"Lodge was nice. Very close to lodge next door and hot tub overlooked but no one in that lodge so not a problem. Lodge was basic but good."

"Our kids (5 & 7) both loved the location, being next to a nature reserve with ducks and swans meant there was always something to see from the lodge windows. The onsite playground was great for short entertainment too."

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

"Great week at the Wavney River Centre. Quiet, family friendly and dogs welcome . The pool is small but we swam a few times. Booking a lodge with a hot tub was also enjoyed by all. Pub does good typical pub food and the little shop sells the basics. Helpful friendly staff. Slightly irked that you have to pay extra for unreliable wifi hence only a good rating for facilities. The road in and out is narrow and you may need to reverse if you meet a tractor but once out we enjoyed Beccles, Lowestoft and Gaulston beach."

"We spent a week at Burgh Staith 5 bed accommodation and had a fabulous weekThe Hot Tub was a definite bonus as my 3 younger grandchildren spent most of the time in it when at property.The property was clean with plenty of en-suites / bathrooms and very spacious which was ideal as there were 10 of us.The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of pots/pans, cutlery and crockery etc. I would certainly return if we wanted to stay again in Suffolk/Norfolk"

"We stated in Broadview Lodge and it was lovely. It was well laid out and comfortable for the 3 of us and our dog.The hot tub is well screened and feels private and the deck offered nice views out to the countryside"

"You should know that in order to receive wifi you need to pay, and the swimming pool is also payable and time slotted.The ferry (probably due to the time of the year) had to be booked at reception"

"Great weekend away to relax and unwind."

"Peaceful but very remote. We were fortunate with good weather otherwise it would have been disappointing. Only walks are along the two single track roads leading to the centre and footpaths through fields, not good in the rain."

"The lodge was a great size, there were a couple of small maintenance issues, but they were attended to quickly.General cleanliness was good, but think a deeper clean is required."

"My wife and I stayed 19/2/24 until 23/2/24 so we appreciate it was out of season but we felt like they have crammed too many Lodges in a small place. Whilst the hot tub was fantastic it felt like we was on display as everyone could see you in it from all angles, a bit more privacy would of made us relax more. The weather was not kind to us so the ferry was not operating so if we wanted to go for a walk the only option was to walk along the single track road which we decided against. The Lodge itself was absolutely perfect well cleaned and maintained apart from paying for the WiFi which was very hit and miss as to whether you could get online or not. Overall we enjoyed our stay here."

"The lodge was okay but was missing some of the basic items we'd expect to be there (washing up bowl, dish cloth, bed side lamps, hand soap). Some kitchen items were in a poor state (pan/kettle/knife handles loose). Advertised Internet is a charged extra and limited to 1 device with a charge of £5 for each additional one, not ideal given the number of devices a family will have. WiFi strength was also very poor and prevented access in the rear half of the property. The hot tub was also turned off and drained before we'd left on our final day! Having said that, facilities such as the shop and swimming pool were good, and those issues reported to staff were fixed quickly. We still enjoyed the holiday!"

"Had a great time. Only one criticism- swimming can only be booked for 45 mins which is just not long enough."
Linda - Jan 2024
"Had a great time. Weve stayed several times and will be back in March.The property is fabulous but we have noticed that it is starting to show signs of wear and tear and could do with a general spruce up. New sofas are lovely. There wasnt 12 of everything as there should have been. Stove has a couple of rings not working even though the gas check inside cupboard door that was done in March has highlighted it."

"We did experience a couple of issues, but they were dealt with speedily and efficiently by the staff on site. Overall it was fine, quite isolated but we knew that beforehand and were happy to proceed."

"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."

"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 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"
