Really enjoyable stay, staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Outside setting was lovely despite the grey weather, would probably be awesome on a sunny afternoon/evening.
Ate in the restaurant and the food was very good and portion sizes huge. Great selection of drinks in the bar.
Stayed in a double room with river view on the top floor. Room was very clean, bathroom and shower were great and the bed was super comfy, had a great nights sleep. Overall very enjoyable stay, would happily go back.

The pub-Hotel was ok, just a little disappointed with cleanliness, soaps looked liked they was there from previous guests, really should be wrapped for next guest to use. Coffee machine uncleaned still had pods in from previous guests, just little things that can be improved.As it is a pub can be a little noisy until customers leave so be aware if you have early starts next day

We would recommend The 3 Pickerels to anybody. It was lovely and quiet and a nice contrast to being in the city (Ely). Ely was also an experience to relish. Ely offered us a unique spiritual experience. The restaurant at The 3 Pickerels offered plentiful variety and beautifully presented.
