This has to be one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at in many a year. We arrived 2 hours early and were given key to the room and a very nice young lady showed us the way and explained the facilities. The evening meals were excellent, portions very good and excellent quality food and drink, the lad who served us was pleasant and always smiling. Lovely nights sleep was followed by a super english breakfast and real coffee. What a way to finish the stay. We had a walk around the grounds and it is plain to see the grounds have been lovingly tendered with great furniture etc. We will be back.

Pretty location by river
No complaints about actual accommodation but we did not enjoy dinner or breakfast so ate elsewhere on 2nd day. Breakfast was reasonably priced at £1₩ but would prefer to pay more for better quality.

The staff were great and it is a really nice hotel in a really quiet location. I enjoyed my stay and only had a few minor issues. The first was I booked an upgraded room with a river view, however my room overlooked the car park and I could barely see the river which was a shame and seems like I wasted some money there. The room was also close to being unbearable due to the heat, it wasn't hot either day but the towel rail was on full and there was no way to adjust the temperature. This meant I had to have the fan on which was very dusty. I was only there for a few days and spent more time away from the hotel than expected so it didn't really impact my stay.

Pleasant location very lively at weekends.
Nice room with comfortable king size bed. Balcony was pleasant and overlooked terrace with lots of outdoor seating. En-suite was good although there was quite a lot of dust, the biggest concern we had was the water did not run away very well in the shower leaving a slippery surface. It would be sensible to have a nonslip surface and a holding bar to grab. There were several spiders living in the room and I removed these as my wife doesn’t like them. In general our stay was pleasant although on the Saturday we went out early but on our return the room had not been refreshed. We were told that someone knocked but there was no answer, we did say on arrival that we would be out early. During the evening there was a live show. We were informed by the hotel two days before our stay that this would be happening and it would finish by 11:30 pm. The music did end on time however there were still a group of people outside our window for at least another 30-45 mins who were talking very loudly. The clear up began straight away, a radio started playing and the staff were scraping tables across the floor, throwing bottles away and collecting glasses. They were very loud and there was a lack of consideration for guests trying to sleep. At one point doors were being banged and the wall behind us shook with the effort. All in all I would say that if you are an evening person this is a great location however, if you are needing to be up early it is probably best to find somewhere quieter.

Excellent stay
Took a chance here needing an overnight stay for an event in Ely. What a brilliant place it is. The riverside location is stunning. The rooms are well appointed, comfortable, clean and modern. The staff were all very friendly and polite throughout our stay. The restaurant was excellent and highly recommend for both dinner and breakfast. We fully intend on returning again next year.

A great little riverside treat.
What a lovely place to stay, I wish I could have stayed longer. From the check in to checking out everything was smooth and easy. The room was very neat and modern but felt comfortable, I had a room with a balcony and spent an hour or so relaxing by the river while enjoying a beer from the mini fridge that was charge at nominal £6. There were a couple of different beers or ciders that are charged for when you check out. There is also complementary water and free WIFI for guests. The TV was in a strange place in my room No2 being at a 90° angle to the bed and on the same wall as the two seater sofa. The bed was very comfortable, a bit too soft as were the pillows for my liking. The bathroom was clean and had everything you needed with small shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in small plastic bottles, hopefully these get refilled and not thrown in the waste when only a small amount has been used? The evening meal was delightful in the conservatory style balcony, but there didn't appear to be a great deal for vegetarians or Vegans.
