Great location just a short walk to Oulton Broad and not far from the sea. Fantastic restaurant located in the huge barn and our Superior room was perfect. For winter visitors, it could do with a fire and cosy seating in the bar but otherwise a super stay.

This was an excellent deal. The hotel is lovely & our room was large and very clean. Water was piping hot & shower was a good rain shower. Our room opened onto a small courtyard so you walked down a footpath to the restaurant and bar. Food was great, breakfast freshly cooked to order & evening meals excellent. The restaurant, Crooked Barn is a really lovely room. But what really makes this hotel so great is the staff! Everyone was so polite, friendly and welcoming, a real credit to the hotel. We shall definitely return.

From when we arrived till we left the hotel and staff provided a really enjoyable experience.
The restaurant and food on offer made for a lovely experience.
The hotel is just outside Lowestoft but we visited Southwold which was a pleasant surprise and well worth a visit or stay.
Would use the hotel again.

Careful on the approach road after the narrow bridge it is unmade and has a number of uncomfortable pot-holes, most of which can be avoided if you go slow.

No hot water for most of the weekend. Damp / mould in room near bed. Had to ask for them to clean as it’s a health hazard. The hotel rooms really could do with a rwfurb
Asked the receptionist to book us a taxi on Saturday morning for a restaurant booking we had that evening & despite taking all details she forgot to do it
We booked the trip for us & as a treat to some friends & we were going embarrassed to have take. Them there
