A fantastic way to unwind and enjoy yourself in quiet, unspoilt surroundings.
Mr D from Batley

if you like the county side then what a better way to see it, there is lots to do and the children dont get bored, you must visit potter heighem and roxham by boat, catch a bus to norwich cathederal or the market or great yarmouth, or just sit back with a glass of wine and watch the world go by(or other boats).
Mrs M from Kidderminster

We now know what the word relaxing means.
Mrs T from Gillingham
