With a thatched roof and white stone walls, The Old Ferry Boat is considered England’s oldest inn. Overlooking the Great Ouse River, the rooms are tastefully furnished and have free Wi-Fi.

The Old Ferry Boat was built in Anglo Saxon times. Historical documents record that liquor was sold here as early as 560 AD but the foundations are thought to be a century older.

Beautiful!! Love the history, loved the country location!! it is close to Cambridge, but didn’t have time to go there, so will have to come stay again! There were plenty of places to go for beautiful walks. 😍 Staff was Great and food was good! Cheers!🍺

    I had a very enjoyable stay at the Golden Lion which is a modernised tradional coaching inn. nice cooked breakfast as opposed to a buffet was a definite bonus. no car parking on site but local paid car parking is close by and very affordable at £4. Dinner was in the lounge bar or restatuant area. Good enough range of food including hanging Kebabs!

    A charming inn, steeped in history, located in a beautiful riverside hamlet. The room was compact, but very comfortable and clean. The restaurant served excellent food and beer. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Luckily for us, this location was a clue in our photographic challenge and was a perfect place to stay.

    The hotel was in a great location. It appears to have been refurbished recently and was spotless throughout. Staff were all super-friendly and welcoming. Our dinner was very good.

    It is a very old Inn right on the River Great Ouse. The restaurant is delightful as is the outside area beside the river. It is very peaceful and a somewhat 'secret' location.

    Breakfast was excellent, room was small but clean with an excellent shower. The location was rural which is what we wanted. All in all a very pleasant stay, in a very historic inn. Already booked for a months time.
