We have stayed here many times but this visit was under par. The water in the shower/bath was warm. Several of the toiletries had been used but left. Noticed breakfast menu has been scalled down.

Lovely riverside inn!
Lovely pub right in the river. Parking tricky as shared between two pubs and the public and almost impossible at certain times of day during the summer. But free. We stayed 4 nights in total, and while the rate wasn’t cheap for the class of room, given the time of year and location was fair value. Breakfast was astonishingly good value and enormous! We ate in the pub all 4 evenings and dinner portions similarly huge and fair value for the area. Good quality, and one minor issue with undercooked fries was dealt with quickly and efficiently. The rest of our meals were really tasty and enjoyable. I’d recommend this pub quite highly - it’s a good area and aside from the slightly tricky parking, we had a very enjoyable stay in the area.

Great dog friendly place to stay on the river
Great dog friendly location to watch the water of the Broads go by as our room faced full length windows providing many hors of entertainment watching the gees, swans and sunsets. Would have been good to know that to get to our room we had a climb of 12 external steps which was a bit of a challenge with cases and our pup but well worth kt when you got there. The menu is extensive so would suit most tastes, they even have a 'real' wood fired pizza oven that fires up each morning. All food is fresh and made to order so could take a little time as The Rising Sun is popular with locals and tourists alike but well worth the wait. The only problem with breakfast and with all the meals - they are big! ( not a problem for some ) Plenty of parking although it can get busy at times but we always found a space. As well as the outside seating there are also dog friendly tables inside if the weather is not so good. Definitely the place to stay when in the area

A lovely place for a short break.
A lovely spot on the river. Room was perfect, staff were very friendly, food and drink was superb. Not far from the station at Wroxham where we parked for free and took the train for a day in Sheringham.

Great find!
Overall a lovely stay, fantastic spot right on the river front. Large family room was great and very spacious but could have been cleaner, lots of dust & cobwebs! Food was absolutely fantastic, we ate in the restaurant 3 evenings and every meal was excellent. We were well looked after and the staff were brilliant. Would recommend.

A cosy and welcoming riverside stay
Cosy riverside pub with very comfortable rooms, outstanding breakfast, and 10/10 service. I arrived late after a work event and even though the kitchen had closed, was still sorted with dinner. A beautiful setting to boot.
