About The Woodlands
The Woodlands is a modest, family-run guest house set back on Grunty Fen Road, on the outskirts of Ely in Cambridgeshire. It's a small-scale operation with just four rooms, some of which share bathroom facilities, giving it a homely, unpolished character rather than the finish of a larger hotel.
Guests have access to a restaurant and bar on site, along with breakfast each morning and free WiFi throughout. There's a garden to sit in, luggage storage and porter and concierge services for anything you need sorting, and the property also does duty as a wedding venue with meeting rooms available for other events. A handy touch is the free pickup from the train station, useful given the rural setting. Pets are welcome, and there's free on-site parking for anyone driving in.
Beyond the grounds, Ely's pubs, restaurants and entertainment are within reach, making The Woodlands a straightforward base for exploring the area rather than a destination in its own right. It suits guests after simple, friendly accommodation without expecting a full-service hotel experience.
What guests say
Excellent, welcoming & v helpful hosts. Very clean rooms - always smells fresh when I walk in. I’m a frequent visitor and this is my first choice when coming to Ely or Cambridge. Beautiful rural location with free parking. Breakfasts are delicious and made with fresh ingredients.

A bit middle of nowhere/ farmland. Our room was small, only about metre space around the bed on 3 sides .Sean the owner is a pleasant man and cooks a great full english breakfast. He is only available first thing in the morning and in the evenings .It served us well for our 2 nights stay .I would recommend it for quiet countryside stay near Ely
