The Pike & Eel is an 18th-century inn set in 17 acres of grounds on the River Great Ouse, in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, just a stone's throw from the town and 10 miles from Cambridge. Inside you'll find a 200-year-old oak bar with a copper top, cosy nooks, and a snug with a roaring fire, while the adjoining restaurant offers panoramic river views and opens onto its own wrap-around terrace. Rooms and suites are finished to a high standard, and the on-site marina provides a peaceful base for exploring the Cambridgeshire waterways. The operator also offers versatile spaces for celebrations. Nearby you'll find the Norris Museum and The Raptor Foundation, both around three miles away.
