On business in the area so only stayed one night, great local pub atmosphere even mid week, small but perfectly adequate room, comfortable & had a good nights sleep. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of choice. Slightly difficult to find even with satnav but great setting in lovely surroundings. Overall excellent value for money & worth a visit....

Superior rooms are much bigger and better than standard ones. Food is very good, and can be good value (2 mains from a selected list 9.95), but a la carte can be pricey. The beer is very good. The breakfast is excellent, especially the sausages, which also feature as a dinner main course. Excellent location on the river.

We arrived at lunchtime, not a good time, as the place was heaving. We were asked to come back after 2.0pm. The food looked great at lunchtime, so we reserved a table for 20.00 that evening. We explored St Ives nearby and enjoyed a walk along the banks of the Ouse. The bar staff were excellent but run off their... More

On business in the area of St Ives UK and stayed one night at the Old Ferry Boat. Just a few rooms but very well done. Great nights sleep nice and quiet. The food was very good served in a nice Pub setting. A bit hard to find with out a Navie but so not let this turn you away.... More

Oozing atmosphere and character this Old English Inn is a little gem. We booked bed and breakfast and were checked in by James who could not be more helpful. The room was a tad small with a bathroom that could best be describe as miniscule. The room was freshly decorated and the bed comfy with crisp linen and a good... More

It's a pub, and doesn't pretend to be anything else, so if you want 4-star rooms and service go elsewhere. What you get is a very old picturesque inn in a lovely peaceful location, with attentive friendly staff, and an adequate but hardly luxurious room. Unfortunately it is sometimes let down by its kitchen - it's only pub grub, of... More

We have returned for the 1st time in over 2 years. Having been once a month with a car club, for many months, previously. Our group left because of the downward turn in most departments. Today, what a lovely welcome with very friendly and attentive staff. So nice to see a large selection of bottled soft drinks at the bar.... More

What a wonderful 3 night stay! Amazing history and building, nice cosy bedroom, a perfect and quiet location. Kat and her team couldn't have been more welcoming and they all made the place so homely. We also had plenty of information and guidance for days out. Would highly recommended a stay at The Old Ferry Boat.
