I stayed at Sycamore House recently while visiting Ely for a conference. I was looking for a clean, comfortable and quiet place to stay, and Sycamore House provided this. My room (the 'Tack Room'), located in a separate building from the main house, was spacious, clean and comfortable, and very quiet. Breakfast was served at a large table in the... More

Arrived early at 11am and left our car in their ample car park which was a bonus as we could then walk into town for the day. Lovely room (tack room) and as good an English breakfast as you could have anywhere (and I've had a few!). We travel extensively both in the UK and abroad and thought very highly... More

Positives - Place run by helpful and pleasant couple. Really nice view over large lawned garden. Annexe where we stayed was mainly quiet, clean, warm and comfy. Vegetarian breakfast was average rather than great but plenty of toast and coffee supplied. Negatives - Toilet was cold as it had no heating source. Blockage in toilet (not caused by us!). Space...

Wanted a place to stay for one night as attending a friends wedding in Ely. Sycamore was one of a few recommended places to stay by friends who lives in the area. Many places won't accommodate a one night stay in Ely during peak season and we were glad they didn't as we were lucky to find the Sycamore. Stayed... More

My mother loved this B+B, it was her favorite on our 4 week trip. We stayed for two nights in the twin "coach house" room. The faculties were cosy, clean and the owners very friendly and helpful. We were able to walk a short distance to visit the cathedral and shops/restaurants. Breakfast was very good and the view to the... More

Made to feel very welcome by the hosts despite it being a difficult time for them (a death in the family). Room was in a separate outbuilding, clean & tidy with colourful decor. Facilities all adequately operational (eg shower) Breakfast was freshly cooked & taken in the main house dining area overlooking back garden so made it feel very homely... More

This is the first time I have stayed in a Guest House and I have to say it was most enjoyable. We had a lovely room with ensuite shower room - loads of tea and coffee and freedom to come and go as we pleased. Breakfast was a hearty affair and the large communal table enabled us to meet other... More

We were in Ely for one night for a wedding, and were lucky to stay at Sycamore House. Room was clean and comfortable, although we were surprised to find two singles rather than a double bed (ask about this if you care). Lovely garden. Highlight was super-friendly owners Linda and John. Linda cooked an excellent breakfast to order, went out... More

Linda & John really make you feel welcome. They always have time to chat, remember my previous stays and share experiences.Comfortable rooms, new flatscreens & DVD, free and working WiFi and last but not least excellent (cooked) breakfasts. Easy to find, enough room to park even the biggest Mercedes. Rooms are located outside the main house, spread across the grounds... More

We have stayed at Sycamore House before some years ago, and found ourselves back again whilst attending an event at the cathedral. Having been in one of the outer rooms last time, we were in one of the rooms within the house this time. The room and bathroom were spacious and clean with everything you would need for a comfortable... More
