The Boathouse - A 4-star waterside hotel with a refurbished pub, luxury lodges, and direct access to the Broads

Located on the banks of Ormesby Broad, The Boathouse features six boutique-style bedrooms in the main building, some with water views, king-size beds, and bathrooms with rainfall showers. Three woodland lodges accommodate groups of four to eight, with kitchen facilities and terraces overlooking the surrounding nature. A long bar with bay windows, an open-fire pub area, and a light-filled restaurant serve classic pub dishes (£10.95 and above) alongside refined options like sea bass and duck (from £14.95). Guests can explore Broads National Park by boat or visit Winterton-on-Sea's seal colonies and sandy beaches. The hotel is 40 km from Norwich International Airport and 6 km from Great Yarmouth.

Pros

The waterside location provides direct access to boat rentals and scenic views of the Broads.

Woodland lodges feature fully equipped kitchens, private terraces, and flexible sleeping arrangements for groups.

The on-site pub offers both casual dining and refined gastro options.

Cons

Some lodges have kitchenettes rather than full kitchens.

The top bunk in family rooms is unsuitable for children under 12.
