So much fun staying on a boat! Made the weekend. So central for Ely and surrounding areas. Great welcome and tips on local eateries.

A first-time experience of being on a narrowboat. I was drawn to the quirkiness of the experience taken as a whole. It exceeded my expectations. My fear of not getting a good night’s sleep, given the size of the bed, was unfounded. The setting and the proximity to Ely centre are big plusses too.

Fabulous stay! Wonderful experience with the boat being in a great location. Super clean with all the mod cons and super cosy. Little treats left for us too which were really appreciated

Very good location. Very positive experience, positive welcome upon arrival. Provided a true experience of narrowboat living, just what we were looking for. Ample fresh linen, towels, coffee/tea etc. Pots and pans to cook if desired. Everything had been well considered for our comfort during our stay. A small table and chairs on deck provided a nice vantage point to contemplate the beautiful surrounds. The only possible negative was a disused narrow boat sat alongside our boat and this may likely deter some people from revisiting, the owner may want to consider this aspect. We did not mind as felt it was just part of the real experience of living on a narrowboat. It was very picturesque with plenty of local historical buildings etc, to explore. Quaint tea shops within 10/15 minute walk and eating places within 2 minute walk. Beautiful easy access to varied countryside walking. Booking in was a breeze and the communication and helpfulness of G was fantastic throughout. I would list this under a very positive new and different experience that is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely highly recommend.

We had a great stay on this lovely narrowboat. Immaculately clean, excellent location on the river with great views, easy walking distance to the shops, eateries and cathedral, peaceful and quiet. Graf was very helpful, answering our questions and explaining how things work. We had all the amenities we needed on board including a bottle of wine and some nice chocolates. I would definitely recommend.

Something a bit different. Very comfortable and quiet and could hardly feel the motion of the water at all. Great location - walkable everywhere. Garf who looks after the boat was a great help! Highly recommend.

Excellent!! They had thought of everything! We stayed for my husbands 50th and he loved it! Bed was so comfortable and boat was lovely and warm and cosy :) lots of space too! Thank you very much, great experience

A superb and unusual weekend away - we honestly couldn't have chosen much better. Narrowboat Puzzle is a great little find in a quiet part of Ely, yet there are pubs and the town close by. The narrowboat is superbly appointed and spotless, and the owner is very helpful - he spent time explaining local tourist attractions and telling us which restaurants in town were best. The boat itself has a comfy seating area, a good kitchen with everything you might need (including a coffee pod machine!) and a comfy bed, and a great shower with (very!) hot water. Despite the weather outside we found the boat warm and comfortable and we very much enjoyed all that it had to offer.One thing to bear in mind - access to the boat involves climbing over another boat and using a number of steps. I would therefore suggest that it isn't ideal for anyone with mobility issues. My partner and I will definitely be back - this place is amazing.

Fab experience, lovely narrowboat and moored near Restaurants , Teahouse, Art Gallery and Antique Centre and nearby Ely Town Centre. Warm and gracious welcome by owner Martin . Peaceful and relaxing setting with comfortable if different accommodation ( mind your head going up the steps the first time- you soon learn!) Made friends with Fishermen and Geese! A lovely retreat

We really enjoyed our stay. Two of us but we used both the sofa bed and main bed, both comfortable. We didn’t cook on board as it was only 1 night but there was a good stock of pans, utensils etc. and the place is certainly spotless and cozy for a boat, we both felt very much at home. Location is perfect and because we had 2 beautiful sunny days in January it was ideal and also quiet.

We would definitely recommend this boat, and stay again if we were in the area.
