Comfortable stay...
The hotel was comfortable and simple, and met our needs well. We did find some marks on the duvet sheet and when we woke up a bug was seen on our sheets. Not sure what that could be, but let them know.
Stay was otherwise comfortable. Walking distant to Ely high street and the Cathedral.

Great location.
Great location for exploring Ely, lovely staff really helpful. Only slight downside was the room was very warm in the peak of summer!! a fan was provided. The management are really good but obviously the weather is out of their control!! In cooler months its wonderful.

Not the best night sleep
Very welcoming and shown to the room. However we were not advised the kitchen closed at 8 on a Sunday and we missed the being able to order by 1 minute (7:59)
Lots of info about tea and coffee but when it came to it there was no milk.
The bed was comfy, but the night we stayed there were howling winds outside which caused cupboard doors to rattle and a cold draft through the bedroom door. At 4:30am we finally figured what was rattling and propped pillows against it and managed a couple of hours sleep. We tried to inform reception when checking out but only found the a cleaner to hand back the key. We did return later in the day to advise the issues we had.

Nice room, tea and coffee offerings good. The security lock on the window in our room needed to be fixed. Room was good for an overnight stay.

Lovely pub rooms
Quiet, comfortable rooms. Due to the weather, the room was quite hot and hard to cool down. The thick duvet was too much for sleeping, but the pillows and bed were very comfortable. Some instructions in the room on what to do at checkout if reception is not yet open would have been helpful.

Room smelt of drains, broken safe, broken window security, thin walls, and fire alarm went off at 1am. The fire alarm can go off in any hotel but most send a message to their guests or even partially comp the room. No comms from this hotel following incident.

The room was clean and quiet which was good. However the toilet seat was loose and bedside lights did not work. I left notification for the High Flyer so hopefully these will be sorted out as I do understand that these things can be missed if not advised. My concern was that we were told that if we wanted breakfast they would have to get someone in specially as they would not be getting in till 10am the next morning. Whilst they said they could do this it made us feel like it would be an imposition so we went elsewhere to eat in the morning.

We stayed just one night, the room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom for room 1 is not heated and we stayed on a very cold night, so not ideal.
