This really is a must stay place. Fantastic house set in massive grounds. As per previous reviews it is top star rating and better than hotels as there aren't so many people. Idyllic place to unwind and relax. Rooms very spacious and comfortable. Arrived just in time for afternoon tea with lovely iced fruit cake by the open fire. If... More

From the tea served in the lounge on arrival, with beautiful views of Ely cathedral, to the excellent breakfast the next morning, our stay here was absolutely perfect. The Old Hall matches any of the top class hotels we have stayed in world wide. We had the Steward room, which is even larger than it looks on the website, and... More

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in the Cromwell Suite (4 poster bed, see the website). The size of the suite was around 750 square feet. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully and luxuriously appointed and was warm and cozy. The views across the fields to Ely cathedral must be some of the best for miles around. The hosts... More

My husband and I stayed at The Old Hall for one night in February. We were greeted and shown our room before settling down to some home baked lemon drizzle cake and tea by the roaring fire. We were lucky enough to have a few hours to spare before our dinner reservation in town so we were able to take... More

Having booked tickets to a concert at Ely cathedral, I came upon the Old Hall whilst looking on the internet for somewhere to stay overnight. The website made the prospect of a night of Jacobean splendour irresistible, and the reality did not disappoint. Indeed it outdid my expectations. We both adored the huge open fireplace and delicious tea and cake,... More

From the moment we arrived we knew this was a special place. We had been looking for accommodation in the area while we looked at wedding venues with our daughter and The Old Hall proved to be the perfect base. Alison and Anthony are perfect hosts, always attentive and happy to share their lovely home. The three bedrooms are spacious... More

Don't be put off by the ongoing renovation work at the side of the house. The view of Ely Cathedral from The Old Hall more than makes up for the work in progress to restore the house to it's former glory. This is a little gem that can't fail to please those looking for a quiet, impeccable base from which... More

A beautiful building appointed to the highest standard with modern conveniences while retaining old world charm. The views across the countryside to Ely Cathedral are amazing. The owners are very hospitable without being overbearing. The house is well located and can serve as a base for day trips to northern Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, as well as Cambridgeshire. We will definitely... More

Where do I start, just an amazing place in an amazing location. Our room was large, spotless clean and comfortable. The fixtures and fittings were of an extremely high standard. The breakfast was a feast. The owners were welcoming and made us feel at home. If I went back to Cambridge I would stay at the Old Hall and commute... More

Strikingly beautiful building with excellent views over Ely. Accommodation is strictly of 5 star quality with luxurious bathroom. Breakfast was top notch with locally sourced, good quality ingredients. There was no sign of quality being compromised in favour of economy. Alison and Anthony excellent hosts. Nice touches such as afternoon tea being provided when we returned cold and soaked by... More
