Pike & Eel Hotel and Marina  

On the banks of the Great Ouse in St Ives, this riverside inn sits a short stroll from the marina and traffic-free promenades. Cambridge airport is about 33 km away, with local draws like nearby marinas, the Raptor Foundation and historic Hemingford Grey close by.

An 18th‑century inn that pairs old-school charm with modern touches — think a copper‑topped bar, cosy winter nooks and a sunny terrace for summer. The main building houses 13 individually styled bedrooms (eight boutique designs inspired by local wildlife) plus five bright chalet rooms adjacent. Rooms feature air conditioning, private bathrooms and crisp white linen for easy comfort.

Riverside terrace and garden with marina views, a lively bar and an on-site restaurant. Complimentary wireless internet, free self-parking and multilingual, 24-hour reception keep stays simple. Pet-friendly policy makes it easy to bring the dog along for river walks.

Complimentary wireless internet and a 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff. Free on-site self parking available.

Seasonal British fare served across a characterful dining room and a panoramic river-view terrace. Expect a copper‑bar vibe, tempting sharing boards, a signature burger, vibrant vegan dishes and standout roasts — plus a coffee shop/café for snacks and a bar for evening drinks.
