“Booking process and follow-up emails are clear and concise.
On arrival, there was a friendly greeting and also on the ocassion we went to reception about an issue it was dealt with effectively”
“My 4th time with Barnes having last tried a competitor who I shall not name. My return to Barnes says it all. The boat (Serenade 3) was spotless in collection and ready early. We had a fantastic holiday.”
Thank you Duncan - for both the review (we are blushing a bit here) and the picture
We hope to see you again soon
Kind regards,
The Barnes Brinkcraft Team
“We were a party of 4 , on Concerto 1
, the boat is older and was well used, a little snug , and a little tatty in places.
There were one or two problems to be made to boat yard.. relatively easy fixes , ??
none of that stopped us from enjoying our holiday, the scenery was beautiful, plus we saw several kingfishers ,beautiful houses and a few ducks and geese , not forgetting the magnificent swans. No coots or more hens though?
Would do it again”
Hi Cathie
Thank you so much for your 5⭐ review! We’re really pleased you had a great time on the Broads and spotted so much wildlife – those kingfishers are something special. Concerto 1 is one of our mid-range cruisers and, after a busy season, she’ll be getting a good spruce-up ready for 2026. Thanks again for choosing Barnes Brinkcraft – we’d love to welcome you back aboard soon!
All the best,
The Barnes Brinkcraft Team
“We have used the facilites at the boatyard during our holiday recently on the Broads and also in previous years. The staff have always been pleasant and accommodating.
W decided to book our next Broads holiday with Barnes Brinkcraft because of this. The staff who dealt with my phone booking were very good and professional and dealt with my booking promptly.
We lookforward to seeing you next August.”
“Our family had a fantastic holiday staying at Barnes Brinkcraft in the holiday home Waterside, it has ample space and very comfortable, with the added bonus of a day boat so we could explore and enjoy part of the Norfolk Broads waterways.”
“Friendly and attentive staff where nothing was too small to deal with. Comprehensive overview of the boat. Swift attention to a small fault on the boat. Overall a pleasant and relaxing holiday. Thank you.”
“Excellent service from collection to returning .very clean sundeck thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and so did our 3 dogs .

Loads of room on these boats - and easy access on 3 sides

“A last minute booking with probably my favourite holiday company. I have been booking with Barnes Brinkcraft for 20 years, probably stayed in all their accommodation. I love it, the setting, the boat, the very spacious and comfortable accommodation, the team who have always been helpful, friendly and caring....oh and the wonderful hamper! It's all a magic combination! Thank you team BB!”
“Fantastic service every time we are currently on a boat (Royall Satin) and just booked again for April. The staff are fantastic last time taken out by Connor and this time Jack both so knowledgeable wouldn't book with anyone else thanks so much.”
“We have had Holidays for a few years with you staying in the cottages and also boats; we have received lovely hampers when booking, this year we went with a different company as what we would have liked with you was not available and we didn't have a great experience with breakdowns that were avoidable had checks been carried out sufficiently.
We have booked this for next year and my daughter and her partner have also made a booking with one of your boats too.
We won't go elsewhere anymore 😊”
“Excellent service. Great property, spotlessly clean. Fab hamper. Day boat was such fun. We had a brilliant time and was our second visit. Will definitely be back again!”
