A wonderful holiday as always and the team and Barnes couldn't have been more helpful. Omega was a lovely craft, with so many good points, but we did feel that the facilities on board were slightly showing signs of her age, although this didn't deter from our experience too much. We will be back again very soon....

Good experience. From phone booking, boat attendant and the boats themselves. One thing would like to see is a discount when booking for a full day if booking late for the same day. Have to pay for full day even if can only do 6. Other firms do this. But al in all a very good experience!

The booking process was very simple. Unfortunately we had to change our booking, I contacted Barnes Brinkcraft to check what I needed to do. They made the changes for us the same day. Very helpful and professional.

Every thing was brilliant but the smell from the toilet was awful! We went to pottery higham and had it pumped out! We also bought a chemicals that’s for boats and thst didn’t help ! It made me feel sick and kept heaving every time I needed to go ! It stuck the boat out even if you just had a wee ! Won’t go on that boat again Was out second year with the same boat , can’t remember it being thst bad last year !

Hi Janet - I am so sorry to read this. It really should not smell like that. We would have advised the pump out but if it still smelt we would have dealt with it whilst you were on holiday

Excellent service and brilliant set up at the marina. All very easy and made for a great start to a fantastic weekend. The only thing I would say about Merrymore 1 is it would be good to have 2 fold away stools onboard as you can’t seat 8 on the sofas.

Booking was easy, the staff helpful, friendly and approachable. Only qualm was that we found the boat steering was inconsistent. Will definitely be using Barnes again 😄
