"Very friendly and helpful staff, all staff members were very attentive and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. The selection of available drinks, especially real ales was extensive. Real ales in particular were very well kept and staff knowledge of them was extensive. All food was cooked individually and was very well presented and delivered personally.

Arundel House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The website stated parking was provided, but when we arrived we were charged a substantial extra - not very welcoming. On Sunday morning we were woken by a very loud alarm. The staff's reaction was incompetent and seemed to reveal a complete ack of Fire awareness or training. No attempt was made to reassure visitors, ensure that everyone was accounted for or inform them that it was a false alarm. Restaurant staff were helpful and attentive."

Riverside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely weekend there. Found plenty to do in Ely. Loved the view over the river. Enjoyed the choices for breakfast. Free parking Our only problem was working the coffee machine in the bedroom but I think it was probably us doing it wrong"
