    All facilities very good. Property clean and well maintained when we arrived. Open plan kitchen / dining area a lovely surprise with views on to garden. Plenty of space for 6 of us. Good lounge and utility area. Snug used as quiet area by people working. All bedrooms and en-suite facilities high standard and very comfortable. Wi-Fi connection excellent. Ely and Cambridge very accessible. Would be very happy to return.

    Convenient for Ely town, kids loved it too. Amazing! Would definitely go again.

    There were 7 of us and there was plenty of room, it never felt crowded! My favorite was sitting outside & listening to the birds. Very peaceful. There was ample seating for dinner and two living spaces: we designated one for kids and one for grownups- it was fantastic. The decor was adorable! And the bathrooms were phenomenal! An absolutely great space overall. Couple of recommendations for improvement would be: the nespresso machine was missing the drip tray, one of the lights in the dining area constantly flickered, the freezer door was not attached to the cabinet, clear instructions on the washing machine would have been nice and finally some floor fans for the bed rooms were needed. We went out and bought our own because the upstairs was too hot to sleep. Would 100% stay here again!
