I have stayed at the Riverside several times and cannot reccomend it highly enough. From the delightful and quality furnishings, to the location and quality of the (all important) breakfast. For the price it is, in my opinion an all round 5* location

It was like staying in a top-notch hotel, but with the personal touches of a great B&B. The room was beautifully furnished and finished to a high standard. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was particularly nice on a cold winter's day. There was fresh fruit and bottled water in the bedroom and fresh fruit and chocolates in the hallway.... More

This is the fifth year we have been to Ely and stayed at the Riverside Inn again. The setting of this guest house is beautiful. Our bedroom window looked out over the river and there were ducks and geese about early. Everywhere is within walking distance and now that the river bank path has been given a hard surface, it...

We stayed on the ground floor room, which is one of three. The room was massive, beautifully decorated with complementary mineral water, fruit bowl and chocolate and a variety of tea, coffee and biscuits. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was equally spacious, well kitted out and had under floor heating. The only drawback of the ground floor room... More

The Riverside Inn should be the No.1 B & B in the area. We stayed for 3 nights in early September, after long flight from Sydney, Australia. Warm welcome from Lily with good coffee, stayed in an lovely, big room on the ground floor with enormous bathroom. The best breakfasts cooked by Arthur in dining room overlooking the river. Fantastic... More

It's in a wonderful location on the river which all rooms face. It's a short walk to the beautiful cathedral (about 5 minutes). There's a good pub next door, walks along the river, a marina for boat hire right across the river, convenient parking, easy to find location, and a charming hostess. Skip the full English and try the house... More

The Riverside Inn has a delightful setting, overlooking the River Ouse with its peaceful and colourful narrow boats, barges and leisure craft. It has just three rooms and each is of five-star hotel quality in terms of decor, fixtures, fittings and amenities. There is free wi-fi (important, and a point which hotels fail to recognise as they rip-off their customers... More

We recently stayed for 5 nights and, after choosing as a result of Trip Advisor reviews, were not disappointed. Must be the best location and Ely and many other places - just on the bend in the river, with a view to just stand and take in. Very comfortable bedrooms and great bathrooms with underfloor heating. The showers (we were... More

The website for The Riverside Inn matches the excellence of this inn. Rooms superbly serviced, breakfast the best, certainly the best accommodation we have ever experienced in this country. Friendly, courteous service and a view to dream about. Will make a point of visiting Ely again, just to repeat this experience.
