Used the Greendown Inn Ely as a base for the recent Wales v Ireland Rugby match. We stayed in their small camp site for 2 nights (11th & 12th March). Ok needs a taxi trip in the City, £10-£12 not bad. Bus passes by from time to time, but opted for the taxi.
Great pub, nice food, staff very helpful. Ok place could do with some TLC, but difficult to balance running a business & spending money on tarting up the place in these difficult times. The odd 2 or 3 nighter as a base camp for Cardiff, just fine. But a 2 to 3 weeks main summer holiday, I'd need to think about that one!
Don't agree with the review below who complained about the steak. Ours were just perfect. We thought the food menu was spot on, with a nice selection of drinks. Combined with a couple of warm log burners at either side of this wonderful 15th century building with low wooded beams ceilings!
Our thanks go out o the staff and owners of the Greendown Inn for making our second stay at the camp site enjoyable. Will use it again if we need to visit Cardiff.
