I would recommend a Broads holiday to anybody as I have done it 11 times but not with the old boats that were on offer from Richardsons.
Mr S from Hamad Town

Most relaxing and best fun holiday ever.
Mr R from Royston

We took holidays on the Norfolk Broads a lot as children and thoroughly enjoyed going back with my daughter and showing her all the places we knew, a lot of which have not changed at all. We will definitely be doing this again!
Miss P from Ipswich

We would say try a boat for a truly relaxing experience, your whole pace of life slows to that of the river.
Mrs C from Hexham

Boating holidays are very enjoyable and relaxing once you get the hang of steering and mooring, but friendly people are always on hand to help.
Mr W from Coalville

Overall, for us as first timers, the holiday was enjoyable and we loved the ability to wander the waterways and moor up at a different pub every night for our evening meal!
Mrs T from Darlington

The best holiday ever! Boating made easy with Richardsons! Great fishing, beautiful scenery, friendly, helpful people and value for money. Sitting on your boat first thing in the morning watching an otter swimming and feeding. How could you ever beat that? Thank you for the experience of a lifetime.
Miss. J from Hunstanton

This was my 5th broads boating holiday and the 3rd from the same boatyard. Everything is so relaxing and the boats so easy to handle with no locks to contend with on the Norfolk Broads. Wonderful scenery and amazing wildlife around every turn of the river. I’ll be back!

What do other people say about Swan Rapide from Swancraft

I would love to recommend this type of holiday as it was superb and much more value for money than if we had went abroad! It was lovely to see another part of the UK and everyone was really friendly. Having your own accommodation that you can move around with was excellent. The weather was good for part of the holiday but there were a few days of heavy rain, having said that, to me the weather didn’t matter so much as the holiday was all about relaxation, so whether I was sitting outside in the sun or relaxing inside while it rained, I had a great time. I would definitely book this type of holiday again through Hoseasons and have told plenty of friends and family that it was great. Also, we took our two dogs and they were so calm on the boat, it must have been relaxing for them as well! They enjoyed their holiday too! We have taken plenty of photos and a couple of videos and are going to post these on to youtube to give other people considering this type of holiday an idea of what it’s like as we looked at other peoples videos before we went.All in all, 10 out of 10, thank you very much!!
Miss M from Cumnock

It was relaxing, comfortable, fun and perfect!
Mr R from London

The holiday is a great time to relax and enjoy the scenery without a care in the world. Boating is a great holiday experience and would recommend it to anybody.
Miss W from Plymouth

This is one of the most relaxing weeks you could ever wish for. And at today?

I would recommend the swift and proficient service provided by Richardsons staff at Stalham as they made the arrival and departure routines totally painless.
Mr W from Southsea

I would like to recommend this holiday as it was brillant and the boat was easy to handle although there were only the two of us! The scenery of the Broads is breathtakingly beautiful – overall a wonderful experience.
Mrs P from Immingham

A very relaxing way to spend a week and unwind from the stress of everyday life.
Mrs B from Harrogate

Although my wife was initially dubious about just the 2 of us handling a boat, and indeed the whole idea, we had an extremely enjoyable holiday helped by some glorious weather, and the friendliness of everyone we met. Having done it once we would certainly go again!!
Mr R from Wilmslow

Nobody knows exactly where you are which is fantastic as you can’t be reached if you don’t want to be. In remoter parts such as Dilham there is no phone signal anyway (you can always use a phone box in an emergency!) You can make it the holiday you want. If you want to go out for a meal or drink every night then glam up and go. But if you want to chill and just watch the river life, nature and wave at other boats as they go by you can do that too. Being on the water is so relaxing. As you pull out of the boatyard, your worries and stresses just melt into the calming water – the best!!!!
Mrs W from Herne Bay

I found this holiday very relaxing, we will definitely come again!
Mr P from Southsea

A fantastic getaway from it all and a great way to unwind!
Mrs B from Leeds

Symphony is absolutely perfect for a couple. The warm air heating makes the boat ideal for cold weather cruising and the sunroof makes it great for warm weather. A nice touch with a full size fridge and the bed is as wide as a full size double and really makes for a comfortable time afloat. Oh and the new engine at the back makes things at the front nice and peaceful with no morning checks to make – hire with confidence!
Mrs B from Lincoln

Freedom, peace, relaxation and natural beauty surround you – you could not want or ask for any more. This is my 6th trip with yourselves and I have never booked with any other boatyard, and hope to go to the Broads again next year!
Mr S from Sittingbourne

If you want to have the ultimate quiet and peaceful break which gets you away from all the hassle of your normal life then believe me you are in the right place. Expect a relaxing, peaceful time and sit back and enjoy, then go home with a spring in your step – thanks for such a great holiday, we will be back!
Mr F from Boston

My husband and I have been on the Norfolk Broads every year for the last 10 years. It is a great way to recharge our batteries, whilst also doing as much or as little as you like. You can meet other people if you wish to, but otherwise you can have an enjoyable holiday just for two!
Mrs W from Horley

We would recommend the holiday as we love the boats and always find your boats wonderful.
Mr C from Sittingbourne

A lovely boat with great fixtures and fittings, the Broads were their usual stunning best.
Mr A from Maidstone

What a relaxing way to spend a few days, no more than 4-5 mile an hour you have no choice but to relax and unwind. A perfect way to get rid of the stresses and strains of modern day living.
Mrs B from Boston

This boating holiday was something we had talked about for years but never got round to. Us booking the holiday was as a last minute decision was one we truly don’t regret. We loved every bit of it as our did our children, we met amazing people along the way and had help and guidance from everyone we came across. The people of Norfolk are truly wonderful people and made a huge difference to our first boating experience. If we can afford to, we will definitely come again and do a boating holiday we’re totally hooked and will definitely do this again!
Mr V from Bexleyheath

I was suffering from glandular fever when this holiday came round, but because of the relaxing nature of the break, I still managed to enjoy every moment and will be going again next year!
