“Had a fantastic day on the broads thanks to Barnes Brinkcraft. I hired a picnic boat for the day. Boat was well equipped for our needs and the I received all of the instructions I needed. I’m already looking forward to going back next year!”
“We had a great time aboard Rhapsody in the October half term. The Boat was very clean upon pick up and fully equiped with good bedding and all kitchen utensils in a very clean state.
We called the yard once at the very beginning of our 5 day trip as we were cocerned that we had no heating and they explained what we needed to switch on and that it could take up to 15 minutes and sure enough it was pumping out lovely warm air which was needed for the October evenings. We had no issues with either toilets and the boat ran very smoothly both in Hybrid and generator mode when needed to charge up the battery. Staff were great on check in and boat handover. I would sugest that if you are not sure on anything mechanical whilst cruising then phone the engineers as that is what they are there for and dont wait to complain when you arrive back and its too late for them to reciify. Thankfiully we had no such issues but its reasuring to know that if needed they will drive to where you are moored to fix.”
“love this cottage it was very clean and tidy with plentyof kitchen equipment only negative thing was the over the bath shower it was not good .My grandchildren loved the boat and made full use of. it great base to explore norfolk and with Roys just a short distance from the cottage was great for fresh food”
“We really enjoyed our half term break in Crested Grebe. The boat was a fantastic bonus, as was the hamper for a returuning customer.
Everything was clean, well organised and having a shower room each was great.
Highly recommended”
“Our family of 4 have just returned home from a fantastic few days staying in Greylag Goose Cottage and have had such a lovely stay. The accommodation has everything you could possibly need and it’s perfectly located in a beautiful spot. All local amenities are within a few minutes yet it is peaceful and quiet with beautiful views of the marina. Our boys tried fishing right outside the cottage and we made full use of the boat that was included with the booking, easily navigating the local waterways and visiting the pub in nearby Horning. We 100% will book again, easy booking in, very clean well maintained property and an all round perfect experience. Loved the enclosed patio area, making it even safer for our children and small dog! Thank you Barnes Brinkcraft and all your lovely team!”
“Booking process very easy, was a little disappointed that we had to return to the boat yard to get more gas, only hired the Belmore for 3 days so I’m guessing this should have not happened, lost few hours in doing so as we were up against the clock with darkness beconing,”
“We stayed in the 'Main Sail' for 4 nights and absolutely loved it!! Thank you guys for a beautiful stay! Views magical, facilities perfect.
7 of us and plenty of room!
Would 100% reccomend, we will be back!”
“Been with BarnesBrinkscraft on numerous occasions.Online booking process very easy.
When i have had to contact Barnesbrinkcraft while on holiday ,any issues were dealt with quickly.
Found they would try to accommadate any special requests, not always possible , but you appreciate them trying.
For Broads holidays ,whether boating or in a cottage ,find them to be highly competitive pricing, and there cottages do come with a dayboat outside school holidays ;which is an extra bous”

“This is the 4th time we have stay at apartments at barnes brinkcraft. This time we stayed at Heron. Has previous stays the customer service is excellent and friendly, all encounters with members of staff has been of the same standard. Heron was very clean inside and outside the lodge. The interior and garden space very spacious. The bed was comfortable has were the sofas. The kitchen full equipped. The views over daisy broad and basin is so chilled, watching the world go by, seeing people come and go both staff working in the boat yard and holiday makers a like. There plenty of outside seating. First night we wanted to use the oven but the oven door didn’t close properly and didn’t heat up. The following morning we reported it and within 5 minutes somebody had come and fixed it. That was the only minor issue but there responds was excellent. We love coming here, it’s relaxed with everything you need. Unfortunately this time we didn’t use the day boat has I had fractured my collarbone and my wife had injured her knee, but the day boat is a big bonus, which we’ve made use of in the past. Again another great holiday with barnes brinkcraft. We booked heron again for next June.
Thank you from the Fletchers and the very noisy beagle”
Thank you Alan

“Always a pleasant experience to hire a boat from here. If you love the Broads and want another fix, then I can recommend BB for your next trip. Thanks again. A.”
