Travelodge
(http://www.travelodge.co.uk) has cheap rates if you book in advance as low as â£15. the ely travelodge is at the a10/a142 junction, which is convenient for motorists, but noisy and a mile from the centre. there is a small budgens supermarket nearby for cheap self catering.
Braham Farm (campsite)
(http://www.caravancamping...), 1.5 miles south of ely on the a10, tel +44 01353 662386 - barely marked junction. don't get it confused with the two acres campsite at little thetford which really smells bad, is expensive, has a grumpy owner and is noisy. the braham farm campsite is run by a friendly couple, it's far enough from the road not to be noisy, and is closer to ely. it's got a footpath to ely from it. it's got a good view of the cathedral too. quite small will need to book on summer weekends maybe?. lovely! note: quite basic; no shower facilities.
