This place is ok but not as good as some other reviewers suggest especially if you have been led to believe it's in Lowestoft. In fact the taxi from Lowestoft station was £14 and took 25 mins!! I was late for my meeting the next morning because of the traffic. Maybe the head chef was off but the food was... more

Very good. Nothing more to add to other reviewers' reviews. We found the off road location very pleasant indeed as well as being right by Oulten Broads. Very nice, helpful staff. Food was good but our only reservation was that the risotto I had was a bit small in terms of portion size. (We bought a room + dinner package... more

We wanted to get away from the kids for the weekend but take our dog with us. We wanted somewhere that would be good for us and her, good food, nice surroundings, relaxing and we stumbled across the Ivy House Country Hotel website. What can I say, from the moment we arrived and was met by the friendly receptionist, who... more

We booked a two-night stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had the most wonderful weekend. We treated ourselves to the honeymoon suite, which was worth every penny - the suite overlooks lovely gardens, the ponds and the countryside and Oulton Broad beyond. It is laid out over two floors, and from the bedroom upstairs there is a stunning triple... more

My husband and I have just come back from a lovely weekend in this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and beautifully furnished and the food was well cooked and presented. The restaurant, the Crooked Barn, is exactly that. It's huge, with beautiful old beams and attractively furnished. The gardens are large and look lovely.... more

We have just returned from a two night break at the Ivy house Country Hotel. It is easily the best hotel we have stayed in. We had a lovely room in the Farmhouse with views over the lovely grounds and lilypond. Meals are served in the converted 18th century thatched barn and the food and service was really exceptional. We... more

This hotel is an absolute find... its excellent in every respect. If you want a short break, with a great environment and lovely food, this is the place for you. They do some great deals too, with dinner and breakfast included in the price of the room. Dinner is fantastic in such a lovely restaurant- the crooked barn.. The food... more
