We stayed as a family of 4 (2 kids under 6) and the family suite was perfect. Sean was such a helpful and friendly host and the breakfast was outstanding.

Really enjoyed my stay here, the owners are very friendly, and the breakfast was fantastic. If I was to really, really 'nitpick' the WiFi signal was a little weak and I ended up reverting back to my mobile data, but everything else was brilliant and I'll definitely be booking here again if and when the opportunity arises. Have already recommended to several colleagues.

Host was very welcoming and made the stay easy & comfortable. Very rural and basic facilities but charming, relaxing in its own way. Breakfast was well cooked and delicious. I would stay again.

Excellent breakfast. Very friendly owners. Suggest you call before for precise directions as the location from Expedia on Apple Maps is about a mile before the hotel

Lovely stay at the Woodlands. The owner and his wife couldn't be nicer people. It's a nice change from the homogenised and impersonal experience you normally find at the typical chain hotels.
The setting of the place was so nice aswell. Lovely trees, beautiful countryside and the nice older buildings... it made it feel unique.
Breakfast was excellent and the whole vibe of the place was relaxed. I would stay here again!

This was an an enjoyable experience, particular for a sole traveller. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the proprietors were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast (which was very good food) was an enjoyable social experience meeting other guests that you do not tend to get with staying at a larger chain hotel. Very relaxing and quiet rural location, easy for getting out and visiting Ely or Cambridge.

Fantastic location for peace and quiet after the hustle and bustle of sight seeing. A very friendly welcome from the owner who also does a great breakfast included in the price. The rooms are spot on for what you want it for. Always stay there the owner can't do enough for you highly recommend it.

A warm welcome after a long drive from Jane/Owner. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, the shower was instantly warm! The owners were lovely, very friendly, attentive and accommodating. My daughter and I were going out very early one morning and thought we would miss breakfast so Sean/owner made us bacon sandwiches and put cartons of juice in the fridge to take with us! The breakfasts were tasty too, full english and poached eggs on toast. We were greeted each morning by the owners two donkeys. We enjoyed sightings of squirrels, rabbits, and a green woodpecker. We had a lovely peaceful stay, would recommend, and hope to stay again as very close to my family and Ely, thank you!

A really warm welcome from the hosts who were great with our late arrival and friendly at breakfast. The family room worked really well for us with two teenagers.
