Guest Reviews

• Jean (10/5): -
• Mandy (10/5): -
• Rachael (9/5): Very relaxed, had everything we needed - Location, parking on site, spacious room and everything we needed Nothing
• Nick (8/5): Value for money and great location - Great location
• Sandra (8/5): Enjoyable and comfortable stay with super location for exploring Ely. - Excellent location close to the centre of Ely, so easy to walk everywhere. Spacious accommodation with everything you need and has the benefit of car parking at the rear of the property. Owner very helpful. Some instructions on how to use the TV firestick and heating system left at the property would be useful.
• Terry (10/5): Stay here with confidence. - Very clean, comfortable and good location with parking on-site and supermarket on the same street. Great for a short stay. Robert is an excellent host and he was very flexible. Nothing
• Maria (9/5): Great little accommodation in good location and with very friendly host - The flat was spacious enough and had all key amenities. It has a great location to walk into the town centre of Ely. Our host, Robert, was excellent and welcomed us with all info that we needed. A tiny drawback was that the flat is part of a larger house and so one can hear neighbours above and to the sides at times - however, during the night it was nice and quiet.
• Martin (10/5): Lovely property, great communication. - Clean, spacious, well kept, good location. N/A
• Leon (8/5): -

• karl (9/5): -
• Lucas (8/5): satisfactory - the shower tray had difficulty emptying. there needs to be a shelf in the shower for shampoo etc.
• Jill (10/5): -
• alberte (9/5): Comfortabel verblijf in gezellig huisje. - Het is een comfortabel huisje met lieve 2 slaapkamers. Alles is er. Het is schoon en op loopafstand van het centrum en de trein. Vriendelijke en behulpzame ontvangst. Mooiw wandelingen gemaakt in de omgeving. We komen vast nog terug. Ik kan niks bedenken.
• Rosemary (9/5): Only a flying visit so not able to make full use of the facilities Windmell Cottage provides. Very comfortable bed. Warm - A very cute, cosy cottage only a short walk from town. N/A
• Debs M (9/5): Great location and super host. - The proximity to town and being able to park the cark safely and walk. The host was so helpful and clearly loves Ely. We even caught up with each other a couple of times in the local pubs. Loved Ely. Will definitely be back. Just needed a few more crockery items for those of us to home cook whilst away.
• JAI (8/5): Excellent facilities and location, great host, very comfortable - Excellent facilities, clean and tidy, very warm Sometimes a bit too hot, tried turning radiator down but couldn’t cool down haha! Bin in kitchen wasn’t emptied before our arrival, but that’s not a big deal.
• Nick (10/5): well worth the money , great host - Great place , will definitely be using again n/a
• Joanna (10/5): - The host was so accommodating, allowing us to use the parking space pre and post check-in, letting us drop our bags off earlier, recommending restaurants etc and even leaving us Gluten free biscuits as one of the party was GF! The accommodation was clean, comfortable and so cosy after such awful weather! Comfy beds, great shower, lovely decor and so warm. Perfectly located for an easy walk into the centre. We did get an Uber back in the evening as we were soaked, literally cost only £4.60! Would definitely stay again. Nothing
• Enrico (10/5): -
• Derek (10/5): Great stay in Ely - Everything Nothing
• Ann (10/5): - Comfortable and cosy, clean and welcoming. Great communication. Many thanks.
• Lewis Patching (10/5): Pleasant, comfortable cottage - all we wanted for our overnight stay. -
• Lora (10/5): My husband and I were visiting family and celebrating our anniversary and decided to stay in Ely the last night. It was - It was clean and walking distance to the Cathedral and Market street. The owner Robert, was very helpful, friendly and accommodating with us arriving early. About the only negative was we needed wash cloths and maybe trial size toiletries.
• Roger (9/5): -
• Tim (9/5): - The flexibility of the owner to allow us slightly earlier entry to the cottage was spot on. We were in Ely for a family wedding and needed to drop our stuff & change before heading to the church. The owner helped make this possible for us
• Ray (9/5): Great stay, excellent location, big comfy bed. - Windmill Cottage is a short, direct, 10 min walk into Ely passing the wonderful Cathedral on route. The cottage itself is spacious and had everything we needed for our one night stay. Rob, the host, met us on arrival and gave us suggestions for where to eat that evening which was very useful. Would definitely recommend.
• Amanda (9/5): Short break in Ely - The apartment was very clean, comfortable and homely. The kitchen had lots of nice touches (washing up liquid and sponges, tea towels etc) and even basic cooking supplies. Bed was very comfy. The host, Robert, was exceptionally helpful. He went out and bought an extra fan because a heatwave was expected during our stay and helped us out with the telly. The apartment is on a fairly busy road but double glazing cuts out traffic noise and the bedroom is at the back. It's an easy walk into Ely. All good
• teresa (10/5): - Very clean in a great location Nothing
• Elizabeth (9/5): - Great location within easy walking distance of central Ely. Great communication from the host. Large bedroom in a property which was easy to find and had parking included. Nice touches including milk, tea, coffee and biscuits! Some small issues but I spoke to the host who was very open to the feedback.
• Ian Burrell (9/5): -
• Karen (8/5): Very well equipped and a handy location for the cathedral and all of Ely - Location and size were super as were all the facilities Noise from the accommodation above when moving around caused interruption to sleep, unfortunately
• Robert (10/5): A very nice stay in a very comfortable accommodation we will definitely be back, thank you - The location was ideal easy ten minute walk into town. It was a very relaxing stay even though it is located on a busy road there was zero noise from the passing traffic due to the high quality insulation. The host was on hand if you needed him it was clean and well equipped, plenty of books, games and videos. There is nothing we could fault.
• Michael (10/5): Beyond expectations. - I didn't stay there. Booked this accomodation for my daugher and her partner as we were having a family event locally. She and her partner loved it. They loved how clean it was and how good the bed was. Highly recommended by them. Nothing. I didn't stay there myself, I cannot comment, however I had no negative comments back from my daugher and her partner.
• Larkham (8/5): -
• Nigel (8/5): - The cottage was well decorated and comfortable. It was conveniently situated and the parking at the rear of the property was an added bonus. Despite the noise absorbing floorboards installed by the owner in the accommodation above, the noise of people moving around can still be heard in the bedroom and can disturb light sleepers.
