About Wherry Hotel

Lowestoft's Oulton Broad forms the backdrop to the Wherry Hotel, set on Bridge Road with views over the water that guests regularly single out as a highlight of staying here. The town's beaches and the Maritime Museum are both within easy reach, making the hotel a convenient base for exploring the Suffolk coast.

The hotel has 31 rooms and is equipped with a lift, so access isn't an issue for those unable to use stairs. Public spaces include a restaurant and bar, and breakfast is served on-site. Free WiFi is available throughout, and there's a garden for guests to enjoy the broadside setting. The restaurant runs a carvery with a good range of meats and vegetables, though some have found the food arrives less hot than they'd like.

Staff are consistently described as friendly and attentive, and the hotel is felt to offer solid value for money. It also operates as a wedding venue, with porter services and luggage storage on hand for guests. Free on-site parking is provided, which is useful given the location just off Bridge Road.

Fantastic experience at this hotel. Food was lovely in the evening. Very family friendly. We were staying on a boat in the harbour, fancied a coffee at 7am. They were open, very friendly and happy to serve a coffee early in the morning. Asked if I could buy some toast for my baby as he was hungry, only charged me £1. Very lovely, couldn’t recommend enough

I only went on a Monday evening for a catchup with a friend. We had a couple of drinks from their good selection of local beers. The service was excellent. The indoor seating was very comfortable and you could hold a conversation easily from the background noise. The view outside on a hot summer day with the sun going down was beautiful. I have not been there before but will definitely be going back. Taking the wife next time.

Attended one a many of the Wherry events last night. The staff are always so friendly. There was a two course sit down preordered meal. The staff served the delicious food efficiently. They're mega busy but always friendly and smiling and they never look hassled... Always professional. When collecting empty plates our beautiful waitress had time to have a giggle with us. (I complained the trillionaires was to small... Lol it was a big slice but I love it and was being cheeky) There was no waiting between the plates being collected and the sweets coming out. All staff here are fantastic and friendly... Highly recommended.... No 5 star, they need a 10....!!!

We love coming here, especially for a carvery, and staff are always so welcoming and friendly. Both Ryan and Lara who served us were so lovely and friendly, a perfect definition of what customer service is!! And can I just say, the lemon meringue was so light, perfect for after a big meal, and the crumble was absolutely lush!! Always recommend coming here if you’re looking for a fantastic carvery!!!!
