“What a lovely boat. The space within was ample and the facilities were more than adequate. It was extremely easy to manoeuvre and the automatic mud weight made life onboard much easier. The onboard free WiFi meant we had internet access at all times and for the first time ever we had a great signal on the TV's both in the main saloon and bedroom,and loads of channels to watch in the evenings. We would definitely book this boat again.”
Lovely to hear Quartet worked so well for you, Rebecca. It’s great that you found her easy to handle, and the automatic mud weight certainly takes some of the work out of mooring up.
Good to hear the WiFi and TV reception behaved themselves too! We’d be delighted to welcome you back aboard Quartet.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
“This boat is perfect for 2 couples. We had a lovely time the weather was just right. I went with my daughter and her partner. She used to go every year as she grew up and it help lovely memories of when my mum and dad used to go with us.”
How lovely to be making new memories on the Broads while remembering those family holidays from years ago, Pauline. We're pleased Quartet worked so well for you all and that the weather was kind too.
Looks like your four-legged crew member enjoyed coming along as well!

“When hiring the quartet I didn't know this was the quartet 4. So there are 3 other versions. Spotted the 3 on the river looked newer. The style of boat is best suited for the broads as it goes under ludham bridge anytime and also Wroxham tide allowing and general cruising is bliss. The boat is also easy to control ( bow thrusters are must ) and for sten mooring you can see over the top. The boat engine is so quiet, which rare in older models but the boat itself is tired and had some rough modifications. However that aside a great boat to spend a week on. We keep coming to Barnes due to the great service, good value and good quality boats.”
“Fantastic boat, had everything you could need and the shower in the back bedroom was amazing - best we have ever had on a boat. Beds were comfortable, kitchen fully equipped and the boat was easy to handle. Great to have water gauge and full electricity- makes a lovely change to have a ‘normal kettle’.
Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, will definitely be booking again”
Sounds like Quartet suited you down to the ground, John. A good shower, comfortable bed and a proper kettle can make quite a difference after a day cruising the Broads!
We’re glad the team looked after you well, and we’ll look forward to welcoming you back.

“Lovely boat ideal for 2 couples. Nice layout
Bathroom in front cabin was bit small but shower in back cabin was lovely and spacious so we all used same shower.”
Glad Quartet worked so well for the four of you, Michelle. Having two cabins makes her a good choice for two couples, and that spacious rear shower certainly comes in handy.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
Thanks for choosing us again, Fergus. We're pleased everything was straightforward from check-in to check-out, and that Quartet worked well for your group.
We hope to welcome you back for your third trip before too long.

“I have been boating with Barnes brinkcraft for many years and I’ve always had a very positive experience , this time in particular was fabulous as the boat was ready on our arrival and as all boats in the Barnes fleet, looked amazing.
All staff are very friendly and helpful too and the welcome aboard hamper is an added bonus !
Just as possible room for improvement … make the beds up for arrival on all boats other than that all fab !!
Looking for a boat that has better accessibility than quarter, but still two cabins , as my friend struggled with all the steps so if you have any suggestions then I would be grateful !!

We're so pleased you've continued to enjoy your holidays with us over the years, and it's great to hear everything got off to such a good start this time too.
For your next trip, it might be worth taking a look at Serenade. Once you're onboard she's step-free throughout, and the aft cabin has a walk-around bed which many guests find much easier to use. If you'd like to chat through the options, just give us a call and we'll be happy to help you find the most suitable boat.
All the best,
The Team at Barnes Brinkcraft
