Less than 10 minutes’ walk from Ely Cathedral, The Nyton offers well-appointed accommodation alongside a high-quality restaurant. There is free parking and Wi-Fi at this guest house, which is 30 minutes’ drive north of Cambridge.

Breakfast was 10/10 - such a nice variety of cold and hot foods. Great coffee. Really nice homemade & home grown cooked apple. Dinners were just as good, especially the pork in crème fraiche. Lovely dessert too. Robert & Zanna are great to chat to, they have lots of hilarious stories. They really made me feel so welcome and as if I were at home. The garden was lovely and I could see the cathedral from my window. I’m looking forward to staying again in the future.

Formerly an inn from the 18th /19th century, this family-run, Ely Guest House is just 2 minutes’ walk from beautiful Ely Cathedral.

Offering comfortable lodge facilities, the friendly guest house has modern, fully furnished rooms with en suite facilities. The 5 guest rooms are uniquely decorated with period furnishings and fine linens.

It was so clean and comfortable, the staff was lovely, friendly and welcoming, I can't wait to visit again.

    The host was very welcoming and attentive : e.g., during meal times. The food at both the evening meal and at breakfast was both wholesome and satisfying. It's an easy walk to the cathedral from The Nyton Guesthouse: Ely Cathedral is amazing! The property has a large garden and I look forward to visiting again during the summer.

    Great location, quiet and easy stroll in to Ely. Comfortable beds, fab shower, good facilities and everything we needed. Host was responsive and helpful. Nice to have those everyday items around that we didn't think of packing - thank you.

    Rob was a great host who was very welcoming, even left us treats which were a nice surprise and much appreciated The accommodation was spotless and very homely. The city centre is within walking distance so perfect for a spot of lunch or dinner along the river. Myself and my partner enjoyed our stay very much and will be looking to return in the near future.

    Great property in a great location. It is spotlessly clean, so comfortable and cosy with every convenience and decorated to a very high standard. The host has put a lot of thought into providing so many 'extras' including baby items, breakfast foods and milk in the fridge. It is within easy access of Ely and major roads yet in a quiet picturesque spot. We will definitely ask to stay here again when we are next in the area.
