Beautiful property. Check in was easy, fast, and friendly. Staff in the hotel and restaurant were wonderful. The property is nicely located by the water and near many of the towns restaurants. The food I had during my stay—breakfast (included), light fare, and dinner—were all tasty, fresh, and well presented. The only disappointment was my room. I got an email after booking telling me that the room looked out onto the roof and the restaurant vents. I’m not sure if this was done to encourage me to upgrade. But it that was the only issue, it didn’t bother me. But upon entering the room, I found that it was next to the elevator, next to the hallway door for this wing, small, the window didn’t open, there was no A/C, and the room itself was old and small. Although “discounted”, I didn’t find it to be a good value. Lesson learned. But if I was in the area, I’d choose to come back here again…just with a different room.

Needs modernising. Stayed here lots of times over the years. Not as good as it used to be. Bathroom cleaniness not too good either. Shower poor. Very noisy on Saturday nights due to pub on the corner. Food ok but not enough staff. Often breakfast food run out and had to find someone to ask for replacements. Wont be coming back next time.

2nd stay at the Wherry - booked deluxe double room with view. Room clean but en suite showed signs of wear, grouting with mildew in places and damp stain to top of wall above shower. Lovely view but no net curtains, so very little privacy with curtains open, especially with boats moored up outside. Corridor carpets and decor quite shabby in places, and lift broke on 2nd night of stay. Breakfast on 1st day also could have been better, long delay in getting replacement food when buffet trays empty, due to problems in the kitchen, however waitress working really hard and apologetic about the problem which was out of her control. Only other concern was on checking out, went to reception to settle the bill, only to be told it had already been taken out of my account, and had to ask for receipt to check it was correct as not volunteered by receptionist. It would have been more respectful to me as the paying guest, & bearing how much we had paid, to wait for me to see the bill and check it first before actually removing the money from my account without my pre-authorisation.

Satisfactory stay
Friendly welcome, easy check in, lift to first floor. Room comfortable and spacious, tea and coffee making supplies. Nice shower and bathroom. Comfortable bed. Fabulous view from dining room over Oulton Broad. Menu a bit limited but typical pub fare. Satisfied overall with the experience.

Apart from the bathroom sink being a tad small and the Ghost Ship Ale not being on till Thursday night, the trip was great. Friendly staff, plenty of breakfast and great for walking the wetlands after work

Grubby, over priced shadow of it's past
Basically this is a tired hotel that no one seems to care about or have pride in. The room was ok, but hazard tape over electrical fittings, dirt built up on the radiator, towel rail, tile tops and skirtings, everything felt a bit sticky like it hadn't been cleaned well. Couple that with the disinterested front of house staff, literally pressuring dining guests out the way at 8pm so they could set for breakfast. Over priced bar more akin to London prices than a grubby Lowestoft carvery. I won't be back!