• Debra (8/5): Good for a short stay. - Reasonably priced and short walk to town. Parking provided. The property was clean and the owner friendly and helpful. We appreciated the cookies and milk on arrival. The property is a converted pub and the proximity of the neighbouring accommodation made it a little too close for comfort. We could literally hear our neighbour snoring, coughing etc in the next room. Consequently we felt we had to talk very quietly. The sofa in the picture has been replaced with a very small, uncomfortable chair. It felt like sitting in a doctor's waiting room.
• Kenda (10/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): The Cottage is within easy walking distance to the main historic area of Ely! - Rob was an amazing host, and was quick to address any questions I had!
• Melanie (8/5): Very good -
• Syrill (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julie (8/5): A lovely little cottage close to Ely. - It was a lovely location near enough to the town to walk. The facilities were good the shower in particular being excellent. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Personally I struggled with the sofa it was close to TV which was high on the wall so I ended up with neck ache. The owner was trying to upgrade the wifi which was a great thing to do unfortunately for us it meant that our last evening we could not watch any TV since it was reliant on wifi which was not fully connected.
• Mary (7/5): Comfortable stay, welcoming host -
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional - All good…..
• Christine (10/5): Wonderful overnight stay - We had an overnight stay at Windmill cottage. Robert was the perfect host. He made a point of meeting us to say hello, which was lovely. He also gave us an early check in which helped as we had some repacking to organise for a narrow boat trip. The apartment is perfect, providing everything you need for a short stay. The kitchen is well set up, even providing small amounts of basics for cooking. More than we've experienced in other accommodations when staying for a week. The bed was comfortable, with a very spacious layout for both the lounge and bedroom. The kitchen and bathrooms are small but adequate. We loved the central but quiet location. Parking was also provided. Roberts attention to detail including little things such as an iron, cooling fan etc was perfect. Thanks for a great stay! The kitchen would be small for two people to cook a meal. However we only needed to make tea and have breakfast. A minor issue.
• Philip (9/5): Recommended property - Friendly host, thoughtful facilities, quiet location. Shower a bit small. Maybe a shower tray to store toiletries?
• Ilian (10/5): A lovely property managed by a friendly host - A beautiful flat, clean and comfortable, close to all local places of interest. Robert, the host, was very friendly and accommodating and made us feel very welcome. He responded quickly to small issues arising and went the extra mile for us. N/a
• Nicola (9/5): Superb - Great location - easy walk into Ely, which is a beautiful and interesting town. Spacious bedroom and well-equipped cottage. On-site parking was a bonus. Our very helpful host lives on site.
• Grenville (8/5): Very good -
• Marls (9/5): Superb - Short stay. Great location.
• Overton (10/5): We had a relaxing and restful stay after a very busy day which was very much appreciated - Location was perfect. Very quiet and just a short walk into town. The owner gave us very useful tips about pubs and restaurants. There was nothing to dislike about Windmill Cottage. We had a very pleasant stay and will definitely stay again when in the area.
• Kris (10/5): What a little gem of a place - The 2 bed apartment was lovely, clean, spacious and had everything you would need. The host Robert met us and was so friendly and helpful. The main bedroom bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in. Parking was Included which was great. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
• Philip (10/5): no problems with our stay,and would stay again and recommend to friends - location, free car parking Nothing really, but perharps provide coasters for tea cups
• Shirley (9/5): Comfortable, spacious unit, ideal for self-catering and for walking into Ely. - Clean, everything we required, well located. Friendly welcome from the host, nice cookies! Allowed us to leave car for the day after we checked out. Some noise from unit next door, both voices through linking door and creaking floorboards above bedroom (we are aware this is being tackled).
• Sue (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Location. Clean and cosy and wonderful welcome from Robert. Nothing
• Julien (10/5): Exceptional - Great host, good location with about a ten minute walk to the river and city centre. Accommodation spotless and accurate to photos .
• Louise (10/5): Exceptional - Was a beautiful cottage, great location and the host was brilliant. Would 100% recommend!
• Amy (10/5): Wonderful apartment and host. Wish we'd been able to stay longer! - We stayed two nights in this very comfortable apartment. Robert, our host, was very responsive on WhatsApp and even picked us up from the train station! The apartment was very clean, the bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was nice. There was plenty of hot water for showers. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as a yummy bag of cookies waiting for us. We appreciated the microwave to heat up leftovers. We were able to leave our luggage on our last day until we left in the early afternoon. The location is great, just a short walk into the heart of Ely. This was really one of the best apartments we've ever had through booking.com. Highly recommended! N/A
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional - The homely feel. Very cosy. Comfy bed. Nothing
• Angela (10/5): We had a lovely stay, and would return again! - Great location, and parking. Safe and secure. Comfortable, warm stay. Rob was a lovely host.
• Donna (9/5): Work trip - Had everything I needed for my short stay and would be ideal for a longer stay Parking right outside Secure property Super comfy bed nothing
• Nicki (9/5): Friendly host, great communication, lovely place and uneventful peaceful weekend away - The location was great, although on a main road we heard very little noise from the road.Rob met us on arrival he was very nice showed us the place, even messaged before we arrived telling us he would get milk so we could have coffee on arrival. He even bought biscuits that was a lovely touch. The flat was small but perfectly formed had everything we could need and more. The bed was one of the best we have had and we have now stayed in a few Airbnb's. Another bonus is Rob's place has off road parking. A definite plus for the area as parking is at a premium. So in all we would definitely recommend this place and would not hesitate to stay again.. There was nothing wrong with our stay
• Claire (7/5): Really nice would return if in area - Cosy cottage and host very accommodating and knowledgeable and allowed an early check in! We tried new pillows which were great! The bathroom was a little cold and loo could do with a good bleach Toaster and biscuit tin needed a clean

