Make sure you're the right class when booking here. I phoned to place a booking yesterday and everything was going well before I mentioned I was working in the area, at which point the proprietor said, 'oh, oh, hang on a minute', and returned to say, 'oh, I'm sorry, my husband took a booking and didn't put it in the...

Lovely central position and delightful period house. Having a suite was a delight and the room had everthing one might need. Jenny was a gracious hostess and the breakfast was lovely. A small gripe is that, as vegetarians, we always feel a bit cheated that breakfast is the same as meat eaters would have, minus meat. At the top end... More

I would recommend this hotel. Our room was really small and the bathroom tiny but the decor was tasteful and really well finished with modern decor in the bathroom but lots of period features in the room and around the hotel. The breakfast room is spectacular and our excellent cooked breakfast was included in the price. The whole hotel was... More

I booked at short notice, and was given a small but perfect room in the self - contained Cottage, (the main house being full) it was beautifully decorated and furnished.( plenty of windows!1) Clean and comfortable. Had everything I could wish for, including copious reading material! So much care and love put into the interior décor. Hosts Jenny and Robin... More

My husband and I, along with our close friend, stayed in the self catering Coach House for 10 nights, followed by one more night in the Cathedral House bed and breakfast. To say that our stay was wonderful is not enough praise for the cozy, quaint and comfortable accommodations we experienced in both homes. The Coach House was amply sized... More

We stayed for one night only in a very clean and comfortable twin room. The bathroom however was lacking a shower, and for "older" people there were no grab rails on the bath. The house is in a lovely situation, full of character, with very pleasant hosts. My only "gripe" would be about the tea bags - all slightly scented... More

Very central convenient location for Ely. The house is full of Victoriana "quirky" bits and pieces which add to the ambiance. The twin bedded room we stayed in was clean and spacious and nicely furnished although the added bathroom en suite was a little cramped and if you were over UK ladies dress size 16 you would have a problem...

We stayed in the Coach House, next door to Cathedral House. The location is perfect for the cathedral and the centre of town, and only a short walk from the riverside. Very friendly hosts and a well-cooked breakfast. The rooms themselves had a lot of character and were very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it... More
