A beautiful house encompassing old and new features. House is spacious and has modern utilities to enjoy. The kitchen/diner is a delight. Choice of bedrooms and bathrooms with hot water all day. Plenty of car parking space and short walks to cathedral and town centre.

Well placed property just 5mins walk from the centre of Ely and its incredible cathedral. It’s perfect for a family getaway and so convenient for Cambridge or exploring the Fens.The house itself has been recently refurbished and is both spacious and charming with loads of retained features. There’s ample off-road parking and it’s easy to find, the outside seating area / games shed could do with some TLC but, after such a long hot summer, everywhere feels a bit tired and dusty!

My family and I had a comfortable week in the property and soon felt at home. It is quite an unusual property in appearance, but works perfectly well as a place to stay. There were a few minor weak spots like some of the toilet seats needing attention, but on the whole we were very satisfied (it was great to have enough sets of keys for a change).The location was ideal both for the centre of Ely and the New Dragon Inn, the excellent local Chinese takeaway. While the postcode was perfectly accurate, the property had no obvious house number, so some of our party had to be guided in.
