Hotel Review
The Boathouse, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
WHAT WE LOVE...
This bustling pub with upscale B&B and wedding venue attached, once named the Eels Foot Pub, dates back to at least 1854. It boasts a wonderful location right on a quiet and rather undiscovered section of the Norfolk Broads. The pub's spacious restaurant serves hearty, good value meals while the comfortable guest rooms are suitably contemporary and well decorated, featuring bursts of colour. There are also three swish lodges available, sleeping four, six and eight, ideal for a larger gathering of family or friends. The Boathouse is ideally located for the sandy beaches and dunes, the restaurants and attractions of Norwich and of course, the stunning Broads themselves.
