The Boathouse

We went there for a date as I’ve been before and it was absolutely lovely but having been there only for about 10 minutes we witnessed an argument between staff members I would assume she was maybe the manager an oriental looking lady ripping strips out of another lady and she ended up in tears !! Poor lady and so unprofessional I’ve seen better behaved people in the troll cart on a Saturday night we left in disgust won’t be going back !

Food and location lovely. Speed of service wasn't too bad even though very busy. One very rude member of staff, otherwise, staff pleasant. I suggest the waitress with blonde hair and glasses learns better manners, or change jobs. Good amount of parking.

Turned up at 6:50 for a 7:00pm booking, table wasn’t ready left at the bar to order drinks. Barman never acknowledged us for the 10 minutes we were stood at the bar. Other female staff behind the bar asked if they could help and we explained we would line to order drinks to which they replied they couldn’t do that as it was the barman’s jog. Waited again another 10 mins and finally got our drinks. We were then we’re asked if we could sit at our table so that I order could be taken. We explained that we couldn’t do that as our table wasn’t ready!! We we’re finally given a table at 7:30 and ended up going up to the bar at 8:00pm asking someone if they could take our order. Not the service we expected from here, really disappointed!!

Excellent food , beautiful surroundings, friendly staff , its our second visit and diffently won't be the last..really good value for money . Can't wait to return . My partner and I call it our special place !

The Boathouse is a bar/restaurant with Wedding & Conference facilities plus a large free car park all in a most idyllic location on Ormesby Broad. They have 4 double rooms upstairs where we stopped for two nights En Suite Room. In reviewing hotels we look for the extra touches which say a lot for the owners. Quality towels, heated (controllable) towel rail, air con with easy to understand adjustment, quilted toilet rolls, shaving mirror, nice toiletries, tea/coffee with biccies, flat screen TV with text & sub titles enabled, safe, hairdryer, ample drawers & wardrobe, comfy bed with bedside drawer unit & light, windows which open fully & the “piece de resistance” a combined shoe horn & clothes brush. To top it all the bathroom has a sensor light to prevent stumbling round in the dark looking for the light switch. All in evidence at The Boathouse. Bar/Restaurant. There is a well stocked bar and our experience of breakfast & dinner was top notch. There was a comprehensive menu , food came quickly, was hot and well presented. We couldn’t believe the size of the breakfast. We have attached some photos

Don't dismiss this as just a Pub with rooms. The accommodation is lovely. The rooms are quiet and well appointed. Our Host, Mike, was welcoming and attentive as were all the members of staff we came in contact with. The food was of good quality, well cooked and presented. A truly lovely experience on every level.
