Waveney River Centre Reviews

Nice time away

Had a great night away. Very quiet and chilled, very small camping site. Nice swimming pool, lovely restaurant/ bar. All staff very helpful. Will be nice to go back when the weather is warmer. The park could do with upgrading with a little more for the kids to do.

Peaceful stay

In spite of the weather, in which we had every season thrown at us, we had a lovely stay. The Kingfisher pitches overlook the marina and river and are very peaceful. The facilities were spotless. It was nice to have a bathroom cubicle for showering. We ate at the Waveney Inn for one evening and the food and service was very good. There's also a little store for supplies. The Inn is only open at this time in the season Fri - Tues. The swimming pool can be booked in 45 min slots at the reception. The approach to the site is along a single track lane with passing places - this could be problem if people tried to arrive earlier than requested so time your arrival accordingly.

Lovely clean site and very peaceful

Extremely peaceful place. Toilets and showers are clean and good. Wash up area is well set up. The pub was nice staff friendly and helpful. Only downside was the wind, with no ferries running to The Marshes. Will come again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review, Gareth. We are sorry that due to the wind, the ferry couldn't operate, however the safety of our guests and staff is of paramount importance. We hope to welcome you back to Waveney River Centre again soon, when there is less wind of course! :) Warm regards, WRC Team.

Great location, clean and everything on site within walking range

Lovely and quiet, perfect view, food perfect and having a games room for the little one (and big one, partner that is) was a bonus. The view was amazing. Service was great from the reception to the bar and meal and the swimming pool reception. I loved the fact that you can have a shower in your own room instead of having multiple cubicles. All round a fab park and will be coming back again.

Customer service was amazing!

Lovely pool which is bookable. Lovely restaurant. The marina is very beautiful. Gave us a late checkout so we could spend the day here. All staff members went out of their way for us.

Small and peaceful site with a fabulous view!

Just stayed at Waveney River Centre for 5 nights in our caravan on one of the fully serviced Kingfisher pitches. It's in such a lovely elevated position overlooking the marina and the River Waveney. There are loos and a wash-up room close to the pitches and shower rooms with WC a short walk away. And a lovely little indoor swimming pool. The facilities were all lovely and clean and the showers were nice and hot. The Waveney Inn on site was great to sit and have a drink and the food was really good - a steak from the specials board was probably the best I've had anywhere! There's a small shop in the Inn too to pick up essentials. The lanes coming into the site are single-track and tight but there are passing places and it's not very far. We were a bit unlucky and met a tractor coming the other way so had to reverse with the caravan a few yards until the farmer turned into a field. Slightly worrying but we just saw it as part of the adventure! All the staff were lovely and friendly and really helpful. I honestly can't fault this site. We will definitely be back!

Great find

Great find. Lovely location with nicely spaced pitches over looking the marina, river and marshes. Onsite facilities were very clean and tidy. All staff were very friendly and helpful particularly with dietary requirements. Short ferry ride gave access to marshes, which was great for us birdwatches. Phil, the ferry operator, gave us all information we needed so no worries about getting the ferry back. Definitely go again. The play equipment for the children was great, but would be good to have a baby swing so little ones could join in fun.

Easter break

Very disappointed with the state of the pool and changing rooms. Very dirty and very wet changing rooms. Broken facilities in the ladies changing rooms. Shower and toilets on site were ok and always warm, which was nice. Toilets very clean too. Difficult to book swimming at convenient times.

We are sorry that you were disappointed with some aspects of your stay, Lorraine, though thank you for taking the time to write to us. We welcome all feedback as it allows for us to make the appropriate improvements where necessary. Warm Regards, WRC Team.

Lovely site and facilities

Stayed for 3 nights over the Easter weekend and had a lovely time. We had pitch Heron1, which was ample size for my Transit camper and awning, and was nice and flat. The facilities on site were lovely and clean with plenty of hot water. We used the swimming pool 3 times which was a good temperature for our little one and lovely and clean. We ate in the pub twice and was very satisfied with the quality and price. Keep up the great work we and will definitely be back.

Lovely for short break

Lovely long weekend over Easter. Toilet and showers were nice and clean, great swimming pool and lovely views over small marina. Small quiet site, nice restaurant, games room and bar. Singer on Sunday afternoon. Only downside is tiny one vehicle lane in and out of site, which was tight with caravan. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Great site

Really enjoyed our stay at the campsite. Nice, clean indoor pool. Staff really friendly, food at pub decent too. Facilities generally good with under floor heating in the showers which is a nice touch. Nice view of the river which is lovely to wake up to. Would definitely revisit, preferably when weather a bit warmer and then we can participate in some of the many water sports.

Lovely spot

The park was lovely. The on site pool was very clean and warm. The toilets / showers were really clean. The only downside was that all the pitches appear to be grass so it was quite muddy. We would definitely stay again but only in the warmer, dryer months.

Best stay ever.

We stayed here for 3 nights in our motorhome. I must say the showers were the best we've ever had, and the restaurant was good too. Would recommend this site to anyone. We also hired out a boat for the day too as it was our anniversary so we thought we would push the boat out lol !!

Great hidden gem

Hidden down narrow country lanes is this magic site. Nice pitches overlooking the river and the boats. Good facilities including a swimming pool. A short ferry trip across the water provides miles of walking through a huge nature reserve and enables you to walk to Oulton Broad or Lowerstoft. Will visit again soon

Water sports haven

I would recommend this park to anybody who loves water sports! It was great to be down by the river.
