The living accommodation is good. We would have preferred a double rather than a queen bed as it was very tight either side of the bed. The kitchen lacked some equipment e.g. potato peeler, wooden spoons, dishes for cooking with and lids that fitted the saucepans.

Overall, we found the place pretty comfortable and the living space was nice. That said, the bed was a bit snug with just a queen size - a double would have been better for us. The kitchen could do with more utensils like a potato peeler, wooden spoons and proper lids for the saucepans. Still, it’s a decent spot for a short stay!

The lodge was lovely overall, but no free WiFi was a bit frustrating. Paying extra for it on one device was pricey. The location by the river meant flood risks and the approach was via narrow, single-track roads. Still enjoyed it, though!

The place was spotless and exactly as described online. The hot tub was well looked after during our stay. Honestly, it’s much larger than the pictures suggest!

We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, it had its ups and downs. The place itself is pretty spacious and well-equipped, with plenty of kitchen utensils, tea bags, coffee sachets and even a tiny washing up liquid bottle to get you started. It’s clear they’ve thought about what guests might need. That said, you can see signs of wear and tear here and there, which was a bit disappointing. The Christmas tree was a lovely touch, really festive and cosy. The hot tub is decent in size but sadly, it’s not in the best spot. You have to access it from the main door, not the patio and it’s right in front of the driveway, so no privacy at all. There are no screens or outdoor lights, so after 4pm in December, it’s pretty much dark and you end up turning on your car lights just to see what you’re doing when taking the cover off. We didn’t get to use it as much as we might have liked, mainly because it’s so awkward to get to and not very private. Plus, the plot itself was overgrown and in the dark, I had to carefully climb through brambles to reach the hot tub, which wasn’t ideal. Overall, it’s a nice place, but a few tweaks would make a big difference. We probably wouldn’t go back just for the hot tub situation, honestly.

We had a fantastic stay over Christmas! The house was spacious and spotless, everything we needed was there. The bedrooms with en suites were so comfy and the hot jacuzzi was just perfect for the chilly weather. Loved it!

We’re big fans of Waveney River Centre, this is actually our third visit and we’re already planning the next! The place has such a peaceful vibe, perfect for relaxing in nature. The lodges are spacious and kept in great condition, plus there’s a lovely restaurant and indoor pool that our kids adored. The only thing is, the local shop has shrunk quite a bit, so it’s best to stock up beforehand. Luckily, Beccles is only about 20 minutes away with supermarkets and great cafes - Twyfords is a must! We love it here.

The lodge was pretty decent, really close to the neighbouring one with the hot tub overlooking it, but luckily, no one was using it. It’s a simple place, but we liked it.

We had a lovely stay! The kids (aged 5 and 7) adored watching the ducks and swans from the lodge-it was so peaceful. The playground onsite kept them happily busy for a while too. Definitely somewhere we'd visit again!

Overall, it’s a lovely place, though the showers in the pool area looked a bit worn out and the hot tub was out of order. Still, we had a great time!

Overall, quite pleased with our purchase. The settees could be a bit firmer and the fridge lacked door shelves. Still, lovely stuff overall!

Settees were a bit saggy and the fridge had no shelves in the door, but everything else was lovely

We had a lovely week at Wavney River Centre. It’s quite peaceful, perfect for families and dogs are welcome which is a big plus for us. The pool is a bit on the small side, but we managed to swim a few times and enjoyed it. Booking a lodge with a hot tub turned out to be a great decision, everyone loved it! The pub nearby serves solid pub grub and the little shop covers the basics, so no complaints there. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was the wifi-paying extra for unreliable connection was a bit frustrating. The access road is narrow, so reversing sometimes was necessary when meeting tractors, but once out, we explored Beccles, Lowestoft and Gorleston beach easily. Overall, a good stay!

We had a fantastic week at Burgh Staith with a big group of us. The place was super spacious, perfect for 10 of us and kept really clean. The en-suites and bathrooms made things easy and the kitchen had everything we needed - pots, pans, cutlery, you name it. The hot tub was a real highlight, especially for the little ones who loved spending most of their time in it. We’d definitely come back if we’re in the area again, no doubt!

We stayed at Broadview Lodge recently and really enjoyed it. The layout was spot on, super cosy for us and our dog. The hot tub felt very private thanks to good screening and the deck had lovely views of the countryside-it was a great stay!

While the place is really peaceful, it’s quite remote, which can be a bit of a downside. We were lucky with the weather, but if it had rained, the only walks are along narrow country roads or field footpaths-not ideal in wet weather. Still, a quiet spot.

Really friendly check-in, after a call to say our lodge was available early - which was a bonus.
The location is quite remote and you need a car to get around.
Victora
Beautiful location and views,
Our lodge with hot tub was very lovely and clean x
We had the perfect week
Thank you we will be coming back soon x
Tracey
Lodge was I the perfect location and lovely, great views and ideal for us as couples and our dog.
The kitchen was well equipped and loved having home comfort like the dishwasher.
Only a couple of things not 100% the recliner sofa was broken in recliner position (but not a real problem)
The bed in the bedroom with the un suite was to low and big for the room, the post at the end, kept walking into and covered on bruises. A divan would work better.
The swimming pool was small but warm and as booking a spot was perfect for a quick dip and not busy.
The staff from reception to bar staff all very helpful and friendly. The restaurant had a limited menu but food was good and went to the extra help to accommodate our dietary needs.
We hired a boat for 4 hours and this is a must the mist wonderful day and a great experience. Again could not fault it.
All in all had the most relaxing, chilling four days. Just what we all needed.
Sue
We had the best relaxing holiday in barn owl lodge and we will definitely return again

Lovely lodge with great views across the marse land.Had cows close by.Saw deers and different birds.Spacious lodge especially having a big doggie Nice and clean .Everything worked and was good having freezer separate to fridge so lots of space .Need to drive as there’s nothing much close by eg supermarkets ,restaurants.Nice walks over the marse land.You get a little boat that takes you across the water to get to the marsh land.

We have a fabulous time, this is the second time we have stayed at Waveney (this time as a family) the lodge was clean and well equipped, the hot tub was a hit with the whole family, we also used the pool this time which was also clean and staff friendly. The only downside this stay was the pub wasn’t serving food we where looking forward to walking down for a evening meal and with having children this time I was disappointed with the play area
