ok I guess
Pros:

Located on the waterfront. Large room with sitting area and a large TV.

Cons:

The room faced the main road and was a little noisy with windows open. The room was difficult to get to, through many doors and narrow corridors. The bathtub plug did not work.

Friendly hotel next to the water
Pros:

Lovely location to sit, have a drink and watch the sun go down over the Broads.

Cons:

I guess we got the last room. Only a view of the kitchen fans. The accessible bathroom smelled of mould.

Great base for exploring the area.
Pros:

Location is really good for exploring the local area. Room was basic but clean and comfortable. Bar , dining and reception staff were very welcoming , friendly and helpful.

Cons:

During our stay there was a function , Rave Bingo ,which was extremely noisy. The bar and restaurant was absolutely packed with people waiting to get in to the function room which made it difficult for residents to get to the bar to order food and drink. Unfortunately for us our room was directly above the function room and the noise was intolerable. Our window was vibrating with the bass noise as was the side unit. I was forewarned a couple of days before that there was an event but I honestly didn’t think it would be as bad !! I did mention this to reception when checking and the receptionist apologised. I had previously stayed at the Wherry and found it to be very good. I’m not sure I will return and definitely won’t if there is another Rave Bingo night. It’s a shame because otherwise it’s a really good place to stay.

Already rebooked
Pros:

Small steps of improvement throughout the hotel. such as tissues and water and glasses in the bedroom. Breakfast was excellent as usual. ( could be improved with tinned tomatoes that they used to have, and a serve yourself coffee and tea machine as premier inn do)

Cons:

Nothing all good been going there for about 30 years

Lovely hotel, great location, ample parking and friendly staff
Pros:

Comfortable room, clean and quiet.

Cons:

Food from the restaurant wasn't particularly great to be honest. We missed the Carvery by one hour and just ordered burgers from the main menu. They were a bit dry and tasteless
