Wonderful Ely

Great stay in a vibrant little town. Accommodation was perfectly located and very comfortable. The hosts were friendly and accommodating with any questions we had. Will definitely return next year. Only issue we had was with VRBO own directions that stated 2a not No 12 which lead to a very bemused owner of 2a coming to the door whilst we fiddled with his key safe

Delightful house in the centre of town

The property was clean and well maintained. Had a dedicated parking space which was a bonus in the middle of town. A little paved garden at the back was pleasant to sit in. Had everything we needed and we would definitely recommend the property and use it again if we were in the area.

Wonderful Host; Fantastic location

Absolutely perfect stay from the friendly, clear communication, easy check in and warm welcome, to the wonderful location (literally just outside the Cathedral walls) in a friendly neighbourhood with all amenities close by. This comfortable two bedroom suited three adults and was everything we could ask for including lots of local literature and a very comprehensive welcome guide. We would happily stay again when next in Ely! Thank you Andy.

Such a perfect cottage

The cottage was absolutely perfect! The hosts made it even more perfect by leaving a very thoughtful card and gift for our daughter. The property was in the most wonderful location, with everything we needed just a short stroll away! We will be back!

A very comfortable, eco house a stone's throw from Ely centre. Everything you could possible need provided and even things you don't NEED like chocolates! Have a guided tour of the cathedral and go to Oliver Cromwell's house - an excellent exhibition. Thank you for a great holiday.

Comfortable attractive modern house in the ancient centre of Ely

We loved our stay here, it’s so well situated in a quiet street just a three minute walk to Ely Cathedral and 10 minutes to the river. And there’s car parking and a sunny courtyard. The house is very well equipped and presented. The church bells of the nearby cathedral and parish church means you’ll probably not get a long lie-in, but we were charmed.

A Great Week in Ely

The cottage was perfectly charming. It was very clean, very comfortable, attractively furnished, and supplied with everything one might need. Its location was very convenient, easy walking to the cathedral, stores, pubs, and the river. The small patio was delightful. Andrew was a most pleasant and helpful host. Louise and Ian Dunn
