12 of us booked for a special cream tea and presumed we would be in the Crooked Barn as advised, but we were crammed into the pre dinner reception room. We had to eat from coffee tables and of our laps which was not easy. They produced the scones & tea with cream & jam before we had all arrived.... More

We returned to this beautiful hotel at short notice, the weather did make the stay more relaxing. We were really looking forward to some well cooked meals, and we were not disappointed, in fact the food was better than last year. The hotel staff are always willing to assist in anything you require, and the dog also gets a doggy... More

Myself and my partner had dinner at the crooked barn restaurant on site at this hotel in January 2012 and everything about the experience was shocking. the place from the outside looks nice but the restaurant is plain, empty, dated and has absolutely no atmosphere or ambience other than a ghost town. the hotel/restaurant is owned by a husband and...

Stayed here on their stay and dine deal. Excellent value for money. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable and warm (we stayed on probably the coldest night of the year). We also ate in the Crooked Barn Restaurant attached to the hotel. The food was very good and considering that the restaurant was full, the service very good. We... More

We have stayed here once and also eaten in the restaurant on a seperate occasion. The rooms are lovely, The food really tasty, the staff really helpful and friendly. The winter jolly rate of £99.00 per person for 2 nights half board makes this a bargain.

Stayed there recently on one of their deals which also included a 2 course meal in the evening. We upgraded to one of their larger garden rooms. The room itself was very big and included a seperate shower and bath in the bathroom.Tea and coffee making facilities were in the room and bottles of water were provided. The hotel is... More

We made a last minute booking at the Ivy House after reading the positive reviews on tripadvisor as great weather was forecast and we got a a really good rate £130.00 for 1 night which included a 3 course dinner, bed and breakfast. When we arrived we were shown to a massive room with a lovely bathroom and small lounge... More

This is a ‘pricey’ hotel and because of that we expected a good room - which we got. We expected good attention but one member of staff didn’t make a good impression! We also expected excellent evening meals but on both of the nights we stayed we found the main courses very disappointing. We spent Friday and Saturday night at... More

Stayed here recently on business. What can you say, very good. Friendly staff, very helpful. Surroundings are brilliant. Stayed in a garden view room, lovely. The Crooked Barn restaurant is very good, food excellent and the staff couldn't do enough for you. Booked to stay here again at the end of the month. The stroll into Oulton Broad around the... More
