Photos and Description of the Cambridgeshire vacation rental Tranquil self-catering cottage all rooms en suite - sleeps 5

Imaginatively restored this delightful Coach House is full character and charm. Although in the centre of this historic city its situation at the bottom of the walled garden makes it an ideal retreat. Used as a Coach House until the 1050's great attention to detail has been paid to the conversion so that original details such as stable paviors, latch doors, exposed beams and wood floors are much in evidence. On the ground floor there is a kitchen with an old pine dresser and table. Decorated with an array of kitchenlia and even a'Lazy Susie' clothes airer. Appliances include a fridge, electric cooker, microwave and toaster plus all the crockery, cutlery and utensils required. Upstairs there three bedrooms - two doubles both have Victorian brass and cast iron beds, made up with interior sprung mattresses and crisp white linen. The single room was originally the grain store and this very comfy cabin size room is appealing to young and old alike.

The historic city of Ely is the home of one of England's most magnificent cathedrals. Known as 'the ship of the fens' it has been a prominent landmark for almost 1000 years. The Coach House at 17 St. |Mary's street is not only two minutes from the cathedral but is also Cromwell House, The Old Gaol Museum and The Stained Glass Museum. Equally close are a vairiety of eating places, the shops etc. Ely is ideally located for visiting the University City of Cambnridge, Newmarket - the capitol of horse-racing, as well as being within easy reach of the north Norfolk coast and Suffolk with its quintessential English villages. The surrounding countryside has a wealth of National Trust stately homes and gardens..For bird-watchers there is the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Welney; Wicken Fen - one of the few surviving fragments of undrained fenland - is a nature reserve of national importance. In short this unique landscape and its diverse attractions has something for everyone.

Although we say unsuitable for elderly or infirm we have had several octogenarians and older staying who have enjoyed it very much. They find the way it is presented reminds them of their youth! There is also a downstairs toilet which they find useful.
