“Stepping into this historic riverside property, one immediately senses a certain enduring character, amplified by rooms that often capture the gentle light and offer serene river views. Meals here lean towards the delightful, with breakfast, included and well-regarded, setting a pleasant tone for the day, while the riverside terrace truly commands attention. While some areas might hint at a coming refresh, the attentive staff and the magical Waveney setting make a return visit a distinct possibility.”
