Ivy House Country Hotel

The location of this hotel was great for exploring Oulton Broad and surrounding area via series of accessible footpaths from the back of the property which also has easy access to Oulton Broad South railway station. Staff at the hotel work hard to please and service is good. Therooms are spacious and clean but they are very dated by way of furniture and bathroom fittings. The tv is tiny for the size of the room too. With some inves**ent this could be greatly improved. The bed was extremely soft - not good for those with back issues. The breakfast was very good and the meals in the restaurant were ok. We ate at the local copper Smoke House in the town and would highly recommend. For the money paid through Travel Zoo the stay was passable but doubt we would return.

Lovely hotel.A bit quirky,not a run of the mill hotel.It allows dogs to stay. The hotel is in the countryside.There are some nice walks which are quite easy as there are no hills. We had a large room which was very clean as was the bathroom. The restaurant has a good view and the food was excellent.

We had lunch to celebrate a birthday, but were very disappointed. A very limited menu choice and the quality of the meals had deteriorated since our last visit in December. The waitress service was good, but I'm afraid we will be eating elsewhere in future.A

We returned for our 1st Yr wedding anniversary and was not disappointed! The service from every staff member is second to none, so friendly, professional and helpful they just can't do enough for you. Stayed in the suite and was immaculate with two bathrooms, lounge area and mini fridge. The grounds are kept beautifully and the chirping birds and visiting wildlife really helped us switch off. We have already rebooked our next stay and looking forward to it!

Just returned home after two nights at Ivy house hotel, we booked through a travel zoo deal and was so pleased we did.

A wonderful 5 days. Ivy House was brilliant. Welcoming, good service, comfortable accommodation, excellent food. The grounds of the hotel were well kept and wild life was busy. Nothing was to much trouble. We were well looked after and have booked for next year.

We booked a 2 night break through Travelzoo and had a fantastic time. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds surrounded by fields of cows and horses. We had an amazing room ( I think it was an upgrade) It was the honeymoon suite and was lovely. The breakfasts were very good. Lots of choice and very tasty. We ate in the hotel both nights and plenty of choices on menu. All the staff were lovely. Helen on reception was very friendly and helpful. You can walk from the hotel to Oulton Broads in one direction and the nature reserve in the other.

I have just spent a wonderful five days at The Ivy House Country Hotel. I was on holiday with 9 friends and we were all very happy with our experience there. From the moment we arrived, the staff were very welcoming and friendly and they all did everything they could to ensure our stay at the hotel was enjoyable. We were very well looked after by everybody and in particular, Carenza who made sure that we had everything we needed in our conference room. The food was excellent and the rooms and ensuite bathrooms very large and comfortable. We have booked our next visit there and hope to make it a regular event.

A group of 9 ladies have just had a 4 night stay at the Ivy House Hotel and it has been an excellent experience. The most helpful and friendly staff were always available to help us and ensure we had everything to make us comfortable. The food is of a very high standard with plenty of choice. The experience was so good we have booked our next stay.
