I really don't know where to start. I do not normally leave poor reviews preferring not to leave one at all. The owner is on holiday and the hotel is, understandably, short staffed. No restaurant available in the evening and no residents bar. No staff on reception just keys laid out.

Room 4 (a superior room) was small and dated with overbearing wall decor. A main light plus two overbed spotlights made relaxing difficult. Bedside lights would have been better. We were there during a heatwave. No room fans in the room and, as commented previously, no receptionist just a mobile number incase of emergencies.

The worst thing was the room ceiling. There were two \"rack\" panels screwed to the ceiling (possibly due to a serious ceiling sag or previous water leak) and signs of damp and the start of a mould issue over the toilet/bathroom door. I have pictures available.

If anyone had been available we would have asked for a different room or refused to stay.

The room did not match the illustrations on your site at all.

The only plus point was the breakfast which was very good.

Point of information, when asked who was in charge in the owners absence, we were told there were only 2 staff on site.

For £244 for two nights it is most definitely NOT value for money.

This property was probably a very nice house in its day with a great location close to Ely centre and backing onto the golf course. It’s now very tired old lady that’s seen better days. It was clean and the breakfast was very good.
There was no one to receive us and the room key was left on the reception desk with a note. We had room 8 which is on the top floor which must have been back in the day the servant’s rooms.To reach it a door from the first floor led to a narrow flight of stairs which was not wide enough to carry a bag at one’s side. There was no-one available to help with baggage and my wife and I are in our mid 80s.
The room temperature was in the high 80 degrees with the only cooling was a noisy fan and windows to open. The outside temperature was 84degrees.
From our elevated position we were able to see the rubbish gathered in the gutters and weeds growing through the roof tiles. Also the rotting garden furniture and winter rotted sun lounger mattresses.
If you are an intrepid traveller then this quaint guesthouse is for you, but do try and stay out of the attic room.
If you are thinking why didn’t we raise these issues with the manager, the room cleaner/chef who we saw as we were leaving informed us the manager was away and he was in charge. He and the waiter in the breakfast room were the only staff we ever saw.

We booked the Nyton because we wanted to be near the centre of Ely but not near the main streets. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the centre and in a quiet road. There is a large garden bordered by trees and very pleasant to sit out in. Our room was well equipped, beds were comfortable, and the refreshment tray was well supplied. The room was cleaned daily and the beverages etc replenished. The owner was very helpful and the staff likewise. breakfast was in the very pleasant dining room and the cooked offering was both appetising and served hot. The whole breakfast selection was very good. We ate in the restaurant the fist evening and were very pleased with the menu and food. We were glad we booked the hotel.

Would love to be able to give a higher rating because there is lots of amenities in room the staff were friendly room serviced daily free WiFi lovely big garden birds and trees and in a great position to explore Ely. It was quiet and dark.
Unfortunately the place stinks of stale cigarettes which as a non smoker with heart and lung conditions is very off-putting and means I wouldn't stay here again. The room was very dusty with questionable stains on the carpet and linen and yellowing paintwork. There was black mould in the shower. My bathroom was tiny but adequate. The bed base looked like it was made of wooden pallets.
It is rather dated and in need of a deep clean and a refurbishment.
It could be excellent with a little tlc.

Arrival was traumatic. Property was poorly signposted and unlit so I drove past. The forecourt was so dark I had to use the light on my phone to get from my car to the door. The man who checked me in gave hurried and unclear instructions and did not take time to answer my questions or show me how things worked. The room was clean but shabby, with some wallpaper beginning to peel. The toilet was cramped, the shower only ran at one heat setting and the hairdryer was broken. The bed and the breakfast were ok so I could sleep and eat but overall not a pleasant experience.

large premises with nice grounds, good location for Cathedral etc, seems the General Manager ovesees most tasks , The room #1 was clean but could fo land we could leave cases in room ahead of the official check in time. It fell apart however with the evening meal which we did not enjoy. The GM wore scruffy paint splattered trousers and this was distracting , years ago it was the diners who were encouraged to dress a bit smart, which we did in those days. the lamb was tough and the veg. hard, Manager and my husband disagreed on the quality of the food, to be to be honest He left most of it. rather wish we had gone to a pub ,,

Ideal location for Graduation at Ely Cathedral

The room was clean and comfortable with all the necessities you need when on first arrival. This also included a lovely cooked breakfast with the option on preferences for how you wanted certain breakfast items cooked. It was a 10 minute walk to the Cathedral and an ideal location for my wifes Graduation that we had at the weekend. And it being central to all the local amenities, would definitely stay again and visit the town centre and shops in the near future.

Didn’t actually stay although we were booked. The condition of the ‘hotel’ was such that we felt uncomfortable due to the untidiness and clutter everywhere which would make it impossible to clean to meet covid recommendations. The rooms we were offered had a distinct offensive smell. The fabric of the building was also uninviting.

Quirky and lovely little hotel in central Battle. You couldn't be more central if you tried. Room perfectly adequate and comfortable. What sets this hotel apart is the restaurant with great home-cooked food with locally sourced ingredients - great food and served by lovely people who really care about their hotel, staff and food. No need to eat anywhere else. We'll stay here again.

Character, charm and individuality (the very opposite of a bland chain hotel) with a welcoming and helpful owner.

Hotel was good, large parking area. Room clean, bit dated maybe. Having said that its an old house with lots of character.

Unfortunately I arrived to a damp and slightly dirty room at the top of the guest house. My glass by the sink had clearly not been cleaned from the last occupant which was a little concerning in a covid-world.

