On arrival at the Barnes Brinkcraft there is always a cheerful greeting, which starts off the holiday perfectly. I have always found the staff are willing to go out of the way to assist me with any issues or additional requests. The apartments have always been spotlessly clean and the welcome pack is fabulous. My stays with Barnes Brinkcraft has always been in the winter, for the fishing and after 14-15 stays there i can honestly say the service has never altered, always great.

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!
