OUR HOUSE Just beyond Ely Cathedral lies Poets House, a boutique hotel, restaurant and wedding venue bursting with English charm
S ituated in the shadow of Ely’s grand Cathedral, Poets House is a multi- purpose venue, perfect for romantic getaways, corporate events and everything in between. Just a five-minute walk from the city centre, the site features recently refurbished interiors set within three originally Grade II listed buildings. The hotel’s 21 suites all come with a comfortable king-sized bed, a spa-like waterfall shower and an iconic William Holland copper bathtub. Guests can also enjoy Egyptian cotton bed sheets, cosy towels and air conditioning for an ultra- relaxing experience. Poets House is currently offering three exclusive deals on accommodation, perfect for a dreamy weekend away. Fabulous Friday – available only on Friday night stays – includes dinner, bed, breakfast and a bottle of fizz for £229, while Sleepy Sunday – on Sunday night stays – is the same for £220, minus the bottle service. Meanwhile, the
Two-Night Getaway Break includes a two- night stay, the first night’s dinner and a full English breakfast for £449. Poets House also offers corporate hire for meetings and conferences, as well as private events such as birthday parties and graduation dinners. Most enticing, however, are its wedding packages. The venue provides three packages: Emerald, Sapphire and Pearl – each suited to a different party size. Emerald accommodates up to 40 guests (£110 per person midweek or £130 on Saturdays) and includes an exclusive hire of the Writing Room. Also included are afternoon tea, reception drinks and prosecco for toasting! The Sapphire package (£145 midweek, £160 on Saturdays) supports a slightly larger guest list, with up to 40 people in the daytime and 60 in the evening. Sapphire includes the Writing Room, reception drinks and prosecco, plus a three-course wedding meal and half a bottle of wine per person. Poets House is running a special offer on Sapphire in October and November, pricing it at £5,220 for 40 guests (a 10% discount).
Finally, the Pearl package – the most comprehensive – accommodates 50 daytime and 130 evening guests from a base rate of £12,450. It involves exclusive use of the entire hotel, including its 21 bedrooms, from 1pm to 9am. Each person receives reception drinks, a three-course meal, a glass of prosecco, full English breakfast and half a bottle of wine. No matter the occasion, Poets House lets you celebrate in style.
