A very warm welcome from Mike who manages the establishment. Our room was called Treasure of the Broads. It was beautifully decorated, a huge modern bathroom with rain shower over the top of it.
We had a meal in the evening and although we hadn’t booked prior to arrival and they were fully booked Mike had no issue with finding us a table with a great view of the Broads.
We would definitely return again in the future. The atmosphere of the pub is relaxed but very professional. Credit to the Chef.
A wedding was taking place on the day we arrived but this didn’t cause us any noise related issues and we enjoyed watching from afar!
All staff and Mike couldn’t do enough for us and we were offered a late departure which we kindly accepted.
A shame we couldn’t have stayed longer but a good excuse to return!
Thank you Mike and team for your exceptional service. What a wonderful experience we had.

We attended a wedding. Positives: Great views over the Broads, excellent food. Negatives: unwelcoming manager, venue lacks character, corporate one size WILL fit all. We asked for a cup of tea at 9pm and were refused as the kitchen was shut. We questioned this and were finally presented with a cup of hot water and a teabag. Wedding package did not include welcome drink, nor wine with dinner, not even a coffee after the meal. Drinks very expensive. Sound system so poor not all the vows or speeches could be heard. Food service slow, table 1 had finished main course before table 6 had been served. No choice for breakfast, it was full English (vegan option) or nothing. No cereal, pasties, fruit or yoghurt. There are better wedding venues in Great Yarmouth.

We stayed in one of the onsite lodges, it was lovely and clean and just the right size for a family of 3. We had a really lovely lady check us in and help us with sorting a takeaway for the evening, as they don’t serve food on a Monday night. The ducks onsite were an added bonus of having some nature literally on your doorstep! The restaurant was reasonably priced and the food and service were again lovely. Would visit again.

My dad loved his Seabass linguine meal, mum liked her Hunters Chicken. My vegan burger was a big soggy but overall a lovely place to eat. Would be lovely to eat in the garden when the weather is better. Beer was good. Service was great. Would try it again next time we visit Norfolk.

We went there for a date as I’ve been before and it was absolutely lovely but having been there only for about 10 minutes we witnessed an argument between staff members I would assume she was maybe the manager an oriental looking lady ripping strips out of another lady and she ended up in tears !! Poor lady and so unprofessional I’ve seen better behaved people in the troll cart on a Saturday night we left in disgust won’t be going back !

Food and location lovely. Speed of service wasn't too bad even though very busy. One very rude member of staff, otherwise, staff pleasant. I suggest the waitress with blonde hair and glasses learns better manners, or change jobs. Good amount of parking.

Beautiful surroundings, it’s a lovely place to go at any time of the year. Superb food and plenty of it. You couldn’t wish for better staff as they are so friendly as well as being very professional. We are already looking forward to our next visit!.

Turned up at 6:50 for a 7:00pm booking, table wasn’t ready left at the bar to order drinks. Barman never acknowledged us for the 10 minutes we were stood at the bar. Other female staff behind the bar asked if they could help and we explained we would line to order drinks to which they replied they couldn’t do that as it was the barman’s jog. Waited again another 10 mins and finally got our drinks. We were then we’re asked if we could sit at our table so that I order could be taken. We explained that we couldn’t do that as our table wasn’t ready!! We we’re finally given a table at 7:30 and ended up going up to the bar at 8:00pm asking someone if they could take our order. Not the service we expected from here, really disappointed!!
