Great team and boat. Departure was 230pm after tour around the boat. Easy hand over process, better than Herbert woods. During week no issues with boat and spoke to help desk several times and got answered within seconds. All great. Return hand over very slick. Even allowing us to back up the car to off load was great. Thanks- we’ve booked again for next year already!

No problem's at all. Boat was ready for us as soon as we arrived, Same boat we had last year so we knew what to expect and we were not disapointed. We have used this company for a few years now and never had any problems, All straght forward and pleasant to deal with.

All to plan. Uncomfortable seat angle.Difficult forward vision through metal frame of windscreen. In 0ver60 years of boat hire never had no possibility of forward mooring rope being used. Very enjoyable day otherwise. Friendly very helpful boatyard assistant on day.

Very well organised, staff super friendly & efficient & dealt with our late change of booking with sympathy & no fuss. Handover of the boat & transfer of stuff on board was again well planned & made it very easy for us oldies. Felt reassured that our holiday would be well managed. Would like to see a little more consideration to environment in terms of eco washing up liquid, etc. Other than that a fabulous experience that we would recommend.

This was our 3rd time staying in the lodges and we have had 2 boats as well. We have also booked for next year The staff are always very helpful and make things easy so we can enjoy our break. Having the day boat out of peak season is an added bonus. Thank you to the team at barnes brinkcraft.

As always the experiance with Barns Brinkcraft can only be discribed as as good as can be. We have in the past used other companys, and to be fair, they have all been good. However since using Barnes Brinkcraft we feel we have found the best. Though we are not getting any younger, while we can we will continue so sail ( cruse ) with you, Yours Keith & Sue Woonton. North Yorks.

Really lovely clean accommodation overlooking the river. Plenty of space for us as a family of 6 and the welcome bits (Prosecco, tea & coffee) were really appreciated. Kids loved the day boat, we had a great weekend and will definitely return in the future.
