That's lovely to hear, Laurie, thank you. Choosing your first boat can feel like a big decision, so we're really pleased the website helped you find the right one with confidence.
We hope you have a fantastic time on the Broads.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“We had a great holiday but the boat was not as described. The floor plan was very misleading. Two of the “double” beds were not suitable for 2 people. None of us are large so I don’t know how anyone bigger than us would have managed.”
Dear Jan
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re pleased to hear that you had a great holiday overall. We’re sorry, however, that the sleeping arrangements were not as you expected.
Your booking was made through Hoseasons, whose listing does not currently include the same level of detail and photography as our own website. On our website, we show the actual sleeping areas and explain that some berths may be undersized and unsuitable for an all-adult party, asking guests to check with us before booking if berth size is particularly important.
That said, we appreciate that the floor plan gave you a different impression of the double berths. We will review this with Hoseasons and look at how the layout and sleeping arrangements can be described more clearly, so future guests can make a fully informed choice. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Best Wishes
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“We had a terrific day out on the river - very helpful staff and smashing electric boat… the suggested timings and itinerary were perfect.
Many thanks!”
“We made our booking by telephone and the lady we spoke was so helpful and gave some great advice. The whole booking process was easy and the e mails were sent promptly with confirmation etc. We look forward to our holiday with you soon.”
Thank you for the lovely review. We're pleased the booking process was straightforward and that our team could help you choose the right holiday.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard very soon.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“Generally we were happy with the boat and the booking process.
My only minor piece of feedback would be on communication when arriving and departing the boat yard. An explanation on the process would have been really useful. We were left a little bit in limbo trying understand where to go and who to see. When returning I visited the reception 3x to finalise the boats return, deposit return etc.
A simple explanation with clear direction or even a staff member allocated to our party for 15 minutes would have resolved this.
Great trip and generally really satisfied. Thank you”
Thanks for the review. We're really pleased you enjoyed your trip overall, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Your comments about arriving and returning are really helpful, and we'll pass them on to the team. A clearer explanation can make all the difference, especially at the start and end of a holiday.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“1st time on the boats, we had a great time would highly recommend , arrived earlier than what I had booked so was aloud to go out earlier which was good as we travelled for an hour
Thank you”
“We had a wonderful day on a beautiful quiet new electric boat Sunshine 3.
Very professional staff and well looked after boats. Would highly recommend and I'm sure we will be back”
Thanks for the lovely review, Tamsin. We're so pleased you enjoyed your day aboard Sun Shine 3. Quiet cruising on an electric boat is a lovely way to experience the Broads.
“We had a great experience using Barnes Brinkcraft. Handover was efficient, craft was clean, small welcome package was a lovely touch. Would happily recommend.”
Thanks for the lovely review, Fiona. We're pleased everything got you off to a smooth start, and it's nice to hear the welcome pack was appreciated too.
All the best,
