Situated within 11 acres of picturesque parkland alongside the tranquil Ormesby Broad, The Boathouse stands as both a charming country pub and an esteemed wedding venue. Originally the historic Eels Foot pub and boathouse, it has been meticulously refurbished to offer exceptional country dining and luxurious accommodation.

Choose between secluded comfort of our woodland lodges or stay in the main Boathouse building in one of our indulgent Bed & Breakfast stays.

Our lodges offer a variety of options, Bittern Lodge sleeps up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms, Heron Lodge accommodates up to 8 people in 3 bedrooms and Tern Nest is ideal for 4 people in 2 bedrooms. Each lodge features fully equipped full-size kitchens (Tern Nest includes a kitchenette with microwave), luxurious bathrooms and private terraces. Crafted with cedar interiors that enhance their natural surroundings, our lodges combine cosy warmth with light, contemporary furnishings. The open plan kitchen/lounge area includes leather sofas, a coffee table, wall-mounted flat-screen TV and a solid-oak dining table. Modern shaker-style cupboards and black granite countertops complete the fully-fitted kitchen (Tern Nest includes a kitchenette with microwave), offering a home away from home experience. Each lodge is equipped with modern bathrooms featuring luxury fixtures, showers and heated towel rails.

The Boathouse also features a beautifully renovated pub and restaurant, seamlessly blending intimate dining spaces with areas suitable for larger gatherings.

Inside, a spacious bar overlooks the broads through several large bay windows, providing picturesque views.
