I hadn't been to Ely before and it was great for a short break & is well worth a visit. The cathedral was fabulous and the town centre is quaint with lots of lovely tea shops. The Octagon Tower tour at the cathedral was a particularly highlight.

Small town with an impressive Cathedral and some cute shops. The Ely fudge shop is a must. You'll be drawn to it by the smell! Good for a weekend away. Not somewhere I'd spend longer than 2 days though as there's not a huge amount to do.

Our room was a lot bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed in and could not fault it at all. It was clean, spacious and comfortable with a plenty of clean towels, tea and coffee making facilities.
We had breakfast the next morning which was great with a full cooked breakfast, cereals, fruit and pastries. The location was great, easy to access and free parking. Overall a great hotel that we would stay in again should be visit the area"
