We've done 12 (I think) Norfolk Broads holidays since 1976. The Broads are special, idyllic, and any number of superlatives you can think of. So even though we now live five thousand miles away in America, after five wonderful years stationed at RAF Mildenhall from 1975 to 1980, we will reuturn again and again to the Broads. We've hired our boats from many different companies over the years but Barnes Brinkcraft is simply the best of the best. --Major John L. Samuelson, USAF, Retired--

My 20th year of holidaying with Barnes Brinkcraft! We have stayed in all types of their accommodation, always comfy beds, spotless and welcoming. I have travelled all over the world but nothing is as relaxing and fun as a trip to the Broads. Day boat such a bonus and absolutely everything you need can be found in Roy’s! Love it!

The staff in the reception and out on site were all amazing. The dayboat that came with the property was a great addition. We had a small problem with the heating but one phone call and the chap (sorry, cant remember names) came out straight away on Christmas eve to fix it. We have booked again for next year. Loved it.

Very helpful boatyard staff. Easy check-in in the past. Boats of a high standard and in the small chance of a problem, staff react quickly.

Been with you twice previously and the boats and team are excellent. If only you could work on the booking IT experience it's not the best. Very frustrating viewing a bout and returning to the boat menu it shoots back to the top of the listing. Apart from that I couldn't fault any service from our previous vists 5 Star. Look forward to meeting up Regards N Harper
