Poets House

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful welcome. Lovely room (although up two flights of stairs with no lift - the staff did offer assistance though so all good). Lovely building and our room had a wonderful view. Great breakfast. We were only there for one night but would definitely recommend."

The Old School House Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"All good 👍 would book again"

Woodpecker

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, peaceful location, great hottub"

Riverside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was extremely good and the view over the river amazing. It’s the first time we’ve stayed in a guesthouse where you have a code for the main door, pick up your key and good to go. Didn’t see anyone else. Breakfast was the first time we saw any of the staff, extremely helpful and polite, breakfast was delicious but even though very well cooked the choice was only scrambled egg, sausages, crispy bacon and cooked tomato. Fine for a short stay, but I didn’t want cereal or fresh fruit and snakes, I do enjoy a cooked breakfast, needs a little choice rotation I think? Excellent stop over for a short break, Ely is a beautiful town. Would use again"
