"We booked 3 nights using Tesco vouchers (for the last time the offer is not so good now). At first we were quite disappointed. There had been a few issues regarding staff illness and a boiler breakdown and the room did seem a little underwhelming. But the place grew on us. We had booked partly to visit a relative and partly to carry on our tour of English Cathedrals. We had gone to the Peterborough Cathedral Easter Day service on the drive up from Kent and later in the trip called in at Lincoln and Southwell. We had intended to take in Leicester Cathedral but found out that it was shut until the autumn. So we called in at the beautiful Ely on the way home instead. The staff were friendly. The one evening meal we had was very tasty. Breakfasts (eaten in the bar area) were a delight. There is a charming (front room/library area right next to the bar). I have to say the Wi Fi was poor and couldn't really be accessed from our room (Bellagio). The weather was cool but the heater soon made the room snug. Filter coffee was a nice touch. I don't I ever did learn how to pronounce the village like the locals!"
