    WHERRY HOTEL

    in The Broadscot Lounge

    Posted

    Hi Lori

    There is the Ivy House Hotel which is lovely and has a fantastic restaurant however I imagine pricier than the Wherry, however at this time of the year may have offers. There is also a very nice looking guesthouse opposite the Wine Lodge, the Mill House which looks nice and clean

    Or you could stay on the seafront at Lowestoft, only one stop on the train from Oulton Broad. The Hotel Victoria is very popular, whilst we haven't stayed there, we have done loads of weddings and always been impressed by the service, food and cleanliness of the place.

    The other place worth considering is Fritton House owned by Adnams

    We had some friends stay at the Wherry some time ago, and although they upgraded to 'deluxe' were less than impressed with the room. The carvery however is very good.

    Returning...and you might hear us this time !

    Sorry Neil, I have to disagree re claxons...... ;)

    There is more than enough room for a couple of grandchildren to run riot as they should while on holiday to let off steam. There is a great park at Oulton Broad and another at Beccles as well as the pool, outdoor play area and nature reserve at WRC and loads of interesting, informative places to get them curious, such as the bird trail walk at Rockland Broad, the windmill, Hardley Mill, one of our favourites although pricey now to moor, just before Cantley, the ruins at Burgh Castle, etc, etc.... lots to get children interested in.... It has to teach them more about their country and heritage than sitting round a pool on one of the Costas???

    And.... for me, there is nothing nicer than seeing claxons enjoying the Broads..... they are the future tourist industry after all! :clap:grin::grin:

    As far as places to eat, I wouldn't disagree with any of the recommendations, Surlingham Ferry, Coldham Hall and Dukes Head, Somerleyton all excellent. Also consider Dilraj (can get takeaway) or White Horse, Loddon and Chedgrave, chinese takeaway at Beccles (the harbourmaster will give you the details) and the Wherry Carvery at Oulton Broad.

    Hi Jonny

    I have no idea on either of those things... it's a long time since I went to Yarmouth in the summer season! However, I would imagine your best bet would be Regent Road which is the long road down to the seafront from the town centre full of tat shops.

    Hope you all have a great holiday.

    Perhaps Adam could bring the boat down on Friday and leave it there while you drive to Coldham?

    Nice Idea, although it won't work this time as we would have to get the boat back with Lydia on Sunday ready for school on Monday morning.
