“Yurt was roomy, well furnished and good value for money. The food at the Waveney Inn was delicious and the delivery aspect is inspired! Food arrives hot delivered by a very polite, cheerful young man and there is plenty of it. Showers and toilets are clean and roomy. Only complaint is the limitations for buying groceries. There is a small amount in the ice cream kiosk but as the centre is 15 minutes drive from the nearest supermarket this could be better. I bought a pint of milk but noticed that the use by date was the next day. I took it back but the young man in the kiosk said that the man who delivered said it was fine and would be ok for a couple of days. However, by the next morning when I needed it it had gone off. Other than that all staff were helpful and pleased to help including the guys on the ferry.”

“This is a great location for exploring the southern broads. We stayed on the Kingfisher motorhome pitches which were a good size. The facilities were great and very clean.”

“We had a lovely time, the lodge was well equipped and spacious and the hot tub was fantastic, although we were very disappointed with the Wi-fi, only 512kbs and had a limited placed on it unless you paid an extortionate price of £30 for the maximum speed other than that all was fantastic”

“We had a great stay in Ellingham Lodge. Spacious and very comfy with all everything we needed for a great break. Hot tub was great and the Waveney Inn can deliver great tasty food to your lodge.”

“We camped for 3 nights over Aug Bank Holiday and the site itself was lovely and in such a great location. The biggest nuisance we had whilst there were the Wasps - literally everywhere. I was stung within 30mins of arriving and was constantly worried about my 3yr old son and dog who kept snapping at them - that said, I don't know what site management were doing to address the issue, they may have been working hard at it behind the scenes - but we saw no signs of pest control. We didn't realise until we arrived that the onsite shop was permanently closed ( due to Covid ) - had we known we would've stopped at a supermarket on the way in. There was a small kiosk open but the supplies were very limited - as were the opening times, opening at 9am on a camp site seems late to me with most campers being early risers. (?) I had read reviews of the ground being tough for camping and indeed we also found this to be the case. The ground wasn't too hard as such, but very rocky. We bent half a dozen pegs trying to get the tent up and really struggled to find ground we could penetrate. So good quality, hard wearing pegs are a must. That said, the pitch was very generous in size - we had a good sized 2 roomed tent, a gazebo and the car, comfortably. The electric hook up was ideal ( although the designated plugs seem to be on the wrong side of the pitch, farthest away from the tent ). The childrens play area was great, the swimming pool was lovely and managed Covid very well. The toilets, showers and washing and laundry facilities were top notch and the Waveney Inn was exactly as you would expect from a gastro pub - although prior to our visit I had tried for 4 days to ring the pub to book a table for the night we arrived. There was never an answer and the mailbox was full, so unable to leave a message. I emailed via the contact us form on the website and still have not had any reply. Luckily, I walked to the pub as soon as we arrived and was able to book in. Views were great from all around the site. We hired a boat for a day which was great fun despite the awful weather... Overall, we would return to WRC without much hesitation, but with better tent pegs and armed for wasps.”

“Fantastic 2 night stay at the River center, first night was comftable heaters provided great warmth in the yurt. We hired a boat whilst on our trip which was great fun! Second night was a rainy night yurt roof had some wet patches from the rain which caused leak concerns. Other than that facilities were all clean and well maintained, shop was well stocked and the waveny Inn had some delicious food.”

“Good facilities, clean and tidy. Would have been really good to have been warned about the car park flooding (which evidently happens quite a lot).”

“We enjoyed our stay although there were a few issues. The could not get reception on the tv someone came an fixed this but it went off again not sure what the issue was, as we were out the last couple of nights we didn't bother anyone to fix it again. We asked for a plug for the kitchen sink but this never turned up. Cleaning: Our children found a mouldy spoon in their bedroom on our last day, this did concern me as we though that we couldn't get into till five although it ended up being six, due to deep cleaning. The site overall is lovely and we enjoyed out stay, we just felt for the money we had paid the lodge would have been to a higher standard, we have stayed at several lodges that have been at a lower cost but to a much higher standard. Thanks”

“Nice quiet setting but with four children of ages 20 months to 15 years old there wasnt much really to do around the immediate area to keep them amused but nice beaches near by for days out, sort of assumed we could go out for walks on the centres locations but there wasnt any. We had the cows right behind us and could see the boats from the decking so nice views for us parents”

“We normally love the Waveney River Centre but surprised to find out we had been allocated Coot 1 which has a view of the hedge, despite requesting a river view pitch. I don’t understand how the price for this pitch is the same as the others.... Just another point it now seems to attract roundly clouds since the yurts were built if you are looking for a quite camp this is not for you.”
