More Reasons to Go
- The Boathouse is within the boundaries of the Broads National Park. It overlooks "the watery wilderness of Ormesby Broad—a haven of tranquillity all year round" (The Daily Telegraph).
- The building was renovated from an old country tavern. Downstairs has a relaxed feel with mismatched furniture and an open fire. Upstairs houses the contemporary Double rooms with a subtle nautical theme.
- Wroxham, considered the capital of the Norfolk Broads, is a 25-minute drive away. From there, take to the water on a Broads ferry tour. You can also hire a motorboat or charter a yacht.
- Winterton-on-Sea is 10 minutes' drive from the property. Stroll along the long sandy beaches that northeast Norfolk is known for. In winter, look out for the seal colonies that come to rest on the shore.
- Norwich is around 30 minutes' drive away. Lonely Planet praises the city for its "magnificent cathedral", "impressive Norman castle", and "thriving markets".

Everything was excellent. The welcome is do friendly and welcoming. The room is spotless and spacious. The bed is comfortable. The evening meal is a treat in itself and it was busy so pre-booking was a good thing. The breakfast has a huge variety including Eggs Royale. The location is peaceful looking straight out onto the water.

We just thought that the hotel was a bit remote with nowhere to walk other than back to the main road

We had an amazing stay — everything was perfect. Our room was beautiful with the most stunning view, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The food was fantastic too; we enjoyed the Sunday roast and breakfast each morning, all of it fresh, hot, tasty, and plentiful. The location is so peaceful, with lovely views over The Broads and plenty of local wildlife. It’s the ideal place to unwind, and we will definitely return. A special mention must go to the staff. Every single person we met was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
