送孩子上學定的酒店，離學校非常近，（當然整個伊利鎮就很小）步行到哪裡都很近。房間比英國一般的房間要大，房內設施和齊全，服務人員很熱情友好。在這個安靜祥和的小鎮，下雨發發呆也是很美的一件事

A very central hotel ideally positioned to see the sights and opposite the cathedral with nicely appointed rooms, even a bath in the room. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice on offer. Restaurant was also fun with a good range of dishes in a reasonably quiet ambiance. We enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is in a great place for a visit to Ely Cathedral. Our suite and the public rooms were in good condition. However the food was average. The bar whilst big was not very comfortable. Our suite was enormous but there was no comfortable chair.
