This was an amazing place to stay, it is like a secret world hidden in a walled garden. The house if full of character and great antigues and ornaments all over the place. It has so much charm and is really cosy. Each room has an on-suit, so there are 4 toilets in the house! We booked the self-catering cottage,... More

Went to Ely for the weekend with other half. There's 'enough' to do for the weekend but you might want to drive to be able to go furthur afield, we went to Cambridge for the day. Great position with parking. There's plenty of places to eat although the places do get busy at the weekend so might consider pre booking,... More

We stayed here in mid June. Cathedral House is an elegant house, reached through a door in the wall off the street. Entering, one feels a little overpowered by the trees encroaching from the garden. Our room was clean and tidy, and well maintained. However, it could do with a bit of a spruce up paint-wise, and especially in our... More

Make sure you're the right class when booking here. I phoned to place a booking yesterday and everything was going well before I mentioned I was working in the area, at which point the proprietor said, 'oh, oh, hang on a minute', and returned to say, 'oh, I'm sorry, my husband took a booking and didn't put it in the...

Lovely central position and delightful period house. Having a suite was a delight and the room had everthing one might need. Jenny was a gracious hostess and the breakfast was lovely. A small gripe is that, as vegetarians, we always feel a bit cheated that breakfast is the same as meat eaters would have, minus meat. At the top end... More

I booked at short notice, and was given a small but perfect room in the self - contained Cottage, (the main house being full) it was beautifully decorated and furnished.( plenty of windows!1) Clean and comfortable. Had everything I could wish for, including copious reading material! So much care and love put into the interior décor. Hosts Jenny and Robin... More

My husband and I, along with our close friend, stayed in the self catering Coach House for 10 nights, followed by one more night in the Cathedral House bed and breakfast. To say that our stay was wonderful is not enough praise for the cozy, quaint and comfortable accommodations we experienced in both homes. The Coach House was amply sized... More

We stayed for one night only in a very clean and comfortable twin room. The bathroom however was lacking a shower, and for "older" people there were no grab rails on the bath. The house is in a lovely situation, full of character, with very pleasant hosts. My only "gripe" would be about the tea bags - all slightly scented... More
