About the pub

A Victorian broadside hotel, now part of the Coaching Inn Group, with a bar, terrace and function room overlooking the water plus a carvery restaurant. Greene King ales have been the tradition here. Dog-friendly rooms and lounge, B&B accommodation and live music make it a comfortable base for exploring the southern rivers.

What visitors tend to say

The terrace over the broad, the carvery and buffet breakfast, and hard-working friendly staff are the recurring compliments, and boaters treat it as a civilised overnight base rather than a quick pint stop.

Nearest hire base: Oulton Broad, the southernmost access point of the Broads.

Guidance Only

Opening hours, food service, mooring charges and mooring condition change often on the Broads. Check with the pub directly before building your day around it, and always read the water on arrival.
