"Spoke to Polly, very helpful and explained everything I wanted to know and suggested a boat to suit us"

- Robert F

"As usual we are never disappointed with our stays at Barnes Brinkcraft. This time we stayed in Riverview. Accommodation very clean and comfortable. Only suggestion would be some shelving in the bathrooms as nowhere to put any toiletries at all. Have been coming here for 22 years and will definitely be back."

- Gary D

"Spacious lodge with lots of equipment and having the access to our neighbouring lodge Grebe was perfect. Also use of the dayboat was a bonus. Staff in reception and support staff great."

- Sally B

"A great day's boat hire and conveniently located to explore the broads. We took a trip to The Lion for lunch after a quick stop along the suggested route to grab a coffee. Staff friendly and boat exactly as expected. We managed to get two of the parking spaces in their free car park."

- Mark U
