Karen, it sounds like you had a lovely afternoon on the Broads. We're pleased the boat suited you all, including the two little dogs, and that the route suggestions helped you make the most of your time on the water. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing cruise soon. All the best, The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft

“The staff were helpful and polite. The boat itself - Picnic, was perfect for what we wanted. Cooking is doable, especially making a brew. The only think I didn’t take was washing up liquid- cooking bacon made it hard to wash my hands after handling raw meat! Great day out and really useful having the toilet on board.”

Sarah, we're so pleased Picnic was just what you were looking for and that you had a great day on the water. A proper brew and a bacon butty always taste better on the Broads! We hope to welcome you back for another day out soon. All the best, The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft

“The electric boats radically improve the experience over the older diesel boats. We were able to get close to some really special wildlife.. not possible in a diesel. Definitely going again soon!”

“Just booked our 2nd visit to Barnes Brinkcraft. We are staying in the Mallard chalet . We stayed in it last year and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The chalet was spotlessly clean and well maintained The view across the river from the balcony and lawn was great for sitting and watching the river traffic and wildlife. We saw an otter ln the river , deer on the far bank and various birds and waterfowl. My son in law even caught a decent sized pike whilst fishingon the lawn. The included day boat was the icing on the cake.”

John, it's wonderful to hear you're coming back to stay with us again. It sounds like you made the most of Mallard last time, and spotted lots of wildlife. We're delighted you've booked another stay, and we hope this year's visit is every bit as memorable. All the best, The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft

“Staff excellent, Boat Fridge door would not shut properly, Canopy twisted big fat around right hand side roof lets water in. Bedroom door would not shut properly. Pulled bed out and could not open fridge door. And the underside of the cushions that you take out hade sharp objects that cut my finger. The boat is ready for some tidying up. We would go with you again but never on that boat .”
