I stayed with a group of friends in the self-catering Coach House. It is full of character, with an amazing collection of good books, pictures, antiques and historic artefacts. The garden is delightful. The location is superb; Ely is such an interesting city and the cathedral is spectacular. There are excellent restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops within easy walking distance. Jenny and Robin, the owners, are charming and helpful. All in all, a magical place to stay - and very English.
