“Excellent all round as usual.
All gardens excellent except for Painswick's Rococo garden. Found garden very uneven under foot and slightly uphill. Found we went round garden quite quickly so the time spent there could possibly be shorten by half an hour.
Other two garden visits were even better than we expected.”
Thank you for your fantastic review, Julie! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your English Gardens themed cruise with us.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the Rococo garden. We understand that uneven surfaces and an uphill path can be a bit challenging, based on the feedback we received about Rococo Garden, it is not a garden we will be adding to our 2026 itinerary, we have found a more accessible garden for our guests to enjoy during this themed cruise.
We're pleased that you enjoyed the other excursions on this trip.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and we hope we see you and John again next year!
“Wonderfull week, especially with the weather being so good.
Nice company both passengers and crew.
Just felt that the hours at the Malvern show were a bit too long.
We are still enjoying the weather.
Thank you. Maureen and Michael Mcdowell”

“The English Garden cruise was well organised The visit to Worcester Cathedral & Worcester Pottery was very informative An unforeseen problem was the lift was out of order at the pottery which made it difficult to access the upper floors
Both gardens & Malvern Show were very enjoyable
Although the Rococo garden had very steep & uneven paths which was difficult for several in the group to fully enjoy the garden
A fantastic crew ,good food & good weather
Over all a worthwhile & enjoyable trip”

“Very enjoyable cruise with like minded passengers. The visits were well arranged to interesting places. Unfortunately I have an arthritic knee which was giving me trouble walking so didn't get to see much of the Malvern Show but that was down to me. All the crew were excellent and really looked after us well and the food was delicious and presented beautifully. Thank you to them all.”
