Needing some much needed relaxation, my husband and I headed off to the Ivy House Country Hotel for the Bank Holiday Weekend. This hotel simply has everything for a relaxing break. We were greeted by Cliff and who was very welcoming and made us feel as if we had arrived at a second home. We boooked the Honeymoon Suite which... more

Orignally booked for Friday night, as we planned to move on for Saturday. The warmth and friendliness of the staff was evident over the telephone when originally making the booking. We were not disappointed when we reached the hotel. The owners obviously choose their staff very carefully and they are a real credit to the Hotel. The room allocated was... more

We have just returned from our second trip to this hotel having convinced friends to join us. Everything was as we expected - the rooms are spotless, the reception staff attentive and the waiting staff for dinner exemplary. The standard and quality of food is second to none. The Gardens and river frontage produce an air of total calm only... more

Just returned from a 2 day break at this delightful hotel. We booked a 2 day summer special which cost £65 each per night each for dinner bed and breakfast. The room was fine and the restaurant even better, we had 2 excellent dinners and the breakfast was more than adequate with a very full menu.One of the best restaurants... more

The food and service were excellent and the hotel was hidden from the main road and was, therefore, very quiet. Nice walk to Oulton Broad and good road access to Lowestoft & Gt. Yarmouth. more
