The Old Hall Ely

The Old Hall Ely has become one of our favourite haunts when we want to dress up a bit, have top quality food and a special night out. Everything here seems perfect. We have also stayed overnight and the rooms are fabulous. Great place that is accessible for wheelchair users too.

Amazing hotel, very quiet when we visited, think it probably more in use as a wedding venue. The house is exceptional, beautifully decorated and very stylish. The best of everything, quality linen, towels,gowns etc. We stayed in the cathedral room, it was beautiful, very large, view of the garden and cathedral, roll top bath, separate shower, couldn't have asked for anymore The grounds were wonderful and accessible. The staff so attentive, everyone friendly and helpful. The restaurant wasn't available on our visit, but grazing boards were available and were plentiful. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Afternoon carrot cake was available when we arrived, which was lovely We're already planing our next visit, but for longer next time

What a wonderful experience, staying 3 nights at The Old Hall Ely. Four of us in two magnificent rooms with amazing views. Beautiful meals and wine. Lovely coffee and carrot cake, and to top it all, incredibly thoughtful and helpful staff. Sheer bliss! A wonderful stay in a unique setting.

We had a family lunch there and would highly recommend it. From slightly difficult dietary issues form our guests to swapping and changing the number in our party, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food, service, decor and surrounds are all first rate. Can’t wait to go back and possibly even just find an excuse to stay over!

After 3 attempts, we finally got married (covid) The Old Hall have been nothing but incredible. The staff (Amy & Stacey) are so professional, bubbly and enthusiastic, they almost become part of the bridal family. They look after everything from extremely early guests, suppliers, set up, cleaning down, clockwork running of the day with no hiccups. The venue and everything about it is beautiful, there's nothing that can be faulted. Food was delicious, great portions, a wedding isn't a place for a king size plate of mounted up food. Nobody went hungry. All compliments to the chef and serving staff. The next day breakfast was lovely, staff attentive. Couldn't fault! You really feel that you're the only couple using the venue for a wedding that year. It is a corporate large scale wedding venue. They do have back to back weddings and the only way to make it work is to have rules. This isn't a negative, you're made fully aware on booking. It's because of these rules, that it works! - unable to arrive on site until 11am, for us. A wedding at 12 meant we had to get ready elsewhere (no problem at all it was still a lovely experience) hopefully one day, they will have a room on site somewhere for bridal team to get ready earlier without entering the house. We would of had a 2pm wedding ideally, however with the postponing, a registrar was only available at 12. - check out 10am. Again for us, not a problem. We have 2 children under 2, there's no such thing as a lie in! This is fairly standard check out, but if you have gone heavy drinking the night before the alarm won't be welcoming. - flower drop off. Yes you can drop off anything for the wedding the day before. There's a room put aside and the system works very well. We was told there's a cool room for flowers, however that didn't seem the case when we started dropping bits off. We decided not to drop off flowers until the morning of the wedding, so peonies didn't open too early. This wouldn't be an issue for most weddings, it was only because grooms mother did all the flowers for us. Thank you so much Old Hall, to everyone single member of staff who makes the day . From gardeners, to catering, cleaners and event organisers. It truly was our perfect wedding. Look forward to spending anniversaries with you for years to come!

We have had a 2 days stay for my niece’s wedding, what a wonderful place. Beautiful building with very luxurious rooms,fantastic grounds such a superb setting for a wedding. The staff were all very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble and the food was also very good. Would throughly recommend

Ate here with friends (in a large group) and have to say the service and quality of the food was exceptional! The setting is absolutely stunning and from the moment you arrive and have a welcome drink, you can’t help but relax and unwind. Everything here was excellent

We stayed for a Valentine's dinner and overnight stay and it was wonderful. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. All of the team were helpful and friendly. The Cathedral room was very spacious, brilliant views and well appointed. We will definitely be going back.

Very disappointing Sunday lunch - vegetables were stone cold they arrived separately not even luke warm . When it came to dessert they had sold out of the treacle sponge - not acceptable for a hotel of this star rating and 2 AA rosettes for food .
