Waveney River Centre

"Tired lodges that need a makeover but clean, hot tubs are clean and great temp. On site facilities were questionable."

"Great site, Small and not over crowded but everything we needed. we had a lodge without a hot tub, the lodge had everything needed, very comfy, spacious and clean.The site has a bar/resturant with a games room which is great. the food was delicious, all staff were very friendly and nice.Small swimming pool on site, nice little play area. And a little foot boat to take you for a ride over to the marshes.Nice tranquil, peacefull place. highly recommend"

"Overall the lodge was very tired in need of a refit.Fridge had no milk shelves etc.Furniture all ok but getting tired again Basic implements inside the lodge but gets you through."

"The lodge was lovely. I would just recommend some hangers in the second bedroom"

"Our Waveney River Centre review: Lovely spot, will return"

"Though we had a few issues, this was dealt with amazingly and i am sure will be resolved for the next customer ! most comfortable beds.. had great night sleep every night"

"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, its a decent spot for a short stay!"

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

"Little bit tatty. Not cleaned to a very high standard. Lots of dust & cobwebs"

"The place was just as described, super clean and really roomy. Peaceful surroundings!"

"The accomadation was exactly as described and was clean and spacious.Quite and relaxing surroundings."

"Very big clean and fully equipped for our family Christmas break.The bedrooms were a dream as3 bedrooms had en suite The jacuzzi was very hot and perfect for the cold weather"

"Not luxury at all, worn, dated , tired , a big shame. Hot tub very old, no privacy . Hooks hanging off doors, cobwebs every where , windows not clean"

"Were big fans of Waveney River Centre, this is actually our third visit and were 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 theres a lovely restaurant and indoor pool that our kids adored. The only thing is, the local shop has shrunk quite a bit, so its 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. Its a simple place, but we liked it."

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

"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!"

"We really enjoyed our stay here! The lodges location is fantastic and the design is lovely - spacious and thoughtfully put together. We had a bit of a laugh when we called about a frying pan and big spoons and they said thats standard. Pleasure Hill Beach and Africa Live were definitely highlights. Staff were friendly too, just wish the kitchen was better stocked!"

"Loved every moment, cant wait to return"

"Great stay, really enjoyed the peaceful vibe."

"We stayed at the lodge recently and, honestly, it was okay overall. There were a few basic things missing, like a washing up bowl, dish cloth, bedside lamps and hand soap, which was a bit disappointing. Some of the kitchenware, such as the pan, kettle and knives, had loose handles, so they could do with some fixing. The WiFi was pretty weak, especially at the back of the house and you had to pay extra for internet, with a £5 charge per additional device, which isnt ideal for a family with multiple gadgets. On the plus side, the shop and swimming pool were great and the staff responded quickly when we raised issues. Oh and the hot tub was drained and turned off when we left, which was a shame. Still, we had a lovely holiday overall!"

"Absolutely loved it! Stunning scenery, peaceful atmosphere and a really lovely spot to unwind and relax."

"We really enjoyed our visit, but honestly, 45 minutes of swimming feels pretty rushed. Would love a longer session next time!"

"We really enjoyed staying at this cabin. Its well equipped and the hot tub definitely made our trip special! Privacy was great, which was a big plus. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the view - we expected it to overlook the fens or a river, but it was more tucked away behind roads and other properties. Still, a lovely place overall."

"We've been visiting the Waveney River Centre for a few years now and this was our third stay in Leam Lodge. Honestly, the lodge is always a pleasure-super cosy and clean and we loved the quirky towels shaped like dogs, swans and elephants. The welcome pack is a nice touch, though we did notice there were dishwasher tablets but no washing-up liquid, which was a bit odd. The views over the marshes are just stunning, perfect for unwinding. We did have a small hiccup with the hot tub on the Friday night-it was a bit cooler and not quite filled to the marker, so our shoulders were out of the water while sitting. Thankfully, it was sorted the next day and it was warmer then. Also, we were pretty disappointed to find out there's now a charge for internet access-seems a shame when you're just relaxing. Sadly, we couldn't try the restaurant as the chef was off ill, but overall, its a lovely place to chill out!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, would recommend definitely."

"We really enjoyed our stay overall. The lodge's location is fantastic and the design is quite stylish and airy. The staff were polite and helpful too. We did have a bit of a laugh when we called about a frying pan and some spoons-they told us that was standard! Pleasure Hill Beach and Africa Live were highlights. Just wish they had better kitchen supplies, though!"

"We had a really relaxing time here, just what we needed after a busy year. The hot tub was a lovely touch and we enjoyed locking the doors, having some drinks and just unwinding. Definitely hoping to come back again soon!"

"Had a great time, definitely coming back soon!"

"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."

"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"

"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."

"We had the best relaxing holiday in barn owl lodge and we will definitely return again From the ladies that lunch xx"

"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"
