Family and friends enjoyed a few days in Top Sail. The accomodation was well equipped throughout and very comfortable. Location means you have the option of some great days out around the area or just watching the world go by along the river. The added bonus of free use of a day-boat was brilliant, which we made good use of during our stay. First world problem given we had access to 4 showers, but some additional pressure to the 2 showers on the top floor would have made hair-washing a little more straightforward ;)

Had a fantastic day on the broads thanks to Barnes Brinkcraft. I hired a picnic boat for the day. Boat was well equipped for our needs and the I received all of the instructions I needed. Iโ€™m already looking forward to going back next year!

We had a great time aboard Rhapsody in the October half term. The Boat was very clean upon pick up and fully equiped with good bedding and all kitchen utensils in a very clean state. We called the yard once at the very beginning of our 5 day trip as we were cocerned that we had no heating and they explained what we needed to switch on and that it could take up to 15 minutes and sure enough it was pumping out lovely warm air which was needed for the October evenings. We had no issues with either toilets and the boat ran very smoothly both in Hybrid and generator mode when needed to charge up the battery. Staff were great on check in and boat handover. I would sugest that if you are not sure on anything mechanical whilst cruising then phone the engineers as that is what they are there for and dont wait to complain when you arrive back and its too late for them to reciify. Thankfiully we had no such issues but its reasuring to know that if needed they will drive to where you are moored to fix.

We really enjoyed our half term break in Crested Grebe. The boat was a fantastic bonus, as was the hamper for a returuning customer. Everything was clean, well organised and having a shower room each was great. Highly recommended

Our family of 4 have just returned home from a fantastic few days staying in Greylag Goose Cottage and have had such a lovely stay. The accommodation has everything you could possibly need and itโ€™s perfectly located in a beautiful spot. All local amenities are within a few minutes yet it is peaceful and quiet with beautiful views of the marina. Our boys tried fishing right outside the cottage and we made full use of the boat that was included with the booking, easily navigating the local waterways and visiting the pub in nearby Horning. We 100% will book again, easy booking in, very clean well maintained property and an all round perfect experience. Loved the enclosed patio area, making it even safer for our children and small dog! Thank you Barnes Brinkcraft and all your lovely team!

Booking process very easy, was a little disappointed that we had to return to the boat yard to get more gas, only hired the Belmore for 3 days so Iโ€™m guessing this should have not happened, lost few hours in doing so as we were up against the clock with darkness beconing,

Been with BarnesBrinkscraft on numerous occasions.Online booking process very easy. When i have had to contact Barnesbrinkcraft while on holiday ,any issues were dealt with quickly. Found they would try to accommadate any special requests, not always possible , but you appreciate them trying. For Broads holidays ,whether boating or in a cottage ,find them to be highly competitive pricing, and there cottages do come with a dayboat outside school holidays ;which is an extra bous
