We enjoyed our stay here! The location of the house is perfect for accessing everything in the centre of Ely especially the cathedral. Also having the parking space is a real bonus. The property is clean, the kitchen is well equipped and the sofas are very comfortable. The bed in the main bedroom is on the firm side for us but that is down to personal taste. I would definitely recommend this property and thank you for the biscuits!

Overall a lovely property, as described, over two floors. Very close to centre and cathedral. Owners gave very helpful information. All very clean and tidy except for the microwave, which did have quite a lot of food splashes inside. Perhaps was missed on last clean. We cleaned this as best we could before use and did not use the oven. Helpful milk etc to get us started. Thank you for a relaxing and pleasant stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Church Lane! The house was immaculate, cosy, and beautifully decorated with charming touches. It was bright and spacious, making it perfect for us—two adults and a child. Andrew, our host, was excellent—always quick to respond, friendly, and professional. The kitchen was fully equipped. We appreciated the easy parking and the fantastic location, which is very close to the stunning Ely Cathedral, the town centre, and beautiful Cherry Park. We had such a lovely time and hope to stay again.
