Lovely pub rooms

Quiet, comfortable rooms. Due to the weather, the room was quite hot and hard to cool down. The thick duvet was too much for sleeping, but the pillows and bed were very comfortable. Some instructions in the room on what to do at checkout if reception is not yet open would have been helpful.

Not the best night sleep

Very welcoming and shown to the room. However we were not advised the kitchen closed at 8 on a Sunday and we missed the being able to order by 1 minute (7:59) Lots of info about tea and coffee but when it came to it there was no milk. The bed was comfy, but the night we stayed there were howling winds outside which caused cupboard doors to rattle and a cold draft through the bedroom door. At 4:30am we finally figured what was rattling and propped pillows against it and managed a couple of hours sleep. We tried to inform reception when checking out but only found the a cleaner to hand back the key. We did return later in the day to advise the issues we had.

We were supposed to be in a "superior room". If room 6 is a superior room I wonder what the others looked like. The room was quite small, the pillows were all lumpy and not comfortable at all. There is no soundproofing in the room. After a long drive we had an early night but the kitchen extractor fan was below the window and was loud until it was switched off. After that we had to listen to the neighbours in room 5 talking over the volume of their TV, I have never watched Gogglebox but I have now listened to a whole episode. Finally, in room 6 there is no WiFi, no matter how hard I tried to get connected it didn't happen. To end on a positive note the staff were very friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was clean and comfortable, food was lovely, the staff were brilliant and helpful. The only problem was the remote control for the tv didn't work and staff didn't seem to know how to fix it. While it's certainly not the most important thing we all know 99% of hotels have got TV's in them, it's standard these days so the staff should be trained in how to work or set up the remotes and there should always be spares. There should be a set of instructions near the reception or even in the rooms explaining step by step how to set it up. On the surface it doesn't seem a big issue but as I said if tv's are a standard thing these days then it's maybe a slightly bigger issue than it initially seems. Staff really should be trained in how to set them up. To explain how to set it up is nothing more than a 10 minute job. If you use 'One For All' remotes and buy 6 tv's, all the same make and model then it will be easy

The room was clean and quiet which was good. However the toilet seat was loose and bedside lights did not work. I left notification for the High Flyer so hopefully these will be sorted out as I do understand that these things can be missed if not advised. My concern was that we were told that if we wanted breakfast they would have to get someone in specially as they would not be getting in till 10am the next morning. Whilst they said they could do this it made us feel like it would be an imposition so we went elsewhere to eat in the morning.

Can’t wait to stay here again!

First impressions were superb, largely driven by the warmest of welcomes by the staff. Pretty place, with a calm but characterful environment. The food was superb, nicely presented, and tasted fabulous. All at a fair price. The bedroom was lovely, comfortable bed, huge TV, and comfortable bathroom. Perfect location for exploring Ely and the delights that the city (and it’s beautiful cathedral) has to offer. Would definitely stay here again, absolutely loved our weekend staying here.

Good for a one night stay.

Comfortable but smallish clean room with 4' 6" comfortable double bed. Tea/ coffee making facilities and ironing board, iron, hair dryer, luggage rack, bed side lamp/table only on one side of bed. Clean bathroom, needs extra hooks/towel rail in bathroom. TV Freeview only. Downside very poor hotel wifi reception. Easy walk to Cathedral etc. (all bedrooms upstairs, so not suitable for disabled travellers.)
