The breakfast at the Rising Sun is great which is expertly prepared and the choice is amazing. The restaurant menu has a wide variety of meals for all tastes and we tried as many as we could! They were all superbly cooked, presented and all tasted fantastic with fantastic locally sourced ingredients. The family room we booked was absolutely brilliant. A large bed, bunk beds for the kids, massive bathroom, a sofa, desk/make up table and a large free space. One of the best features is the view of the water. You can see both ways up the river which is bustling with kayakers, boats, swimmers and wildlife activity. Best of all are the staff. The whole team led by Andy really made our stay the best it could possibly be and went out of their way to be friendly and always gave a professional service with grace and humour. I particularly enjoyed our interactions with Liam and Andy but all the staff were great! Thanks to everybody who made a stay perfect!

The summer is a very busy time for the region and Coltishall is no different. The car par is owned by the council so is shared with the Broads users and a pub close by so it can be a little difficult to park. However, Andy and the team were always on hand to help and it did not cause any problems.

Good location beside river. Our room was very spacious with a view over the riverbank. The breakfast included was excellent. Evening meals were extremely good quantity, quality and value for money.

Parking was on public land was not able to be prioritised in any way for overnight guests and difficult to find. . Access to our room was via outside steep metal steps. The windows and frames, &. blinds were covered in insects and needed a good clean.

Lovely location and a great restaurant for evening meal and breakfast. The hotel offered an extensive menu with large proportions. Staff very friendly attentive and obliging and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. Andy the manager was extremely helpful and efficient. The bedroom was good but with the rest of the accommodation needs refreshing.

The back entrance to the accommodation was a little untidy and not very welcoming. Needs to be refreshed and more inviting.

The location for sight seeing was perfect. The hotel has an excellent dining facility and exceptional menu choices for breakfast and evening meals. The portion size is way above expectations . Good area for outside seating. Dogs allowed inside as well. Staff were very friendly and attentive towards customers.

I had to ask for my room to be replenished with water etc. once mentioned, the management were straight onto it.

The room we stayed in had obviously been refurbished to a high standard - bed exceptionally comfortable and en suite kitted out with all the toiletries you would need. There was no noise from the pub below and we looked out over the River Bure. We ate in the pub most nights, which was obviously very popular with the locals, and understandable as the food was delicious and very imaginative. The staff were very friendly and did everything to ensure our stay was comfortable.

The only thing you could say against it was the access to the upstairs accommodation which was near to the staff parking area and the ground could have done with being paved as it was uneven underfoot.

Location was lovely alongside the broads , room was lovely and clean ,with lovely views of the broads and looking towards the green (no 2) from the window , shower was brilliant very good water pressure , and nice to have tea / coffee / milk etc in the room , would have been nice to have some biscuits aswell like most places do , staff very pleasant ,, food was exceptional, breakfast amazing , would stay again .

Situated on the banks of the Broads, very beautiful particularly early October, the Rising Sun is an excellent place to stay - with comfortable, well kitted out bedrooms and food to die for! The staff were excellent, very helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. The Manager, Andy, a very friendly individual and extremely helpful made our stay there one of the very best we have experienced.

There was nothing not to like

Staff were beyond exceptional, food was also amazing, a lovely place with lovely people making us feel welcome.

The only issue I had was we were above the main front door to the pub which was constantly banging as people came and went, the banging of the door was very annoying. I did mention this to the manager and explained it wasn't a complaint, however if he isn't told he cant address it. His response was in 3.5 years nobody else had mentioned it.

The Rising sun is in an absolutely stunning location. We turned up in the sunshine and sat for a quick drink on the busy banking before heading out. Very picturesque. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating also. Room was clean and well equipped, although due to the quaint nature of the property the bathroom has some challenges for those of us 6'0 and taller, but all adds to the fun. Also breakfast was delicious.

Parking is a challenge due to the popular location. We ended up parking up the road and walking down. Not the end of the world but just something to be aware of. Checkout at 10 felt a little early, but we knew this before hand.

The staff were excellent like to say Ruby was "silly bugger" and Liam love the pudding, both made our stay welcome. The room was big with lovely river view the pizza,s fantastic value and choice. The Evening meal was cooked really well.

The delivery's in the morning, but that can't be helped.
