“An escape to Paradise.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2009

Our escape to paradise was this lovely old B&B just outside the cathedral city of Ely, Cambridgeshire. Our hosts, Pam and George Kemp have lovingly restored the old vicarage at Littleport and have created a warm welcoming retreat. Their welcome as we arrived was like meeting an old friend, and by the end of our stay we felt like family. On arrival we were treated to a tray of coffee, tea and homemade treats served to us in their superb sun-drenched conservatory. After a leisurely cup of tea and chat we were shown to our room. A delightful large airy room with matching en-suite, tv, and coffee/tea making facilities, complete with a selection of chocolate biscuits. The whole house is spotlesslessly clean and tastefully decorated. Pam and George have tried to think of everything to make their guests stay a memorable one. They have created a lounge especially for the guests, which to call comfortable is an understatement. Should our stay have been in the winter there is a large open fire in this room, which we understand is lit for the pleasures of the guests. The gardens are extensive and include a small lake and a practise golf hole, I think George created this more for himself than the guests! After an exceptionally quiet and peaceful night, we woke to be treated to a breakfast special which included homemade jams, fresh fruit from their garden, raspberry compote and all the trimmings of a full English breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for Pam and George. They try to cater for all tastes and dietary requirements, and genuinely take great pleasure in making your stay a memorable one which only feeds a desire to return. Can't wait for my next visit.

“The friendliest, most peaceful and yummiest B&B in the country?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2009

Not one for writing reviews, I feel compelled to put in a word for this fantastic B&B we discovered just outside of Ely in Cambridgeshire. From the moment we drove up the drive and saw the delightful gardens surrounding a romantic lake, we knew we were in for a treat. And we were definitely right. Greeted by the friendly hosts, Pam and George, we were warmly invited into their beautiful home - a very grand Victorian vicarage, packed with period features and light, airy rooms. The next treat was a welcoming coffee and superb home-made cakes, discretely left out for us in the drawing room which is exclusively for the use of the guests. The bedroom we chose was absolutely delightful - a good size double with a Laura-Ashley cottage style decor, en-suite shower room and a lovely view of the enormous gardens. We asked for a sneaky peek at the other bedrooms and they were all as good! The room was superbly equipped, with real milk for our tea and coffee for once! We had a delightful stroll round the gardens and then spent an extremely peaceful night - my husband claims it was the best night's sleep he'd ever had! Breakfast brought yet more delights, with fresh raspberries from the owner's garden, a fried breakfast with the most creamy scrambled eggs and numerous other treats. I can't praise Glebe House enough and the lovely owners who were always on hand for a chat or to help, yet never invasive. My only disappointment was our stay lasted one night only. We will make a large detour to stay there again soon.
