The room was comfortable with an en-suite shower room and toiletries. When we arrived the lady on reception was ok but not overly welcoming. We were shown up to our room and that was fine. We went to the toilet and the flush wouldn’t work. We told reception and then went out. By the time we got back the flush had been fixed and we had no more problems with it at all.

Booked 2 rooms, we have been last 2 years in December to this hotel, so decided to take friends to show them what a brilliant hotel and restaurant it is. Bad move,booked in for 7.30pm meal. Asked what meats for carvery, Pork,lamb and beef was the reply. Ordered 3 carvery, 1 liver & bacon. Liver dish came out and we were told to go to carvery, only 2 little pieces of lamb left to divide between 3 of us or a pie, which we didn't want but 1 person had to have it. Chef told us waitress should have checked with him. We were offered alternative, but too late as 1 meal had already been taken to the table, Given complimentary sweets, eton mess had no merigue,toffee apple crumble had no crumble and cold custard, rice pudding was long grain rice not pudding rice. Dreadful. Room 5 shower was cold and big dirty crack in wash basin. At checkout another chef apologised, said he had told staff to put joints away and save for Sunday, and as we were late eating, not alot of meat left for us. I do not consider 7.30pm on a Saturday night as a late booking and it had been booked in for 3 months... At no point during check in or during our time in the restaurant or bar did anybody mention breakfast, as it says to speak with hotel on arrival, when you book the rooms, so no breakfast. Check out was 10am on a Sunday morning. Don' t think we will return and our friends would not recommend to their family or friends.

Comfortable but smallish clean room with 4' 6" comfortable double bed. Tea/ coffee making facilities and ironing board, iron, hair dryer, luggage rack, bed side lamp/table only on one side of bed. Clean bathroom, needs extra hooks/towel rail in bathroom. TV Freeview only. Downside very poor hotel wifi reception. Easy walk to Cathedral etc. (all bedrooms upstairs, so not suitable for disabled travellers.)

My first experience was the late carvery lunch which was not very good but I thought that the food had been to long on display, and it was overcooked and dry. However I had the full English breakfast the next morning and it also was overcooked, perhaps the chef was suffering from a hangover and left the poached eggs to long so that they were hard and the mushroom was very black instead of being brown also the has browns and as for the bacon this was nuked beyond dry, while the sourdough bread tasted like wet Mothers Pride white single slice cut in half and called two slices for the sake of the menu. I stopped eating at the hotel. The service in the restaurant was desultory at best and poor perhaps they had been on duty to long. The room was comfortable but serviced only occasionally. The location was reasonably close to the main tourist sights and restaurants/bars which I used for my stay in Ely.

We didn’t like the room we were in. Very small windows. Huge television but Too big to watch in the room. We liked the bed. It was very comfortable and there was a very big bathroom. The hotel was very convenient to walk to all the tourist places.

Limited parking , first come first served basis . Food & drinks were good apart from the carvery on the Sunday as we ate late when the carvery was finishing up so not the same choices as normal. Image it's good at lunchtime . Breakfast wasn't till 10 o'clock which wasn't a problem for us and would have arranged for chef to come in earlier if we needed it . Room was comfortable with a nice large shower.

Room was tired with loose toilet seat, shower door not closing causing water on the floor, tv not connected to arial so only able to use subscriptions services. Door lock worn making it difficult to lock and unlock. On a positive, food was great and bed comfortable and staff were pleasant.

A beautiful place to stay with fantastic staff. We picked the hottest two days of the year to stay, 30 and unfortunately there was no Air Conditioning. The room was unbearably hot as the window was tiny but we were brought up a second fan. Didn’t make much difference as it was just so hot! Not the hotels fault about the weather but I was expecting that little bit extra as the place had just had a refit.

First impressions were superb, largely driven by the warmest of welcomes by the staff. Pretty place, with a calm but characterful environment. The food was superb, nicely presented, and tasted fabulous. All at a fair price. The bedroom was lovely, comfortable bed, huge TV, and comfortable bathroom. Perfect location for exploring Ely and the delights that the city (and it’s beautiful cathedral) has to offer. Would definitely stay here again, absolutely loved our weekend staying here.

On arrival we were asked to pay for the room. This had already been paid via Expedia, slow process to prove this and staff aware that other guests have been charged twice. Room wasn't great, first room given had a toilet that didn't flush and door handle fell off. Moved rooms, no fan in this room, very hot overnight, quite noisy from corridor, tv from next room, could hear every conversation from adjoining rooms and every time the hand drier in the restaurant below was used. Not a great sleep, very saggy mattress and lumpy pillows.

We had their superior room (No. 1). Comfortable and well appointed and an over large TV. The bathroom was large, as was the shower cubicle. The shower had good controls, good flow rate and temperare adjustment. Unfortunately it was unheated and the window was draughty. The room was very clean and comfortable overall. We didn't have breakfast or dinner in the High Flyer as we had decided on local cafes and specialised restaurants. Hotel is well positioned for local attractions shops and eateries.

Strange. A busy modern pub, with a focus on food. Initial greeting was nice and friendly . Arranged for a time to have breakfast . In the morning the pub was in darkness , except for the kitchen. The chef was friendly and cooked a reasonable breakfast. There was no one else around so i went round to the bar area and made a cup of tea. The only other person we saw was a cleaner. Just get the feeling the overnight stays are a new edition and there isn't a system in place to deal with it.
