would find in a hotel.
Lovely hotel, staff were so friendly and helpful, room was spotless and air conditioning made it even better. I can honestly say its the best breakfast I've had. Location was perfect the river was 5 minutes walk away and the town centre 5 minutes the other way. Will definitely be returning.
Lovely old building, tastefully modernised but retaining unique features like the old bread oven near the bar. Very friendly and helpful staff, quickly changed our bed arrangement on arrival.
The full English breakfast was the best ever, with home made spicy black pudding to die for 😉
Nice quiet and clean quirky little hotel, clean room well presented, breakfast order was taken and delivered in a friendly and warm manner, definitely going to be staying again,
If you are looking for a hotel with character and charm, try this place. Good value for money.
Great location overlooking the river. The property is beautifully decorated. Excellent breakfast with a great variety on offer. Lovely fresh coffee. Despite being beside a walkway along the river, it was very quiet. A pleasant 5-10 minute walk from the railway station.
The location was fantastic! I loved walking right across the street to the Waitrose and all other shops. The property is very well kept, updated and quite lovely. Free parking right outside. Ely is darling. Just a fantastic stay. Thank you!
The hotel itself is lovely and is set in beautifully tended gardens. Our room was very comfortable, of a good size and had a delightful view, including the Cathedral, from the window. The food was delicious and the staff were charming.
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.
It was a lovely room, very clean and had everything we could ask for with two young kids. The location was perfect for us to visit friends in Ely nearby and was easy to find. Charming classical decor, very cosy.
A very well appointed house close to the centre of Ely ahd handy for a Cambridge visit. Excellent pub behind the property for food. Recommend the micro-pub towards the bottom of the High Street.
The hotel room size was excellent. It was very clean. The location is perfect. The breakfast was lovely and the restaurant is great. The staff are lovely too. The food was wonderful.
