The next House Collection property to open will be Paddocks House in June, located in a 17th-century country house between Cambridge and Newmarket.
The boutique hotel group has been established by David Toulson-Burke, Ian Cross and Jonathan Baker who have more than 50 years experience between them and previously worked in the senior management team at The Belfry, Birmingham.
The portfolio will consist of properties no larger than 45 bedrooms based on the small luxury house concept.
Commenting on Poets House Toulson-Burke said: "In keeping with our philosophy of affordable luxury, we wanted to create something very special here in Ely that would appeal to local people and visitors to the region alike."
