    About the only thing that I would say would be that a grab rail on the wall in the shower would be nice. Those of us getting a bit wobbly on our legs might find it handy.

    For the first time ever, we booked the room that featured in the publicity and all I can say is that it was superb. The room and bathroom were larger than usual and the view looking up the river was truly splendid. Within the room, the furnishing were lovely and in excellent condition and the bathroom had a range of good toiletries rather than the bulk buy type which are becoming more common. There were teas, coffees etc, biscuits and two bottles of water. The shower was powerful, hot water plentiful. Breakfast was basically continental but with grilled sausages, bacon, tomatoes and scrambled egg also available. Individual bowls of FRESH fruit salad, a couple of types of cereal and GF cornflakes, croissants, toast. Jam, marmalade, cheeses.

    See my comments above

    The room was clean and comfortable and the house itself is situated right on the river bank giving excellent views of the river. The breakfast was excellent with cooked food, croissants, toast and all the trimmings available. The only complaint is that the television control did not work the television but that wasn't really a problem as the television had controls located on the television itself. Unfortunately Ely itself didn't have much to offer as far as tourist attractions are concerned (apart from the Cathedral and Oliver Cromwell's House) but walks along the river were enjoyable. Eating places tended to be along the riverside but quite expensive. The town closed down at night leaving just a few restaurants and pubs where one could find food.

    Car parking is quoted as free but this is just public on the street parking. All parking in Ely appears to be free so not really a feature worth mentioning. The spaces were full most of our stay. You really have to pay for the reserved spaces in the car park - should either say parking available at extra charge or this should just be included in the price.

    Excellent location by the river with a restaurant and pub on either side. Décor in room was very nice; all good condition etc. Room comfortable, nice bathroom, all modern facilities. Good breakfast and this is the only time you meet any staff.

The location was excellent by the river, near to restaurants, a pub and tea rooms. There were about 5 car parking spaces behind the property and some more nearby.

    As no deluxe room was available, our room was a standard double but was small and felt cramped. We were warned it had no view and that was certainly true! Sound proofing from other rooms wasn't great.

    Great riverside location Room and shower room featured high quality fittings. The rooms were decorated and maintained to a very high standard Very clean Powerful shower. Comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Note that Deluxe rooms at the front overlook the river with super views Excellent nearby restaurants
