Peacocks Tearoom and Fine B&B

About Peacocks Tearoom and Fine B&B

Peacocks combines an award-winning tearoom with a small, characterful bed and breakfast, set in a Georgian building directly on Ely's riverside quay at Waterside. Two suites, the Brewery House and the Cottage, sit above the tearoom, each with its own sitting room, sofa bed and antique furnishings that give the place a genuinely homely feel rather than a standard B&B layout.

Downstairs, the tearoom serves homemade cakes, light lunches and an extensive list of teas in a garden setting overlooking the river, and has built a loyal following well beyond overnight guests. Breakfast for B&B guests draws on the same kitchen, with a full cooked option alongside lighter choices.

Its riverside position puts guests a short, level walk from the cathedral and city centre, and the tearoom's own reputation makes it as much a destination for a visit as a place to stay. The B&B welcomes children over the age of twelve.
