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.

    Perfect location; a short stroll into town and yet so peaceful. Lovely garden which must be such a bonus in warmer weather. The house has character. Breakfast was well cooked and nothing was too much trouble. Clean room with comfy beds and pillows. Decent supply of tea and coffee in the room. There wasn't any decaf for night time drink but we didn't asked and I am sure if we had it would have been provided. There was a hairdryer and iron , if you needed it. Staff friendly and helpful.

    The Boathouse is maintained immaculately and it even has a large private garden as a bonus. The hosts provide all essentials including a bottle of milk, tea/coffee, jams, microwave, iron etc. The property is larger than the photographs portray and is stylishly presented providing for a relaxing and homely stay. A car is essential as the property is in a countryside location. I would definitely recommend this property especially if you are looking for somewhere to relax in peace and quiet.

    This was an amazing place to stay, full of character, a lovely garden and an exceptional evening meal. It may not be the most modern of hotels and lacks double glazing but that did not really matter. The evening meal I had was so well cooked and presented and you did not feel that quality was sacrificed to quantity. The dining room is very elegant as is the lounge. The hotel itself is an easy walk to the cathedral and town centre.

    Comfortable bed, spacious. Slept really well there. Almost everything you might need is provided. Milk and water in fridge, and snacks provided on arrival was nice touch. Friendly family, most welcoming. Very easy drive into Ely, even in rush hour. Parking space right by front door, so easy to unload/load. Slippers provided, so carpets are much cleaner than you would find in a hotel.

    Lovely hotel, staff were so friendly and helpful, room was spotless and air conditioning made it even better. I can honestly say its the best breakfast I've had. Location was perfect the river was 5 minutes walk away and the town centre 5 minutes the other way. Will definitely be returning.

    Our family of 5 had two apartments, and they were beautiful and perfect for our two night stay in Ely! The host left snack baskets & milk in the fridge for us, which was very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed! USB chargers were great. The location is fabulous.
