"The hotel is situated in a charming central location in Ely. My suite was furnished to a high standard, the outstanding feature, of course, being the free-standing copper bath in the bedroom! Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and was delicious. My only slight niggle is that I expected better than the standard tube of instant coffee in the room, other provisons, such as the toiletries, being of a high quality, l and was glad I took my own sachets of ground coffee!"

"Small double room with no fresh air window but it had air con and was tidy. Bathroom good. Breakfast as impressive, ordered Eggs Benedict and the staff were friendly and helpful. Nice dining room and bar/lounge."

Poets House

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for one night and had a wonderful time! The staff were all so friendly, approachable and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt welcomed straight away. Our room (room 12) was beautifully decorated, very spacious and spotlessly clean. The air conditioning in the room was really good. We had Sunday lunch which was lovely. The roast potatoes could’ve been crispier but everything was tasty and well presented. Breakfast was very good too. Lovely hot food from the kitchen and a nice little continental selection. The car park is a few minutes walk away but they were fine with us parking in the courtyard to unload our suitcase. We look forward to staying there again soon!"
