Cottage vacation rentals in Ely

Thank you Mary for letting us stay at your cottage, we had a great time and couldn't recommend it enough to anyone looking to have a peaceful getaway! The hot tub was immaculate and we also enjoyed the swimming pool. The cottage was tidy and comfy, and the location is great - close to some really nice walks and villages. Hope we get the chance to come back!

Lovely few days staying in South Creake. I visit Norfolk often for the beautiful scenery, villages and coast and this stay did not disappoint. A quintessential cottage in a quiet village but spacious and modern enough for 4 of us. We loved the hot tub too! About 20 mins drive from Wells and Brancaster beaches, lovely restaurants such as The White Horse at Brancaster. Clean and well equipped stylish cobbled cottage.

Highly recommend for a peaceful break. Watching the stars in the hot tub with an owl flying over was particularly magical.

Booked for my girlfriend’s 30th birthday! An unbelievable place to stay with such wonderful hosts, incredibly responsive and answered any questions we had. The outdoor bath/hot tub with the view is such an amazing addition. Everything is perfect about this place, would recommend to anyone and everyone and will definitely be back to stay here again!

Really wonderful stay!! Comfortable bed! Spacious and cute home. Great for a special occasion. John was very kind and helpful throughout.

What a lovely Airbnb this is, situated in a beautiful village too. We had a lovely relaxing stay, the Airbnb is packed full of the things you need, and the things you didn’t know you needed too! Loved it, thank you

We just spent 3 nights at Rivenhall Place and it feels like we’ve returned from a week in Tuscany! It was a truly special holiday and I can’t believe we were only an hour or so from home. We got really lucky with the weather so my husband, two daughters (ages 3 and 3 months) and I spent all day by the incredible pool and exploring the grounds. My eldest daughter especially enjoyed saying hi to the alpacas, sheep, geese and horses. We didn’t leave the property once (thanks to the Waitrose delivery) as it had everything we needed for a short break away as a family. Donna and her family made us feel so welcome and I can vouch for her infamous lemon cake - it is truly the best I’ve ever had!

Booked this as a one night break to destress and take a break from hustle and bustle of daily life. My friend and I were able to switch off and just enjoy the beautiful peaceful surroundings. Watching the sun set while relaxing in the hot tub was a lovely way to end the day. Simon and Denise were excellent hosts and were very down to earth and welcoming. They let us know they were available should be we need anything but otherwise left us be. It was a perfect little getaway and we would definitely stay there again. Lovely couple and a beautiful place. Thank you both again.

We had a wonderful nights stay and wished we could have stayed longer. You feel at home the minute you walk through the door and the Prosecco hunt is a bit of fun to start your stay off on the right foot.

A great secret cottage! Smack bang in the middle of a lovely village high street, with a nice pub and an impressive looking Indian restaurant, plus cafes and a few other shops.

Lovely stay in a lovely cottage. Perfect for what we needed over the weekend. Thank you

Really comfy and generously provided house with lovely bed and sunny back garden. Excellent location with walks straight from the door and plenty of options for eating out or in. I recommend the The River Glem Circular Walk , straight from the door, for those that like a day wandering around the quiet corners of Suffolk countryside.

Beautiful little cottage on a lovely farm with great walks for my dog. Peace and quiet in spades. Can't wait to go back.

We had a short but very pleasant break at Buttercup Cottage. The bed is super comfy and the house has everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay. The stairs are pretty steep but there are very well placed handles and motion sensor night lights, so that you don't take a tumble in the night on the way to the loo. Very considerate. A lovely characterful property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Fiona was a perfect host making herself readily available but at the same time recognising our space and privacy. Excellent to communicate with. The cottage is exactly as seen in the pictures and description. Nothing to fault. Main positives: the delightful patio area, how calm and peaceful it was. Spotlessly clean throughout and so many little thoughtful touches from a host who has clearly put time and effort into making your stay the best they can. We ate at both the Rose and Crown where food is excellent (tapas night) and the Queen Victoria which serves good honest pub grub and does it well. Would be very pleased to get the chance of a return visit.

My third stay in this beautiful barn and once again everything was perfect. The large totally secure garden space is such a bonus for the dogs. Jonathan always communicates promptly and is very helpful. I saw a little owl in the garden this time which was the icing on the cake. I totally recommend this peaceful place surrounded by glorious farmland.

This was an idyllic stay. The location, the home the photos are exactly as it is, beautifully decorated with great comfort and thoughtful personal touches to make you feel most welcome. The hosts Rebecca and Joe. were most accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Lovely self contained cottage in a beautiful setting. Everything you need to stay and we were even able to host family and friends for lunch and dinner during our stay.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Nice touch to get a short welcome from Joseph at the start. A cottage with lots of character in a super-tranquil location. Everything was 'just right' and thoughtfully presented. I especially enjoyed watching nature from the small conservatory in the early mornings with a coffee. If you want peace and quiet (which I did!) this is for you! I'll be back at some point.

we have had the loveliest week at the shooting lodge, so cozy, fantastic walks and lots of lovely local pubs too. Louise was so responsive and the lodge was immaculate. the folder of information about the lodge and the local area and what we can get to and see was so useful. Really enjoyed our week here.

It's been just the trip we have needed A bit of relaxation and healing! My eldest dog hasn't had the best time recently with his health but we had the all clear he is doing great and has healed a lot from his back legs! It's nice to see him being able to get excited and explore the secure garden before being able to go on walks again. Both dogs loved it and it really helped us all reconnect! It was very peaceful and we were lucky to have such lovely sunshine of 27 degrees! Thanks for the delicious biscuits, they were as they say, *chefs kiss! xx

This was our third stay here, so I think that says it all. We love the very modern cottage set in beautiful grounds and the walks around are amazing and so peaceful. Pubs and villages are accessible by foot and it is an excellent base to explore the surrounding area by car. Heidi is always very helpful and quick to respond. Would thoroughly recommend.

We were so bowled over by the superior quality of this beautiful converted coach house that we immediately rebooked for another stay later this summer! The house had everything we needed and was beautifully and tastefully appointed. Absolutely loved the kingsize bed which was so comfortable. Love the privacy of the house and backyard even though you are in the heart of the village and the friendly owners next door. Can’t wait for our return trip.

We had a fantastic time in North Norfolk and Zoe & Toby’s home was a joy to come back to each night after a day of sightseeing. We had a child of 5 years and a toddler 15 months. They both loved the house, especially the toddler who loves going up stairs. We were made aware of the fire place and steps so knew it would be a minor inconvenience with the baby but that was fine considering all the pros of the property.
