The house is superbly placed and close to the amazing Cathedral. And sitting by the river beats the seaside any day. We love it and hope to return in the autumn.
The location was fantastic and had a parking space so hardly moved the car all week. Very easy access to public transport. Really nice to find fresh milk and bread butter etc left for us as meant you could have a nice cuppa before visiting the shops ,in Ely for provisions.Nice places in walking distance to eat out too. Would definitely come back
The property was clean and well maintained. Had a dedicated parking space which was a bonus in the middle of town. A little paved garden at the back was pleasant to sit in. Had everything we needed and we would definitely recommend the property and use it again if we were in the area.
Beautifully presented cottage in a fabulous, central location. Walking distance from the station and only 3 mins walk from the cathedral and the city centre.The property had everything we needed for us to have a relaxing break and the host was very welcoming.We will certainly be returning.
The cottage was absolutely perfect! The hosts made it even more perfect by leaving a very thoughtful card and gift for our daughter. The property was in the most wonderful location, with everything we needed just a short stroll away! We will be back!
A very comfortable, eco house a stone's throw from Ely centre. Everything you could possible need provided and even things you don't NEED like chocolates! Have a guided tour of the cathedral and go to Oliver Cromwell's house - an excellent exhibition.
Thank you for a great holiday.
Excellent location, few minutes walk to cathedral and town centre. House was spotless,parking a plus and thanks to Andy for the bread,biscuits and other wee things on our arrival.Would have no hesitation on recommending No.12
Lovely little cottage - fully equipped kitchen with coffee, tea, milk and biscuits provided on arrival - very welcoming. Great to be able to park just behind. Both beds very comfy. Really close to everything. Thanks - we really enjoyed our stay.
Comfortable attractive modern house in the ancient centre of Ely
We loved our stay here, it’s so well situated in a quiet street just a three minute walk to Ely Cathedral and 10 minutes to the river. And there’s car parking and a sunny courtyard. The house is very well equipped and presented.
The church bells of the nearby cathedral and parish church means you’ll probably not get a long lie-in, but we were charmed.
No.12 is immaculate. Very clean and modern designs throughout. Fabulous location which includes parking. Appreciated that my dog was welcomed with a bowl, towel and treats. Would certainly return.
The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Off street parking is always a bonus with great pubs, tea shops and restaurants within walking distance.
The property was easy to locate,very well appointed and the communication and help from the manager,Andy was first rate. Ely itself was lovely and easy to explore from the property. We went to Wickem Fen,which is a short journey away and very worthwhile to visit.
It would be hard to beat the location of this cottage. Less than a hundred yards up Church Lane and you're at the cathedral and Cromwell's house. A bit more and you're on the high street. Easy walk down to the river. The cottage is modern and comfortable; everything works. Andy was very responsive to questions. Highly recommended. We would love to return.
Beautiful cottage in a quiet, but central position in Ely. Cathedral 2 minutes away And river about ten minutes.hope to return again very soon
