"Fabulous time boating on the broads. Boat was perfect for us and the dog. Lots of space and well equipped. Really friendly staff and even when we had a minor mishap (captains fault not the boat😂) they were so quick to get us back on the move. Highly recommend and will definitely look to rebook"

"This was the first time we had hired a boat for a week on the Broads. We had a fantastic time, the boat was just right and we enjoyed cruising and visiting all the little nooks and crannies of the Broads. We have booked to come back next year. The staff at Barnes Brinkcraft are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble."
