What do other people say about San Salvador from Richardsons Cruisers

Experiencing the peace and tranquility of the broads plus the onboard facilities were everything we could have asked for in a holiday. We had 10 days which we gave us the time to enjoy the whole of the broads. The wild life and friendliness of the Norfolk people was something not to be missed . Taking our dog with us meant we also enjoyed the numerous walks that the holiday has to offer. Thank you.
Mr M from Taunton

We enjoy our boating holidays and have always been satisfied with Hoseasons.
Miss W from Goole

It was our first time and a great way for our children to see wildlife up close, my daughter is now hooked on birdwatching! Thank you!
Mrs M from Ilford

After 32 years virtually every year, it still has the magnetism to draw us back once again, just never get tired of steering around the next bend!

Mooring in the heart of Newbury and having lunch in the town centre was a unique experience. The villages we passed and explored had some wonderful pubs. The reach to Pewsey from Newbury went through some lovely remote countryside with a lot of locks. We met some very friendly people as time slowed on the journey.
