We arrived about 1.45, we hadn't booked but we got a table by the window which was lovely. There was a very large party having lunch but we were served promptly.
The food was lovely, staff very good, reasonably priced. We would not hesitate coming back.

Perfect lunch 

Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Loved EVERYTHING about it! Quaint, historic building, beautiful views, quick walk down the road to the High Street. Food was OUTSTANDING! It was one of the highlights of our trip.

Wonderful experience!!

Attended a wedding at Waveney House Hotel on 16 September and stayed overnight. The staff were so helpful, friendly and hard working - nothing was too much trouble. They are a real asset to the hotel. The venue was perfect and all wedding guests we spoke to were very complimentary of the venue, food and service.

Lovely wedding venue with excellent service

Having just returned from spending four nights at the hotel , we can't thank everyone enough for making our stay a memorable occasion. The food , both breakfast and dinner were  of a high quality, with professional  , friendly service. The room was perfect, overlooking the river with a high  standard  of cleanliness , very much appreciated on our return each day. The terrace and bar  is  an ideal place to relax ,  and enjoy all the activity of the river, with a cool glass of something at the end of the day. Beccles is a small Suffolk town and the hotel is ideally located , giving walking access to all it has to offer. In order to really appreciate the hotel's river location we would highly recommend hiring a day boat, the views of the hotel whilst motoring by enhanced our visit   . So much so we have already booked our return stay for next year. Highly recommend the hotel.


Memorable sty at Waveney House Hotel

Lovey setting, lovely staff, lovely food. Had a great stay only wished it was longer. Spent 2 nights in this 15th century hotel and loved it. All the staff were pleasant and attentive, room was nice and big we could ask for more. Had one couple complaining about the squeaky floorboards and that they had a terrible nights sleep because of it….it’s 15th century ffs, they did seem happier when they got a discount, scammers!! Takes all types. Would defo recommend a stay here, live music on the river bank Friday night, well done to all.

Great 2 night stay

I booked table for lunch 2 weeks previously for today and had confirmation back.

Arrived today for lunch and was told only open for residents. No apology whatsoever, or why they hadn't emailed to cancel.

I was very annoyed and upset as had booked for my friend's birthday.

Disgusted

This was a dreadful stay. We had booked a hotel room with river view for £160 a night. My partner opened the curtains to see the view the following morning to find a man on the roof removing moss about 30 cm away from us, staring at us. This was rather embarrassing as we were in the middle of getting changed. 

We phoned the reception but an hour later, the man was still there and nothing had been done. We were told ‘oh you’re checking out soon anyway.’ We complained to the receptionist and she implied it was our fault for complaining, offered no apology and said that the window in the glass was not see-through so he couldn’t see us! This was ridiculous. She refused to give us her name and told us she did not have to put up with us complaining! Clearly there is no interest in privacy of guests, politeness of staff or a comfortable stay. Terrible place.

Dreadful stay and rude staff

Have been here many times before Used their online booking system for restaurant meal and staff were unable to find our booking. After giving my name again,  and showing my booking confirmation, it was eventually found( luckily there was a free table. Not a good start! My starter of wild mushroom and thyme pate was very disappointing- two very thin slices of indistinguishable bread, looked like the thin crust, cut in half lengthways and toasted. I’ve  never seen such poor ‘focaccia’ before. The pate was very strongly flavoured and the salad far from fresh. No one came to ask us how our starters were and no comment made when my virtually full plate was taken away. My main of fish and chips was fine and yes, this time we were asked how our food was - empty plates so pretty obvious. Sadly, we won’t be returning. 

Disappointing evening meal

On the strength of a single overnight trip (day of the Queen's funeral), I find it hard to credit the string of extremely negative reviews. As in so many hotels and restaurants nowadays, many of the staff are young and presumably inexperienced: but all those I encountered did a really good job. The location is fabulous.

The room (§5) was clean, spacious and contained everything one needed. Wifi good. Shower and a huge bathtub, lashings of hot water when one needed it. 

Lovely dinner: took the local fish plate (a mistake as I couldn't't finish the main course). Then pork with delicious onion rings (one of my weaknesses) and a raspberry pannacotta for pud. Reasonably priced wine list. Full (not buffet) breakfast the next day was comprehensive and generous.

Strongly recommend a stay and a meal here. Ignore the naysayers! Thank you for a lovely if short stay.

Helpful professional people, lovely room, excellent dinner and breakfast

We spent two nights here and enjoyed the location beside the river - helped by the lovely weather we had while there.  Food was excellent. A few minutes walk (through the graveyardt) to the town on Beccles. Only quibble was the heat of the hor water which seemed to have been turned down - no very hot just warm water!
