"Great company --Best on the broads-- we booked Royal Swan for 7 nights -- fantastic company and great clean boat-- everyone was so helpful --bed was comfortable and the swan has a domestic loo and great shower over a corner bath-- we had the best time ever"
- C Craig-Gilby
"We hired the Prelude 4, which was very comfortable, clean and luxurious. The communication and service we received from Barnesbrinkcraft was amazing, including while we were out on the broads with the boat and had a couple of questions (it was our first time boating)! A photograph of the location of the circuit breaker for the mudweight winch in the handbook would have been handy (it was quite well hidden from view below a mattress in the front cabin), but otherwise everything was so well explained and in any case Barnesbrinkcraft were so easily contactable. We had three very special and beautiful days on the boat - thank you!"
