Ivy House Country Hotel

Very poor sunday cavery as having been before on this occasion we attended in a large group as everyone in the group felt the same. At £16.95 per person this was a total rip off.The beef was very chewy as meduim rare, The turkey was overcooked & as for the roast potatoes were just terrible, Asked for a jug of water 4 times for the table as never came, The veg was very poor a it was overcooked & left out as very little choice too.

We had our Staff Xmas Party on the 6th December and the whole night was amazing. The food was brilliant, tasty and the service was excellent. The front of house staff serving us food and drinks were very friendly and we had everything we needed. Angie and her team were spectacular and would highly recommend anyone or company to have there functions at this establishment as you will be looked after well. Thanks everyone for a wonderful night 😀👏

Great position for the Broads Nice hotel with large rooms but could do with some modernization and better maintenance of the site.

Beautiful setting with delicious food! The hotel is in a beautiful location just a short walk from the Centre of Oulton Broad where there is a lovely park, in interesting museum (with free entry) and a few pubs and restaurants. You can also take a boat trip from here. We highly recommend the food at the hotel, our evening meal and breakfast were both excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

1 night stay one night stay. Hotel is in a lovely spot. Very comfortable room and friendly staff

Review Ivy House We came for three nights on a TravelZoo offer in mid October. We found it an idyllic setting and had a wonderful welcome by an energetic Carenza, one of several young staff who were equally enthusiastic and attentive. The garden room we were given was large, comfortable, very well appointed with large screen TV, good WiFi, coffee /tea maker, plenty of plugs and a great view. The thatched barn interior for evening meals and breakfasts was fantastically well restored. On the downside, our first evening meal was disappointing. There was no Caesar dressing on the chicken Caesar salad and the chef did not appreciate that substitution with plain mayonnaise does not compensate. However, Carenza, the restaurant manager handled it well, apologising, providing free coffee and taking 10% off the bill. In the evening one has to negotiate several unlit paths. Finally, the relatively new shower unit fitted to our room, without grab rail, soap dish or anti-slip floor base stickers is, in our opinion, an accident waiting to happen. Despite these criticisms, we would highly recommend this place for river trips on the beautiful Suffolk Broads and for easy access to Great Yarmouth, Norwich and Southwold.
