Historic Hotels in Cambridgeshire

Most famous for the university town of Cambridge, other delights that the county of Cambridgeshire has to offer includes the ancient city of Ely with its magnificent Norman cathedral… ‘The Ship of the Fens’, not forgetting the quaint market town of Huntingdon.

Whether it is the built environment of the county’s cities and towns or the unique Fenland landscape that piques your interest, you can be sure of a comfortable night’s stay in one of our handpicked selection of country house hotels. For a night or two actually on the water, the Hotel Barge Waternimf may offer a rather quirky option, or a more stately choice would perhaps be the 17^th century Orton Hall.
