    The cabin is very comfortable, beautifully designed and furnished, and very well equipped. The host, Claire, could not have been more helpful, and the sustainability ethos and practice of the site are exemplary. It was also wonderful to be able to see both sunrise and sunset from the cabin! And, while in the peace and quiet of the Cambridgeshire countryside, it was only a five minutes drive to beautiful Ely.

    Fabulous. Even better than the pictures. We found it cosy even in December and we had every thing we needed.Lots of thought has clearly gone into this from the themed decor to the electric blanket A real fairytale hideaway for two. Great area to visit. We enjoyed historic Ely and WWT welney marshes. It was great returning to our comfy cabin after a day exploring to sit and watch the sun setting behind the cathedral. Many wonderful memories. Thank you.

    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.

    Great value for money. For just a slightly higher price than the Travelodge, the Windmill Cottage had luxuries such as its own fridge, oven, toaster, TV, DVD player, kitchenware, and more. It was also very clean.
