Situated in Ely with views of the magnificent Norman cathedral, Poets House has now opened with 21 individually styled bedrooms that combine their original features with every modern comfort. The restaurant, with 60 covers, is open throughout the day to serve the best of contemporary cuisine with seasonal specialities and fresh, locally sourced ingredients. And a function room opening onto the gardens offers capacity for 100 guests, making it a perfect venue for special events and wedding celebrations.
Originally consisting of three Grade-II-listed properties of the early 1900s and the home of a renowned local author, Poets House has undergone a sensitive, design-led transformation into a uniquely-stylish hotel, restaurant and event venue.
Coupling the buildings’ original charm with stunningly innovative interiors, Poets House affords guests the perfect blend of luxurious comfort.
From the second you arrive and are met by the resident butler, you can be certain that Poets House will charm with a level of service and indulgence that is designed to leave you wishing you could stay for longer!
