The Old Hall Ely, hotel in Ely

Situated in Ely, 30 km from University of Cambridge, The Old Hall Ely features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

We loved the decor, grounds and the views from the hotel. Each room had its own unique design which was lovely. The bathrooms were very grand and the use of robes was lovely!

Little Downham Anchor, hotel in Ely

Situated in Ely, 32 km from University of Cambridge, Little Downham Anchor features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Stayed in two different rooms (as booked them separately). Both very decent rooms one twin, one double and the hotel was very quiet both nights. Very clean overall (but the bottom edge of the shower glass in my first room could do with descaling). Staff very welcoming and accommodating. I stayed for the horse trials nearby for which it is really well located. I didn’t use it but the bar area looked clean and comfortable. There wasn’t much room in the car park (the hotel was full), but there is plenty of roadside parking outside. The box of Danish left for early departing guests is a nice touch. The kitchen was closed my first night (Fri) due to a private function but there is a decent takeaway a few doors along the street.

Narrowboat Puzzle, hotel in Ely

Boasting river views, Narrowboat Puzzle features accommodation on a 60-foot narrowboat in Ely, around 2 km from Ely Cathedral.

We spent 2 nights on Puzzle in November - not the best time to stay on a narrowboat in England but the brilliant central heating made it totally possible. It was very cosy and had absolutely everything we needed. If you're looking for something unique and bespoke, this is definitely the place for you. Martin was an excellent host, meeting us and allowing us to be flexible in checking in and out. There were a few little extras waiting for us on board which were much appreciated plus tea/coffee and condiments etc. For our second night, we bought food from the Tesco superstore (5 minutes walk away) and cooked in. It's a shame the weather was too chilly to sit outside on the deck for drinks or breakfast or to open the side hatches but we'll just have to come again when it's warmer! Ely is a great place and I highly recommend the cathedral tour and Octagon Tower tour.

    Arrived in wet weather and enjoyed an afternoon in the Outstanding Cathedral. A comfortable stay in a well furnished apartment. What a wonderful surprise The Eel festival on the Saturday, wish we could have stayed an extra night or two….

    Ely is a wonderful small town for a few days stay - along the river is excellent on a fine day and a nice pub to have a drink and watch the world go by. Ely Cathedral was magnificent - we have visited many across UK and this is certainly one of the best - Stained Glass exhibition is also worth a visit. Cromwells House and Ely Museum worth a visit if you have time. Ely Cathedral has the Armoury Cafe which we would recommended for lunch. For dinner: The Lamb was excellent with wonderful food at a fair price.

    Stayed at a hotel 10 minutes walk into Ely, the weather was extremely windy but we enjoyed the walk. We found quite a few quirly shops plus alll the usual high street shops, a few cafes and few places pto have a tea or coffee. We were surprised that the local carparks were free … what a bonus. We walked around the cathedral and were amazed at the beauty of this truly amazing stricture. We can recommend the Minster Arms for an evening meal, where they offer good food and ample servings. We only stayed for a day and night but there will definately be another return visit to Ely

    We loved the cathedral, which was at its most mystical when we visited in December. We attended two fantastic events in the cathedral during our stay – but needed a mulled wine afterwards to warm us up! Another high point was the Farmers' market, which had all sorts of tempting foodstuffs on offer.

    Loved the cathedral and the purpose of the visit was to see a performance of Dickens “A Christmas Carol” in the evening at the cathedral. A lovely way to start Christmas. A very good production of professional actors. Also went to the market and High Street and Oliver Cromwell’s house. All very interesting and enjoyable. Great pubs, good beer and food within walking distance.

    A warm welcome to a classic country house hotel with open fires, cozy lounges, and a well-stocked bar. We had a well-appointed, clean and comfortable room with a great shower. The restaurant was excellent and the service was friendly and professional, we ended up eating here both nights. The breakfast was also very good, with perfectly cooked eggs, very nice and views across to Ely Cathedral. I am sure that we will be back, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Old Hall.

    It was close to a Ely, which was a cute, walking town, with a beautiful church and good restaurants. The suite and bed was very comfortable with a full separate kitchen. Our host, Gill had good local knowledge and helped us tremendously and we had trouble with our rental car. the suite was very comfortable with a full separate kitchen.

    More of a personalised experience compared to a boring hotel room. Great cosy feel with excellent facilities. Private parking is so convenient. Everything you need for a couple's stay in the area. The hosts were really friendly and easily accessible. Overall, we thoroughly recommend a stay and would definitely come again.

    Excellent situation close to Cathedral, shops etc Lovely old coaching inn, clean and comfortable. Food very good and staff pleasant and helpful. Main reason for choosing is the fact that it is dog friendly. Dogs allowed in bedrooms, bar and restaurant.

    Great alternative to a hotel, especially if you want to self-cater. The location in the centre of Ely is also good if that is what you need, but also close to a public car park if you need to do business in the area and are there with a car.

    Affordable room compared to other venues in Ely. Nice old guest house with a lovely looking garden (too cold to be outside in early March). Good breakfast in a large dining room overlooking the garden.

    Gem of an apartment. Tucked away but central to the centre of Ely and an ideal location to base for exploring the town and an evening out. Car parking all around and free. Had a great couple of days.
