We hired a day boat, and had a brilliant day out on the Broads. The boat was an electric boat and was very easy to drive and manover

The house was incredibly clean and the whole operation was very well organised. We loved the complementary day boat hire too. The top floor bedrooms were very hot and only limited ventillation was possible.

We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found everything clean and well organised. It's great to hear the complimentary day boat was a welcome bonus too. The recent spell of hot weather was certainly warmer than we're used to, so we completely understand your comments about the upstairs bedrooms. We hope to welcome you back again soon. All the best, The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft

The service and overall experience was excellent. I have three comments on the Electra. Firstly, our boat made a fairly nasty graunching noise at full throttle. Secondly, the enclosed cabin lacka any ventilation which on a super-hot sunny day like today makes it very uncomfortable for the driver. Thirdly the plastic sheet that folds over the instrument panel, when folded back, reflects the sun in a way that it can make it quite difficult to see where you are going. It needs an anti-reflective surface on the under side.

Thank you for the review, Julian. We're really pleased you enjoyed your day overall, and we appreciate you taking the time to share such helpful feedback. We'll pass your comments about the noise, ventilation and dashboard cover on to our engineering team. The recent hot weather certainly highlighted a few things that aren't normally so noticeable, and feedback like yours helps us continue to improve. All the best, The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft

Boat was great had a fantastic weekend. only issue was upon arrival. Was told someone would come to us in 15mins. But wasn’t told to go to office and register so hour later went to office to find this out 🤷. Have used Brinkcraft before would use you again👍
