“Couldn’t believe how hard the 5 crew worked to look after 21 people. Always friendly and smiling. Fab food from a small kitchen. How did Miles do that? Delightful fellow guests. Loved it.”

“We enjoyed the cruise very much the crew were exceptional and to have Richard the owner carry you bags on board proved everyone gets involved. One point about the cabin two A/C outlet point one over each bed would be great. Thank you to a great crew.”

“As a single traveller one of the best cruises I have been on. Clean and comfortable cabin with a very comfortable bed, slept like a log, good imaginative food, beautifully served, and a very friendly helpful crew. The River Severn is quiet and restful and I came home feeling completely refreshed.”

“Great ship, excellent crew - nothing was too much trouble for them. Lovely relaxing time cruising down the river with all trips included in the price with transport provided if more than 500 yards! Miles the chef was great, catering for all dietary needs, including my dislike of fish so I was offered alternatives. How lovely meals came out of that small kitchen was incredible. Home made cake for afternoon tea was really tasty and light. One last word for the crew - they were all lovely, friendly and ready for a laugh. The cruise is more for, shall we say, the mature person!”

“A wonderful relaxing voyage with good, attentive crew. Everything worked like clockwork. The meals were excellent. The onshore tours showed a part of the country not known to us and the Captain's commentary, with his local knowledge, added some colour. Many thanks.”

“Thank you for a very enjoyable relaxing holiday for our 60th Wedding Anniversary. It was remarkable to see how the crew members worked so very well together, as a team, to make the trip special for all of us. Thanks too for the 'Captain' who made sure we were safe at all times. Hope to see you again next year. Yvonne and Cliff Furniss”

“We had a really lovely break. The itinerary had to be changed at the last moment due to the weather but the trip was superb. The crew could not have been any friendlier or more helpful and the food was excellent. If you haven't tried it go, if you have been you will want to go again”

“Despite the constant rain and inevitable change of itinerary, we had a most enjoyable week.Where we could not sail, we were taken by coach, and well informed in advance. On board, we were fed to a very high standard, and dietary needs absorbed into the menu. All the crew were extremely helpful and friendly, and worked very hard. If only the sun had shone more often, things would have been perfect.ikj”

“We couldn't have had a more cohesive and happy crew. Neither flood nor sickness failed to make a dent in their determination to give us the best holiday experience that circumstances permitted. A happy boat!”

“Although the river was not on our side. We had a fantastic holiday. We did all that we should have only in the wrong order. The crew could not have more helpful, they were there when you wanted them and had all the answers. They were all very cheerful and helped one another when necessary. Very hard working under difficult circumstances. Thanks to all.”

“The weather was awful, and the accompanying floods played havoc with the programme. However, the staff reacted quickly and efficiently, arranging coach trips to alternative venues (or alternative routes). Their nifty footwork and cheery disposition saved the holiday.”

“We enjoyed it very much. We felt that the skipper & crew were excellent and very hard-working, very friendly and helpful. Although small, the cabins were extremely well-designed and provided everything we needed. We found the cruise to be very relaxing with lovely scenery and wildlife. We had a very well thought-out itinerary with interesting activities and shore visits.”
