Lovely spacious house and garden for all the family to enjoy. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Near to March. Caught train from Manea to Ely and also Cambridge. Free parking at the station. Skylark garden centre very close and good selection on menu.Could do with a larger saucepan.

From the moment we booked Riverside, Louise could not have been more helpful with information, hints and tips for our family reunion. Sadly, we weren't able to ake use of the extensive gardens - a bit chilly and rainy in mid October, especially for the Aussie contingent - but we enjoyed a day out in Ely and then a big family supper. Would definitely recommend, and for all ages as there is a toilet (not bathroom) and two bedrooms on the ground floor. We took an extra table for our main meal and this worked well so all twelve of us could then eat together, but for groups of eight, the dining area is perfect - or of course you might be able to sit outside. We really appreciated the welcome pack - including the gluten free pizza, a lovely gesture!