I chose this place because the host had such lovely positive reactions to feedback.
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Easy access and parking, Clean and comfortable very accommodating owners definitely recommend
• Clare (8/5): Very good -
• Julie (10/5): Central location in Ely. - Location. Within 10 a minute walk to the local Co-op. Slightly longer to Ely Cathedral and market place. Modern facilities. Comfy bed. Good shower. Very clean. We had a friendly welcome from the host, Robert, who obviously genuinely cared that our needs were met. He had good recommendations to give us and a fine local knowledge. The private parking was a real bonus. The tasty cookies were very welcome. Good modern facilities. The addition of a dishwasher and washing machine would probably be welcomed by families.

• Ailsa (10/5): We stayed one night and the property was very well equipped and was in a great location. - The location was perfect, only a 5 minute walk into the centre of Ely. The annexe had everything we needed and the host (Robert) was very helpful, providing some milk on arrival. It was also very quiet and the off-road parking was ample. Nothing not liked - the only small item that would have been helpful was a shower mat for the bathroom (we used tea towel from kitchen as otherwise the bathroom floor would have got wet).

• John (8/5): Very good -
• Denise (10/5): Perfect - The host was amazing and the apartment was perfect for myself and my Dad, we used it for somewhere to sleep and shower whilst visiting family, but I would have happily spent a week there, close to local amenities and walking distance to the river and town centre, absolutely lovely and modern annex and perfect for what we needed.
• Julia (10/5): Ideal accommodation for work purposes and exploring. A relaxing and comfortable stay. - Safe and quiet location but with plenty of useful amenities nearby. Secure parking.
