We stayed at The Riverside Inn for 4 nights at the end of May . Our room was upstairs and had a wonderful view of the river where there was constant boat and bird activity. The room was well-decorated and always spotless . There are 3 rooms and 3 tables for breakfast which was excellent . Other reviewers have covered... More

This is a wonderful charming and delightful inn in the small town of Ely (15,000 pop.). My husband and I could not have been happier with our decision to come to Ely. The main attraction is the handsome cathedral with the unusual octagonal tower. However, we found Ely to have more to offer in the quiet setting on the River... More

We stayed here for one night in late May. It is a great location near the station and on the river. We found it a pleasant walk into the city - and loved the Cathedral. We did the octagon tower tour - which was fantastic. We were in room 3 which had fabulous views of the river. We liked the... More

The location couldn't be better, as we came by train and it is a short way from the station. Very lovely area around the B&B. Walks alongside the river and benches for just sitting and enjoying the view. If the weather is good, that is. We were unlucky and weren't able to do that because we would have been frozen.... More

The location for this B and B is excellent. It is right on the River Ouse, with a very picturesque view and a 10-15 minute walk ( 15 uphill, 10 back downhill!) to and from the city centre. There are just 3 rooms and the bedrooms on the upper floor have a better view. Our bedroom was spotlessly clean and... More

All the rooms at the Riverside Inn look along the Great Ouse RIver in Ely. It is a short walk through two adjoining parks to the Cathedral. The rooms are elegantly furnished and the bathroom floor has underfloor heating which feels luxurious. HIgh quality and attention to detail make this a wonderful place to stay. The breakfasts are superb: the... More

We stayed for a couple of nights at The Riverside Inn in late February. The accommodation was of a much higher standard than many hotels we have visited and in fact it is difficult to think of anything to fault about this B & B. Possibly a slightly less enthusiastic approach to plug-in air fresheners would be an improvement but... More

This review is based on the attitude of the manager/owner rather than on staying at the Inn. My daughter is to be married in July 2013 we tried to book the best room at the Riverside Inn for the wedding night as it is close to the wedding breakfast venue and would be very convenient. It was November 2012 when... More

We stayed for a couple of nights in January and thought what a perfect place this would also be in the middle of summer when the situation on the banks of the River Ouse could really be appreciated. It is perfect for arriving by train being only a short walk from the station. It is perfect for sightseeing in Ely... More
