“Waveney Inn & Hotel struck me as a particularly well-considered base for exploring the Norfolk Broads; the thoughtful refurbishment extends to accessible rooms, while the indoor pool offers year-round appeal. The on-site restaurant emphasizes local sourcing, and I noticed that the proximity to the pedestrian ferry opens up easy access to the Carlton Marshes wildlife site. From what I've gathered, this is a place that balances relaxation with the chance to get outdoors.”
