I wouldn't consider this place as 5 star as advertised however the room we stayed in was spacious modern and had everything you would expect with a B and B booking. Covid prevention was taken seriously and well managed throughout the building including at The Waveney Inn where breakfast was provided. Staff were helpful and accommodating. Items missing from the room were toiletries I.e. Shower gel, shampoo etc. on asking it was advised these weren't included due to Covid? We stayed in the Aft Cabin, don't expect views of any kind. The grounds have a small area for Touring vehicles, campers and some glamping tents and lodges with an individual Spa just outside. Shower and rest room facilities for campers were individual rooms which were modern. The pool is a reasonable size though not big. There is a seperate building with verandas overlooking a mooring and the River Waveney which are self catering and offer nice views. If we booked again we would Choose a self catering option simply for the views. Breakfast options were adequate with a vegetarian full English choice alongside other options. We ate one meal at the Waveney Inn, the chicken pie with vegetables and mash was pretty ok, the vegetarian bean chilli with rice was average. We looked elsewhere to eatvour main meals and ate twice at the White Lion Wheatscre, food here was excellent and well presented with very good service. Day boat hire is expensive, we were quoted for the smallest boat 140.00 on the phone however when asking staff preparing a boat that the cost was 170.00. We chose not to hire a day boat but drive to Wrexham where we could pick up a 2hr boat tour at 28.00 for two people which included an interesting commentary with facilities on board for refreshments, snacks etc which were at an extra cost. We would recommend taking the small ferry crossing over to Walk on Carlton Marshes where there is good bird and wildlife to be seen. There is also a visitor centre part way along this route. The Terrace in front of the Waveney Inn is a lovely spot to take breakfast on a dry day as well as for a drink or a meal. This overlooks fields with the nearest having cows grazing. We would return if we wished to, either in the hotel or the self catering or perhaps the touring area if the weather were dry and somewhat warmer.
