The Nyton Guesthouse, hotel in Ely

Less than 10 minutes’ walk from Ely Cathedral, The Nyton offers well-appointed accommodation alongside a high-quality restaurant.

Our host, José, was a stand-in for the usual host at the Nyton. He was exceptional as a host, both friendly, happy to have a chat, and accommodating. When checking the reviews for this location beyond booking.com, I was a bit concerned by recent reviews, but I found none of the issues highlighted. Our room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was modernised and easy to use. All windows were well insulated and curtained. It was lovely. The free breakfast ranged from a choice of five simple but fulfilling options. Furthermore, there was an adequate selection of drinks and breakfast snacks from the adjacent bar.

    Brilliant location, so quiet and lovely surroundings. Short walk from the cathedral and city centre. Was made to feel really welcome, yes it’s an old building but it was so clean and well kept! Will definitely stay there again.

    Charming cottage, super clean, comfortable and quiet. Surrounded by gorgeous garden, outdoor table and chairs to eat outside if desired. Friendly hosts who never intruded but interacted easily in the garden or driveway. Provided what looked like brand new fans since the weather turned hot. Nice views from second story of cottage.

    Rob was a great host who was very welcoming, even left us treats which were a nice surprise and much appreciated The accommodation was spotless and very homely. The city centre is within walking distance so perfect for a spot of lunch or dinner along the river. Myself and my partner enjoyed our stay very much and will be looking to return in the near future.
