Although we only stayed for a night, we felt very welcome. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Perfect for a family of 4 as they have a family room with separate but interconnected rooms. The place was quite far from Cambridge (about 25 min drive) but its a beautiful drive and a beautiful location. The place has so many birds,... More

We stayed through December (work being carried out at home). It's a great location out in the country with only the sounds of nature, but Ely is just a short drive away. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and there is the very large conservatory to sit and relax in. Sean is amazing, he is a fantastic cook, there... More

I live in Oxford but worked in Cambridge (Waterbeach - Cambridge Research Park) for nearly two years. I stayed at The Woodlands B&B during the week over a period of about 14 months overall and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The owners are good fun and always helpful. Free WiFi is nice, especially as I needed to work on my... More

This property has the benefit of being in a remote location with plenty of wildlife around, whilst being only a 10 minute drive from Ely. Rooms were very clean. Good choice of breakfasts, excellently cooked. Hosts friendly and accommodating. There is a separate conservatory with attached kitchen which guests are free to use at any time. Sean suggested that if... More

We (as a couple) stayed here back in 2009 and I remember it so well. Such a private place with nothing but feilds and a Donkey nearby. Guest Accomodation is serparate to the family home, which I always like because you dont feel like your intruding. Everything you need is in the rooms and they are very clean. Sean the... More

I have just returned from Ely having pretty much taken over the B&B with my family for my sister's wedding in Ely. Sean could not have been more accommodating and laid back, proving that it is possible (although near impossible to find!!) to find friendly and excellent service in this country! The location is beautiful and apart from the excellent... More

I felt really comfortable here. The shower was powerful the bedding was clean and crisp. The breakfast was good. The wildlife around the property was abundant. Woodpeckers, barn owls, magpies, short eared owls, rabbits in the garden. It is in a quiet and serene location . Sean is a top bloke.

We chose this B & B as it was central to dozens of walking areas and Ely (with free parking) is only 3 miles away. Sean is a great guy and works so hard to make all his guests happy. One guest had been at The Woodlands for several months but we had only a 6 day B&B+dinner. The meals... More

Stayed here with some friends over the weekend. It's in a lovely, quiet location just out of the village of Witchford. The owner, Sean, was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and the bedroom nice and we had use of a kitchen with lovely conservatory attached where we could make tea and coffee (there were no facilities for... More

I stayed here for a night whilst cycling across the country and was really, really impressed. The accomodation was really comfortable and spotlessly clean with a superb shower. The host must rate as one of the nicest blokes I've ever met and he and his family were really friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was superb as well and I left wishing... More
