5 Thurne River Lodge Houseboat

Excellent water based place for exploring the broads Positive: Floating on the water

Really nice stay olny downside we had a rowing boat which had water in it and no oars

Lovely stay, no complaints.

Positive: Lovely location and nice accommodation. Negative: All was good .

Pros & Cons Positive: Just had 2 nights here in house boat number 5, got a few pros and cons, first with the pros, location is lovely, theres a pub next door which is good, the novelty of staying in a house boat on the river is fun, fully equipped kitchen with all cutlery and utensils, plenty of parking, self check in was easy Negative: Now for the cons, the lodge itself could of been cleaner, there was beard hair on the cooker, and lodge just needed a better deep clean in general, the kettle had an unbelievable amount of limescale inside, was thick white with limescale, the toilet in our houseboat (number 5) was broken both the lid and the seat, the mattress in the main bedroom wasn't very comfortable, it was an old soft spring mattress with not enough support for my back, others may find it ok though? The internet speed is only 3-5mb so if you have more than 2 people watching youtube expect buffering, was just barely usable for whats app and browsing google (amazon firestick kept buffering) finally you can hire a small rowing boat for £50 which i thought was quite expensive for what they are, £25 would be much more reasonable, overall was just a little bit tired and run down.
