“From the start of the booking process to handing the keys back, Barnes Brinkcaft have been excellent.. No fuss, no hassle, friendly staff and an amazing experience..”
“The pick-up and drop off were excellent. Everything was ready for us and simple to navigate. The trial run was well co-ordinated. The boat was spotlessly clean and everything was in working order. We will definitely use Barnes Brinkcraft again. Brilliant.”
“Booking process was easy. Would benefit from some trip planning ideas, suggested route etc. Got them easily from Copilot/ChatGpt but website would benefit from them.”
“Fantastic experience, and lovely man who gave us a tutorial. Very pleasant and friendly service. Just me and my 8yo son, and we booked online with no issue at all. 2 hrs on the electric boat, exploring the beautiful river and surroundings. My son was over the moon to be trusted to steer the boat, and it was really easy to navigate (aside from my questionable ‘parking’ when we returned!). Wonderful experience, super friendly company. What a great idea!”
“Wonderful day out! Thanks so much, Jack, for explaining the boat to us, and for allowing us a few minutes' grace when we returned the boat. We hugely appreciated your assistance and friendliness and will be back! Easy booking and return. The boat is lovely, easy to navigate, and perfect for beginners like us. Thank you for your help and for making our holiday so memorable.”
“Jules was fabulous, friendly and efficient.
She found us a boat on the dates we needed without any fuss.
Really looking forward to coming down with the family.”
“First time on the Broads - what a great experience! Excellent welcome and explanation of how everything works. Comfortable, quiet boat and beautiful weather. Thanks Barnes Brinkcraft.”
“As usual we are never disappointed with our stays at Barnes Brinkcraft. This time we stayed in Riverview. Accommodation very clean and comfortable. Only suggestion would be some shelving in the bathrooms as nowhere to put any toiletries at all. Have been coming here for 22 years and will definitely be back.”
“Spacious lodge with lots of equipment and having the access to our neighbouring lodge Grebe was perfect. Also use of the dayboat was a bonus. Staff in reception and support staff great.”
Thanks for the lovely review — and for the photo too, it really showed off just how good that riverside view can be. Having both lodges together is ideal for larger groups, especially when everyone wants to holiday together without being on top of each other the whole time.
We’re pleased the day boat helped make the stay even better, and we’ll make sure your kind comments are passed on to the reception and support teams.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“A great day's boat hire and conveniently located to explore the broads. We took a trip to The Lion for lunch after a quick stop along the suggested route to grab a coffee. Staff friendly and boat exactly as expected. We managed to get two of the parking spaces in their free car park.”
We’re really pleased you enjoyed your time on the water. We’ll pass your kind comments on to the team as well, and we’re glad everything helped you feel confident before setting off.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“Had a wonderful day out on an electric boat. Suited 5 adults perfectly & cannot fault the service we received. Would certainly recommend Barns Brinkcraft without hesitation.”
