Clean, great location and different

Didn't realise tied to another boat so a little tricky to step into but lovley and private

This is a pretty narrowboat that's fitted to a very high standard and is moored in a quiet area of the Ouse riverfront. The host was very responsive and there was someone who waited for us and showed us around the boat, made recommendations for going out, etc. Ely is a lovely city with plenty to keep you busy for a weekend getaway.

People need to be aware of the canister toilet - perfectly serviceable with the right expectations. We were aware of it, so it wasn't a problem at all for us.

Beautiful location

The car parking

Very comfortable stay in a beautiful location.

Another different form of accommodation crossed of our wish list. An experience not to be missed. Exceptionally well designed and equipped, offering comfort above expectations. Perfectly situated on the river close to pubs and restaurants with a short stroll to Cathedral and town centre. Check in was well organised with Garf on hand to explain the intricacies of a narrow boat. Private parking was close by. Would certainly recommend for couples looking for a new experience. ps. Welcoming wine and chocolates were much appreciated.

Nothing not to like.

Everything! Special little touches like having milk and chocolates. Recommendations to restaurants and grocery stores. Very accommodating to our needs . It was just fabulous in every way

Brilliant location. Lovely accommodation. Ely really pretty place.

Location is great, peaceful but with visiting swans and plenty of chatty dog walkers. The boat is really well equipped, I cooked on board four nights out of seven. Having suffered the cramped bathroom arrangements of other boats, Puzzle's is a real pleasure - spacious shower, good layout and everything works! Bed really comfy and sofa adequate if you occasionally need to create space between you and a snoring partner! Ely is a jewel and also a great base for exploring this part of East Anglia. The better food options are in town rather than on the riverside.

Not the owners' fault but the wifi in Ely is very poor and we really struggled to get a signal so "wifi in public areas" needs to be read with caution. Given the circumstances - Covid etc - we needed to be able to maintain contact with family and business whilst we were away and it was difficult to do so. TV signal was also very variable, screen pixelated etc.

We loved our stay on Puzzle. We had everything we needed on board and it was actually more spacious than it seems in the photos! Such a lovely, peaceful weekend!

Location is perfect. The boat is very well furnished, and has all equipment.you would need.

Managing the loo capacity

The Puzzle Canal boat was a luxurious and cosy place to stay on our first trip away from home for over a year. The boat is beautifully finished with wood flooring throughout and most of inside the boat is also finished with wood. The fur rugs by the bed and the sofa were a sweet touch. Throughout there is a surprising feeling of spaciousness and comfort. It was a joy to cook in the well-equipped kitchen whilst looking out at passing boats. The bathroom is bigger than on any narrowboats we’ve stayed on previously with a large shower cubicle and powerful shower. The toilet took a bit of getting used as it was the first time we’ve come across a cartridge loo but no problems at all. The bed was slightly harder than usual but I slept very well and it was a joy to take breakfast out to the front of the boat and enjoy the views of the river and make the acquaintance of friendly swans and ducks! Bliss! Afternoon tea after visits further afield were also a treat outside on the boat and it was an incredibly relaxing, peaceful and healing trip away. The Puzzle was meticulously clean, especially important and reassuring during present Covid times. We appreciated all the cleaning products left in place which is not often the case and always handy with a hairdryer. Staying in such an unusual place ensured the trip had a fun sense of adventure. As stated in the description, the access to the boat is rather tricky and something to keep this in mind when booking the boat. Many thanks to Martin for his prompt and informative help at all times when making the booking. Thank you also to Garf at The Boat Yard for showing us around the boat. Furthermore it was helpful to be able to leave the car at the boatyard.

Just to note that although we had no problems boarding the boat this might not be the case for everyone.

The perfect setting for a memorable romantic getaway.

We couldn't of asked for more. We planned to go for a meal but once seeing the inside of the boat it would of been a shame not to spend as much time as possible in it. Martin was amazing very helpful and everything you would ever need plus more was on that boat And feeding the swans was a highlight from the kitchen window Thank you for sharing your boat with us. We will defo be back

There was nothing at all. The place is amazing
