This hotel is unique in that, apart from the excellent rooms and service, I think it would be difficult to find a place anywhere with such lovely views of a river, a harbour and scenery that is picture postcard beautiful.

The Wherry Hotel for one night

The hotel and its facilities are adequate but a bit dated. Food was average but good value for money. Outlook over the Broad is fantastic and makes the venue very special. The last remaining fried egg at breakfast was not cuttable without special tools. On request it was quickly replaced with two new ones which were perfect (don't wait for the request next time)

Good, but not as good as it used to be

We've stayed at the Wherry many times. The bar and restaurant are still great and the staff are still friendly. The room we stayed in (106) shouldn't really be used for guests. It's poorly laid out and looks very tired, and there is a constant noise from the kitchen below. It also feels as if the takeover by Red Cat has led to a reduction in staff and some irritating 'economy hotel' measures, such as having to ask for your room to be serviced (which we weren't told when we arrived). Standards are definitely on the slide over the last couple of years, but we'll definitely stay again.

Unfortunately there just weren't enough staff! Waited almost 20 minutes to be served at the bar ordering food and drinks in the evening - seemed just one member of staff taking orders, payment, making coffees and then taking them to tables before coming back to the bar. Breakfast was disgusting! Over an hour's wait from ordering (which also took ages same as previous night). I ordered bacon, tomatoes and hash brown, plus toast. What arrived were two slices of very burnt toast with bacon on, on one plate, and tomatoes and hash brown on burnt toast on another plate! Confusion all round. My husband's toast arrived already buttered - not in triangles unbuttered as most places serve - and equally as burnt. The toast was inedible and we left it. The lovely lady serving the breakfast was doing her best but there only seemed to be two staff on and we were told one chef. It's a shame because we have stayed in the past and had lovely meals, but they really need to get the staffing issues sorted. The room itself was lovely, clean, beautiful view and location but it's a shame that the bar and restaurant experiences completely spoiled our stay.

The hotel was excellent. It had a lovely bar and dinning area and staff were good. thumbs down for the bedroom it was tired and no bigger than a large broom cupboard. I particularly did not like seeing a naked man in the room opposite my window. I would say you would get a better room in one of the cheaper hotel chains.
