"We were given clear instructions and really enjoyed the experience"

"We've holidayed on boats hired from B/B several times over the years and have found them to be a step above others on the Norfolk Broads. It's difficult to quantify why that is, but from the boat handover, to the return, it just feels that you, the customers, are what matters. Add to that the well maintained and cleanly prepared accommodation and it makes a relaxing holiday, all the more stress-free."

"Very easy to book. Boat was excellent, especially liked the electric motor as so quiet"