It was lovely having an en-suite, but having to crouch down in the shower to fit wasn’t ideal. I’m by no means a tall man - it was just a very small shower!

Breakfast was fantastic and the service was brilliant - it was just a shame that the room and bathroom was so small!

Location was great for getting into Ely.

We liked the extensive grounds & being able to eat our little picnic teas outside. Such a relaxed atmosphere generally.

very good accommodation

The Nyton's overall experience was very good.
An ideal location within walking distance from the city centre. The price was appropriate to the season.

Friendly staff

The staff at the Nyton were very helpful. The room itself was quite small but adequate size for our one night trip. The bathroom was very small and the shower wasn’t the best but I wouldn’t want this to put anyone off the Nyton. The breakfast was sublime and served in an old fashioned hall which gave a good vibe. Located just a short 10 minute walk from the Centre of Ely and the cathedral I would recommend this place if you’re visiting the city.

Review 4 star rating

No specific issues however not what I would consider a 4 star rating. 3 star at best. I had a single room which was outdated and very basic. Service was good.
I wouldn't stay here again based on the rating simply because it wasn't what I expected.
In fairness I did book late in the day so my arrival was perhaps unexpected.

Okay but...

Unfortunately neither the restaurant or the bar were open, which we were not aware off before our stay. This property is set in lovely grounds but the property it self needs some tlc.

POOR!! no way a 4 star...

When I arrived the receptionist was also decorating the hallway, blocking the entrance on a dodgy looking ladder.... no safety signs present.
She didnt seem to know how to work the booking system and it took some time to get into my room.
the whole hotel was dark, dingey, dated and damp.
I would say it was very clean either.
also the bar was closed throughout our stay.
Once in my room, the beds were small and uncomfortable, the tv was smaller than my phone, the bathroom was dated, no water pressure and mould around the windows. as well as cobwebs everywhere.
wifi signal was poor
we didnt even risk breakfast, was to scared.
if there were availability in another hotel I would have left!!
this is in no way a 4 star as they claim.... i would struggle to give it 2 at best.

Ely Nyton Review

Ely is a beautiful place, we went up last weekend for the OU graduation ceremony. The Nyton hotel was comfortable, clean and steady the food was really good. No luxuries but everything that you would want. The manager was very attentive and accommodating.

Frustrating experience.

Really frustrating car park. Difficult to negotiate with a vehicle from the owners making access even more challenging. My son caught the side of his car, as many others had obviously done in the past. So upsetting. Was looking forward to this stopover but it was a frustrating experience.

Nice but deserted hotel............

Didn't see anyone on reception the whole time i was there! My key was on reception when I arrived but the place was in darkness. Still no one there when I went out, came back or when I checked out the next day. Bar was closed the evening I stayed there, was hoping for a beer before I went out that night. Breakfast room also deserted the next morning, was served after waiting there for a good five minutes. Full English was nice, but beans not that hot and server never returned with my requested ketchup! Was not warm enough to wait for it. In summary - nice enough hotel, good location to walk into Ely, plenty of parking, nice area but acute lack of staff on reception and behind the bar.

It was a little quirky but remember this is a guest house not an \"n\" star hotel. We enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable and well fed..

Really dirty place with the owner who makes breakfast holding his cigarette. The bathroom needs a good scrub.

Good location.

Very good quiet location for walking into 'town' and a very nice breakfast.
Was charged extra for our small dog and wasn't aware of a charge until we checked in.
Could do with some updating in the rooms but overall a nice place to stay.

Overpriced.

Great position. Great Breakfast. That is as far as it goes. Never worth 4 stars or even 3. Had everything, but not everything worked. Bar never open. Evening meals never on. Bedroom tiny. TV postage stamp size. Bathroom so small toilet was side-saddle. Water trickled through taps. Paid far too much - expected a really nice 4 star for the money - wrong !

Disappointing for such a lovely location.

We checked in here just before 8pm, there was no-one about, even the telephone number left just rang out. Room key left for us, the room was warm and very pokey, the bathroom was so cramped you could brush your teeth whilst sitting on the toilet. Worst of all the althe water pressure in the room was a dribble.

There were only two things going for this location, the cooked breakfast and the proximity to the lovely city centre of Ely.

When we can to leave at 10am again there was no-one about :-( shame I couldn’t give this feedback in person, and that we had already paid in advance.

One night in Ely

Stayed in Ely for one night with my Mum. Found the Nyton to be a fantastic country hotel. Breakfast was tasty and beds very comfortable. ten minute walk into town centre. Would definitely return here. Staff were lovely too.

I arrived late and had not let them know through a variety of reasons. I had not realised reception staff time is limited. A fellow guest let me in and my key had been left with a note. My room was small but comfortable and well organised
(would not suit a tall guest) with a magnificent early morning view of the Cathedral. The room cooled with the windows open. Breakfast was standard fare.

Nice Guest House in the middle of Ely

Perfectly situated to explore Ely on foot (and that's from dedicated non-walkers!). Lovely old fashioned pub down the road, short distance to central Ely with the cathedral, main road and market place. Wonderful Farmers and Craft Market on 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. Then on down to the river. Breakfast was good and freshly cooked to order. All facilities in our room which was small but comfortable. Meals available some evenings. Lovely garden although we did not explore as it was a very cold February!

OK but not top of the list

Positives

Quiet
Nice toast

Drawbacks

Shabby chic with a twist of Fawlty Towers everything needs attention from decor onwards. The prog rock guitar through breakfast was bizarre.
