Narrowboat Puzzle, hotel in Ely

Boasting river views, Narrowboat Puzzle features accommodation on a 60-foot narrowboat in Ely, around 2 km from Ely Cathedral.

We spent 2 nights on Puzzle in November - not the best time to stay on a narrowboat in England but the brilliant central heating made it totally possible. It was very cosy and had absolutely everything we needed. If you're looking for something unique and bespoke, this is definitely the place for you. Martin was an excellent host, meeting us and allowing us to be flexible in checking in and out. There were a few little extras waiting for us on board which were much appreciated plus tea/coffee and condiments etc. For our second night, we bought food from the Tesco superstore (5 minutes walk away) and cooked in. It's a shame the weather was too chilly to sit outside on the deck for drinks or breakfast or to open the side hatches but we'll just have to come again when it's warmer! Ely is a great place and I highly recommend the cathedral tour and Octagon Tower tour.

    Ely is a great placed , a juxtaposition of the modern and ancient. The cathedral with an Octagonal buttress looks out over the city with a city Centre core architecture that has been around since 1400 AD

    A small town but very pretty and full of old buildings, especially the humungous cathedral and associated buildings. ( 14 pounds for a visit!) Riverside walk and pub. A pleasant atmosphere. Loads of pubs and eating places of all sorts. Well worth a short visit. I stayed in a central B&B and ate in the Lamb pub by the cathedral. Traffic on the way was a pain but the town has plenty of free parking.

    Transport very good busand trains.Many interesting small businesses and parkland lovely. Wonderful cathedral , but entry charge of £14 a bit much. They should have donation boxes with a suggested gift giving people a choice.

A huge plus for Ely is free car parks no need to worry about time .well done local council.another lovely part is down by the riverside. All of Ely is walkable.lots of eating places.we were at a concert in the Cathedral and were amazed and thankful that the public loos were still open during the interval

    Ely is a wonderful small town for a few days stay - along the river is excellent on a fine day and a nice pub to have a drink and watch the world go by. Ely Cathedral was magnificent - we have visited many across UK and this is certainly one of the best - Stained Glass exhibition is also worth a visit. Cromwells House and Ely Museum worth a visit if you have time. Ely Cathedral has the Armoury Cafe which we would recommended for lunch. For dinner: The Lamb was excellent with wonderful food at a fair price.

    Great location very close to centre of Ely - 5 mins walk to the cathedral. Check in was efficient & access to the hotel out of hours is easy. Parking on site is available but limited - only 4-5 spaces and the neighbouring car park is max 3 hours stay so we were fortunate to get a space. Cooked breakfast was tasty but it was the only option - no cereal / fruit / yoghurts, etc

    This hotel is in an excellent location for the city centre. The room was fabulous with a very comfy bed and fantastic bathroom. The breakfast menu had plenty to choose from and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were all lovely and friendly and we were especially impressed with Alex and his evening meal wine list.
