This is our 5th visit and the first time we have come away disappointed with our stay. We booked leam lodge after reading it was new for 2017. Having stayed in 4 other lodges previously we was disappointed with the dated decor and what felt like a lot smaller living area. We assumed with it being new and prime location on the marsh it would have the same layout and decoration as Marsh view and riverside. We also found the hot tub to be over 40 degrees and at times to hot to use despite trying to turn it down. The swimming pool area was dirty and the and the water was very foggy. We also witnessed on two occasions people leaning on the fencing between the Car park and park and nearly taking a nasty full as all the fencing was unstable and leaning over. The pub area was always clean however the old 2p machines could do with an update and the battered old sofe really needs to be removed. We love Waveney river centre and for our family it's out happy place but we did come away for the first time ever feeling disappointed. We also had friends with us who hadn't been before and after listening to us rate the place so highly was a let down that their first experience wasn't as great as ours had been in the past.
