Very good
Liked: The room was nice and the bar area was comfy for lovely cocktails.
Disliked: It would be great if kettles could be put in rooms. There is no phone either so on waking we realised we couldn’t make tea.

Beautiful location close to Ely
Liked: We stayed in November, during the off-season, only about three to four rooms were reserved, making the place exceptionally quiet. Antonina greeted us warmly when we arrived. We were delighted with our beautiful, well-lit room; however, the heater was turned off, so it took a little time to warm up. The grounds were stunning, and the location was convenient, being close to Ely. There were many cozy areas where we could sit to read, chat, or play cards. The bathroom was spacious, featuring a large tub and shower. The bed was very comfortable and came with plenty of pillows to choose from. Overall, the atmosphere was very peaceful.
Disliked: Dinner options were limited, and we could order a cheese, meat, or vegetable board, none of which we found particularly tasty. For breakfast, I expected more variety for the $20 price, even though they do offer a hot entree menu. We ended up leaving to find something more satisfying to eat.

Superb
Liked: Absolutely stunning property, room and grounds. Such places can suffer from being a bit snobbish but not here. The staff were immensely pleasant, welcoming and down to earth.

The hotel provided an excellent...
Liked: My wife and I had an excellent 2 night break here to visit Ely and Cambridge. The hotel had a suitably old world charm as would be expected of its age but with modern touches that kept it from being "twee". Lots of comfortable seating areas by roaring log fires. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious and the en-suite was huge (not the usual cupboard converted to a shower one often finds). No lack of heating in the room, you will not go cold!The restaurant served good quality food (booking essential) and an excellent breakfast in the morning.The highest praise goes to the staff who were amazing. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. None of the false smiles, people genuinely interested in the conversations they had with you. It truly is a friendly, family owned and run hotel. Thoroughly recommended.
Disliked: There was really nothing which stood out for criticism.
