“Thank you! Our cruise on the Edward Elgar exceeded all our expectations. The comfort of our cabins - small but with everything we needed with very comfortable beds - the most excellent meals, the choice of visit to Slimbridge, the delightful duo who entertained us on Saturday evening, and the welcome by and talents of a wonderfully competent-at-all-things crew were perfect. Every arrangement you had made in these difficult times, and the most impressive standard of cleanliness of everything was very reassuring.”
“We had hoped for an enjoyable break and the trip exceeded our expectations in every way. We felt safe but not over burdened by restrictions, very well looked after, very well fed and appreciated that any request we made was met willingly. Well done everyone.”
“We both loved the ambience, where nothing was too much trouble and the customer came first. The skipper moves through the saloon, sees some used dishes, he clears them! In short, all have the same objectives: to make the customer happy and safe. The boat is immaculate, the food the best we've ever had! We booked another for next year....”
“Brilliant holiday, made all the better by the friendly and attentive crew, nothing was too much trouble for them. Food was fabulous and Steve's local and maritime knowledge was fascinating and Louis can certainly mix a lovely cocktail. Definitely recommend this trip and would book again.”
“The level of service far surpasses anything i was hoping for!
Firstly, Sam was brilliant throughout the booking process and in taking into account any special requirements.
The crew were friendly, attentive and and so efficient, nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a birthday celebration whilst on board and they supplied both a cake and champagne at my request. The food was absolutely stunning - Miles provided delicious freshly cooked meals that were beautifully presented and the portions were spot on.
The accommodation was spot on with the most comfy bed I have ever slept on! Everything was kept extremely clean and very well maintained.
Excursions were well thought out and planned down to the last detail.
This has been the most fantastic experience that was made by an awesome team - you all work so hard and it shows!
Thank you so much for your efforts. We can't wait to travel with you again!”
“I have been impressed with the standard of teamwork, producing an excellent atmosphere for a holiday, albeit very short. Standard of food was excellent.
I will certainly recommend English Holiday Cruises, and hope to see you again sometime.”
“Lovely trip - excellent service, food, trips, entertainment ... in fact everything ideal for a relaxing break. Will certainly recommend it to family and friends.”
“We were really impressed with our cruise, the crew were delightful, friendly yet professional. The food was out of this world. Although the cabin was inevitably small it was well equipped and comfortable. We were particularly impressed with the Covid procedures and the fact that we had been consulted as to our views. Thanks very much.”
“A Watery Wonderland adventure on the lovely Sir Edward Elgar!! Delightful, cosy and clean cabin, fantastic food, enjoyable entertainment, beautiful countryside, great tours and visits and, 'say no more', quoits on the deck!
Nothing was too much for our very friendly and wonderful crew of Captain (Steve); First Mate (Louis); Chef (Miles) and 2 Stewardesses, (Anete and Katie)
Captain Steve liberally sprinkled our journey with well received humour and wit, even when delivering essential but rather dry info such as safety rules, timings etc. An amazing holiday!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH, TO ALL OF YOU INCLUDING YOUR OFFICE STAFF”
“Really enjoyed our cruise aboard the Edward Elgar. Food was very special & service just right unobtrusive , courteous & caring. There we were in close contact with staff each crew member had a great attitude not in your face but not stand-offish, which made for a relaxing time. All staff managed to maintain a good humour in spite of being busy. Great programme of activitiesbut we had to drop out of the castle tour half way -great venue -too much information. Keeping to timetable-brilliant. Lovely quiet nights. MANY THANKS.”
“Fabulous trip. Mainly due to the wonderful weather consequently spent a lot of spare time sitting up top. Food excellent, different cake every day at 4p.m.! Variety of excursions although trying to do a tour of Upton amongst the very busy traffic was not that enjoyable. The crew were helpful, very efficient and great fun.”
“Thank you for a giving us such a relaxing holiday. The brilliant crew make a fantastic team; each of them worked hard and cheerfully to ensure the comfort and convenience of every guest. Ruth & Jamie Barr”
“A very tranquil, restful and stress-free holiday, cared for by a most kind, attentive and professional crew. This more than met our expectations. We were especially grateful for the effort to which Miles went to accommodate our dietary needs.”
“Captain and all crew were excellent, nothing was two much trouble, we had a superb holiday, a real uplift after such terrible time’s of confinement. Thank you 🙏 God Bless.”
