Stayed for four nights and had an amazing time. Doris is so welcoming and kind and made our stay very enjoyable and was very accommodating for our 1 year old baby. The room was cosy and very comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. We are hoping to go back soon. Thank you Doris for a lovely break.

We stayed one night at the old School and everything was splendid from the friendly welcome and quality of the accommodation to the lovely breakfast cooked to order in the morning. Country lovers would particularly like this with dogs and horses in evidence (but not obtrusive) and dogs were made welcome. Ely just a fifteen minute drive away and top... More

Nice B&B in a small quiet village but only a few miles from Ely. Very pleasant host that will look after all of your needs. Wifi available (cost 3 pounds), clean, comfortable, nice surroundings and breakfast.

Thanks Doris for a wonderful stay - your friendly welcome made it feel like a home from home, very relaxed and just the thing for a work trip away, your B&B was a pleasure to come back to at the end of busy days - hope to see you again some time, and thanks for the packed breakfasts and everything!

We had a lovely clean room with modern furnishings. The beds were comfortable and the tv in our room was great. There is also a lovely spacious bathroom, which was clean and furnished very nicely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, with both hot and cold options. We both enjoyed the food and felt full afterwards... More
