Beautiful historic inn, lots of period features. We stayed in the Eln room which was amazing! We opened the door and just thought “wow!”
Great central location to explore Beccles town centre. Every little detail thought of in the room, very comfortable bed. Huge bathroom. Little extras like pots of porridge. Absolutely loved it! Definitely recommend. Staff were so friendly and helpful too. A perfect stay & we will definitely be back!

Location was fab, but we only spent one night and arrived in the dark because of traffic and poor planning, so we didn't get to appreciate the experience. We didn't meet the team, but our communication with them over the booking.com app and phone was easy.

The views from the conservatory where we had breakfast were stunning and quite compensated for the location on the edge of town. Anne our host was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was generous with an array of fresh fruit as well as a cooked breakfast and croissants.

Beautiful property and the attic conversion that I had as my room was huge, with lots of windows which meant that the room was full of warm sunshine in the morning.
The attic conversion has been completed very well, with good attention to detail and the room has been decorated tastefully.
Altogether a very nice place to stay.

As we came late Saturday and left for a wedding on Sunday morning all the local shops and boutiques were closed on a Sunday. Roy's was quite nice to go around.
The lido would be nice to visit in warmer weather.

Beccles for me is perfect.
Beccles for me is perfect. Its a friendly village where people say good morning/hello to you as they walk past. You drink/eat in pubs not bars, the staff remember you and there is a genuine smile on peoples faces and not a fake forced one. There is a Quay where you can sit and watch the world go by peacefully whilst having a hot bacon baguette or a pasty with a hot cuppa. Or if you fancy one a cold ice cream. The is a cafe where you can take your pets after a long walk. There were quite a few people where i stayed at the Swan Motel where they went on holiday with their dogs. Changes the whole atmosphere that you can take your pets with you. Theres public transport if needed but its not running 24 hours like the city so you get peace and quiet of a night. No over abundance of street lights so you actually see the night sky and the stars. Its just a slower pace which is very relaxing.
Beccles for me is like a second home, i look forward to visiting and hate leaving.

Beccles is a lovely market town on the southern tip of the Broads, it's well positioned for visits to Great Yarmouth, Southwold, Aldeburgh and Dunwich. The locals are very friendly. Also the Kings Head, Wetherspoons hotel was a great, comfortable well staffed base to stay in. Couldn't recommend it more.

Beccles is a quaint old Suffolk village.
Beccles is a quaint old Suffolk village. There are a few shops to browse and a Wetherspoons pub in the centre with lots of outside seating for summer. A good place to eat and drink. There are a a couple of car parks right by the shops. The Waveney House Hotel is a great place to have a drink and relax by the river anf watch boats pass by. Not an easy place if you have difficulty walking as it is uphill into the centre from the Waveney. Although you can stay at Weatherspoons for less, the Waveney House Hotel is in such a great location so would stay there. They have parking too, but make sure you register your car when parking (free but only if you log your registration on arrival).
the hotel is in a great location, the room was very big and comfortable and very clean, the bathroom included. The staff were very friendly and the food exceptitional, the portions were huge. Had a great stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Will be back
The cottage was easy to find and very well equipped and comfortable. The welcome pack was very.....welcome after a long journey. It was a very convenient location for the wedding we were attending and Beccles is close by and well provided with shops. Morrisons particularly handy.
Stayed for a couple of nights as we needed somewhere local for a family funeral. The cottage was a nice alternative to hotels and allowed some home comforts, flexibility and privacy. Small and quirky little cottage with character. Clean and comfortable. Well equipped.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the Waveney is a hidden gem. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent menu choices and the food was exceptional. Efficient service during meal times. Lovely Woodburn and comfortable chairs dotted around. We intend to book again soon.
The cottage is beautiful. Very well maintained and spotless. The owners Judith and Andre were really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend a stay at the college. It is a perfect place to relax in after a bust day exploring the area.
Everyone was very polite and cheerful. We had a wonderful stay. The staff were so attentive the hotel itself was lovely and our room was super. The food was a very high standard. Beccles is a lovely little town we cannot wait to return
Hotel was really clean and very cosy.
We stayed in Eln, which was a lovely room and a nice size with a large bathroom/wet room. The decor was amazing.
Staff were brilliant, really accommodating and very friendly.
It was absolutely immaculate. Very thoughtfully decorated and equipped, and scrupulously clean.
It was lovely to stay somewhere that was obviously so cared for.
Also handy for the charms of a Beccles and the Broads.
Beautiful property, everything we needed was there and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely, secluded location and easy to get to various locations plus a lovely walk down the river to Beccles
Lovely quiet hotel beside the water.
Friendly staff. Large bedroom and en suite. The food was excellent served on piping hot plates! Could not fault it
