Positief: Netheid, personeel en service en voorzieningen
Peacocks is lovely. There is no B&B front desk; rather, one mentions “we’re staying with you” to the bustling tearoom staff, and someone appears immediately to give you a cheerful welcome to the establishment. Located above the absolutely booming Teahouse on the ground floor, the two upstairs B&B suites are accessed through a side entrance and some stairs. Upstairs, each of the two roomy suites has its own bedroom, living room, and ensuite, and both are full of furniture, books, antiques, and ephemera (read: if your idea of a lovely B&B resembles an uncluttered and modernist Ikea lifestyle, then this might come as a surprise). Wonderfully mismatched vintage tea cups and saucers sit alongside a well-stocked, in-room tea selection, and complimentary slices of cake from downstairs await. The bed is comfortable, there are adequate plugs for recharging electronic devices, and the fully stocked bookshelf beside the loo is stroke of brilliance. Breakfast was by order, and excellent. Peacocks is well placed beside the River Great Ouse with its pretty River Walk, and 10 minutes from both the busy railway station and Ely Cathedral. Free parking was up against the picket fence in front of the B&B. Highly recommended.
