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.

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.
Within easy walking distance of the main attractions of what is in effect a small town. Attractive garden, ideal for a summer stay. Inside, like an old-fashioned small hotel with comfortable public area and a bar. Very pleased to be offered an evening meal. It is unusual in England nowadays in a place in this price range to be able to order a drink at the bar, take it outside into the garden and then go inside for dinner, and still walk into town afterwards. And decent breakfast.
- very calm and quiet rural area
- private parking next to the house (door to door)
- modern, homely and warm house with live TV
- fully equipped kitchen: table, chairs, cooker, microwave, kettle, fridge, pans, plates, mugs, cutlery etc. - more than I have ;-)
- fresh milk, croissants, biscuits and chocolates + coffee/tea/sugar
- comfortable bed
- towels provided
- friendly owners
Lovely big garden, very friendly and welcoming staff, great breakfast. Very charming place, the opposite of modern soulless chain hotels. I was travelling alone with my very active two year old and whilst we were obviously decades younger than the average guests they couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful.
Great location for walking to shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. Ely is charming and easy to walk round.
The room was warm and the shower very good.
Luckily, we got a space in the small hotel car park because public parking is restricted to 3 hours. How to manage that in a 2-night stay???
The Hotel was in a great location for visiting the sites of Ely close to the pubs and restaurants. All the staff we met were friendly, courteous and helpful. Our room was comfortable and even air conditioned. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice of mains.
Great alternative to a hotel, especially if you want to self-cater. The location in the centre of Ely is also good if that is what you need, but also close to a public car park if you need to do business in the area and are there with a car.
The hotel itself is lovely and is set in beautifully tended gardens. Our room was very comfortable, of a good size and had a delightful view, including the Cathedral, from the window. The food was delicious and the staff were charming.
Excellent location for our visit to Ely. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Continental breakfast was very good. We would like to come again some time
Great location, very quiet, lovely view of the river from our room. Although I dont normally like continental breakfast in february it was a delicious selection. Very clean and comfy bed.
Host allowed us in early which was very kind as we had bags and only 1 days to see all the wonderful sights of Ely. The location was excellent right in the centre of Ely.
Superb room, friendly welcome, lovely and quiet at night, delicious breakfast with loads of choice, and excellent location in the city Centre with free parking
