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".
*Room options include the Captain's Cabin, Cheeky Teak, Broads View, or Treasure of the Broads (subject to availability).

**The property does not serve food after breakfast on Mondays. Dining credit to be used on second night if arriving Monday.

Unfortunately kitchen closed Monday evening, so went to neighbouring village pub with rooms, also very nice but so much more expensive- We will return to the Boathouse and/or their sister establishment the Waterside nearby

This was one of the best, if not the best, of the many TravelZoo jaunts we have undertaken. The situation is idyllic, the decor and ambience of the inn is highly impressive, the manager's welcome was highly hospitable, and the catering was first class. Perhaps the service at mealtimes was a little on the slow side, but the overall experience was memorable and rewarding.

Unfortunately we didn’t pick the best weather so didn’t fully appreciate the location, but it looked very pretty after an overnight snow shower. It’s a wonderful place to stay. Accommodation, food, staff and service. They really go the extra mile and so obliging in every way.

This 2 night break was taken following a very stressful few months. The food was extremely good and the staff very friendly. The room (#3) was comfortable and clean with plenty of hot water in the shower.
Other Comments
Probably the only downside was the shortage of buses along the main road. About 4 per day in each direction meaning it was difficult to get about without using the car - but this is not The Boathouses' fault. The vista from The Boathouse was superb and it was lovely watching the wildlife from our bedroom window and the restaurant.
