Excellent location for our visit to Ely. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Continental breakfast was very good. We would like to come again some time

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.

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.
The location, the food and the room was exceptional !!
Very peaceful and comfortable
The Room was immaculately clean and well presented with a great balcony looking over the river.
Bathroom is probably the best bathroom I’ve had in a hotel.
Food was fantastic
And the service was perfect couldn’t be more helpful and friendly.
A hidden gem I will definitely return.
This hotel is in an excellent location for the city centre. The room was fabulous with a very comfy bed and fantastic bathroom. The breakfast menu had plenty to choose from and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were all lovely and friendly and we were especially impressed with Alex and his evening meal wine list.
clean and lovely rooms with air conditioning and facilities and the staff were helpful and friendly plus the hotel is in a good central location. The restaurant food was very tasty and the gardens lovely to sit on and have a drink in the sun . Ely itself is a lovely town and we’d definitely return for a visit again
Room was well equipped and comfortable. Lovely view over the river. Particularly excellent breakfast. Dinner was good but a little limited if staying more than a couple of nights. Fresh vegetable was cabbage every night, fortunately I like cabbage.Staff were helpful and cheerful.
A beautiful well maintained property is a lovely setting. Our bedroom was large and very comfortable with a very clean modern en-suite. Breakfast was good. The entire property was equivalent to a four star hotel.
Excellent location for our visit to Ely. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Continental breakfast was very good. We would like to come again some time
Quaint little hotel with very nice garden within walking distance of Ely cathedral. Very friendly service, rich breakfast. After a very hot week in London a lovely respite - highly recommended!
Great location, very quiet, lovely view of the river from our room. Although I dont normally like continental breakfast in february it was a delicious selection. Very clean and comfy bed.
Apartment was lovely, very clean and comfy, had everything you needed Inc Netflix! Will definitely come back. Owner was really nice and even offered to drop us at the station.
Quaint old building with easy access to the town of Ely. Housekeeper Jose is amazing! Robert is great! Cooked a full English breakfast for us! Luggage stored for the day too!
Staff was brilliant, very helpful lovely place stay got to do some walking around the place.Will definitely come back again.
