Old Ferry Boat Inn

About

The Old Ferry Boat Inn, often referred to as Ye Olde Ferry Boat Inn, is a historic public house situated in the picturesque village of Holywell, Cambridgeshire. The establishment dates back to the 16th century and is famed for its evocative atmosphere, complete with a stone‑built pub interior, a full‑service restaurant, and comprehensive conference facilities. Six‑plus large bedrooms are available to guests, making the inn a convenient lodging option for travellers looking to explore the surrounding countryside. Today the property is operated by Greene King, a leading British brewing group, and continues to be a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The inn’s architecture and setting have even attracted painters such as W.F. Garden, and its guests can enjoy themed evenings, historical anecdotes – including the legend of a young woman named Juliet who is said to haunt the premises – and a traditional English pub experience. Whether you’re looking to sample roasted meats, retire for the night, or host a small corporate event, The Old Ferry Boat Inn combines classic country‑village charm with modern hospitality to deliver a memorable stay.
