Would have preferred cheaper option for simpler,lighter breakfast, eg cereal and toast at one price, cooked at another. Property location lovely, and main reason we visited. Cleanliness of grounds, car park, public areas and rooms exceptional. Served at all times by often very young staff, with courtesy, friendliness, and professional/ caring attitude.Such a pleasure to find this.. Staff always had time to chat about our day/proivide extra tea/coffee etc. Loved the absolute silence in our room.No noisey extractor fans etc. Loved having a window to open,rather than one nailed shut as so often these days!Loved lack of"notices " around the property,Keep out/water hot/beware this that or the other! Most refreshing! Lovely decor. Smaller portion option for some dishes on menu a real bonus.

See note re breakfast. A second small armchair in double room if possible please. Lighting too dim to read by. Sat on landing sofa outside room to read.

The food was nothing short of phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the menu stood out. What amazed me most was the value—gourmet dining at a fraction of what you'd expect to pay at a high-end restaurant. A Hidden Gem Offering 5-Star Luxury Without the Price Tag I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic Boathouse hotel and dining in its on-site restaurant, and I can honestly say it exceeded all expectations. Rooms: The rooms are absolutely stunning—modern, spacious, and impeccably clean, with luxurious touches throughout. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the bathroom felt like a private spa, and the attention to detail was top-notch. It truly felt like a 5-star experience from the moment I walked in.

I lived here in my teenage years and I only live 2 minutes away from the Boathouse so this was a surprise for my wife who thought we were just going for an anniversary meal. The staff were so helpful to keep the surprise going and following a superb evening meal my wife was shocked to discover we were staying overnight and the room overlooking the broads was my old bedroom. The room has a superb view is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The bathroom, shower, bath are all a decent size and we had a very pleasant stay. Breakfast is additional cost but very nice with another stunning view of the broads.

Toast would have been nice at breakfast but we have nothing really to complain about.

Fantastic property with all the comforts of home. There was plenty of room for us as a family of 4 with a 20 and 15 year old who need their own space. The kitchen was very well equipped and we were able to cook our own breakfast each morning. The price was amazing value and we will definitely be back again as we love the Broads and everything Norfolk has to offer.

We only had a few minor issues in an otherwise amazing stay. The bathroom was not great. The shower is poor and the sink is tiny which results in water all over the floor when you wash your face. It also smelt a bit funky which is due to the damp. In the smallest bedroom with the bunk beds there are no sockets or drawer space and the light switch is outside the door. My daughter was a bit frustrated that she couldn’t charge her phone in the room. Other then that we loved it.

A perfect and peaceful location right beside the water, the lodge was warm and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen and en-suite bathroom for the main bedroom. We were a party of 8 and even one of the bunk beds was a double, very comfortable and lovely fresh white linen. Convenient parking very close but a car free area around the lodges made it nice and quiet, just a few ducks wandering around to remind us how close to nature we were. Plenty of parking close by and of course the Boathouse pub is 1 minute walk away.

The location was excellent, with loads of free parking. Very relaxing and with no noise. The lodge was bigger than expected and the beds comfortable. The restaurant food was very good.

The electrics were difficult to understand and seemed to have a mind of their own at times. Sensor light switches in the bathrooms would stay on for ages at times and at others, switch off after a short period. Not helpful when showering! We never did discover how to switch on one of the main lights. Didn't cook, so no issue to us. The breakfasts were generally good but took a long time coming, with not a great number of diners. Some of the full English had been overcooked.

We did not have a breakfast but had evening meals on all occasions apart from Monday, when kitchen is closed. We were still provided with a list of local ‘eateries’ as an alternative. All meals excellent. Good quality, great service. Situation superb, great views. Well situated for touring.

The shower door did not shut properly so soaked the bathroom floor. This was partially rectified by just placing a bath towel against the flow. Unfortunately, on first morning the cleaning was not completed in the bathroom so the wet towels were still on the floor when returning to the room. This was no big deal though, as we simply asked asked and were provided with extra towels.

Second stay at the Boathouse, but first time in a lodge. Enjoyed having more room in the lodge. The location is good, not too far from things to see and do up and down the coast and on the Broads. Enjoyed the ducks and even saw a hedgehog returning home to its nest under one of the lodges early in the morning. We did not have breakfast this time, but I remember it was good. We did have a lovely dinner one evening. The fish medley was very tasty.

The TV was very small and the sofas weren't very comfortable.

Excellent communication as we booked last minute. They called to check we were on time or to arrange to leave a key. Really welcoming after a long journey. Bar was still open which was good too. Staff really friendly. Facilities very good. It didn't say, but they did have mini bottles of shampoo etc and a hair dryer in the room. Excellent breakfast. Beautiful location.

No dressing table and mirror in room very high. Made it tricky to do hair and make up.

Gorgeous location with views over the Broads, fab.

It is a converted boathouse and the rooms are comfortable, but small, and same with the Bed (but this also a Uk thing vs Europe, with the beds on the small side). A tiny additional comment on breakfast (paid separately), which is a bit straight forward with good cooked food but tea and coffee from big thermos (DIY), it woudl be great to have had some fruit or yoghurt available as well.
