A professional service throughout from the initial booking to mooring up at the end of the holiday. Good smart, clean and comfortable boat which showed up some of the opposition. Have already recommended you to friends.
Mrs C from Dover

Narrowboat holidays are totally relaxing, and the pace of life is so slow and calming. You have the variation of cruising and then the sometimes physical challenge of locks. You can visit different places and do everything you want in your own time – we had a fantastic time and will be returning next year!

A tranquil way to spend a week or two in the wonderful, picturesque countryside.
Mr L from Yarm

This holiday was everything we hoped it would be, we had one probelm with the boat and the mechcanic was with us that same day, and solved the probelm within 5 mins, quiet and relaxing and beautiful what more would you want?! and without leaving the country.
Mrs I from Herne Bay

Go during the week out of season and you feel as though you could be the only people on the Broads.
Mr W from Halesworth

The staff at the boat yard at Stalham and Acle were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them.
Miss M from Cardiff

How can you improve on something which is so naturally beautiful as the norfolk broads!

We would definitely recommend this type of holiday. Its fun, relaxing and what a laugh we had, especially when mooring up. We came back from our holiday all chilled out – excellent!
Mr M from Hull

Fantastic fun and the friendliness of locals and other boat users was amazing. Everyone that we came across had a superb attitude towards us!

Mrs C from Cardiff

Very relaxing and a must have experience for the children!
Mr J from Leiston

We have now lost count of our Broads holidays, its well over 30 now. Every trip is different – sometimes challenging – always enchanting. For peace, beauty and relaxation a Broads holiday cannot be beaten!
Mrs R from Northwich

I thought the holiday was very enjoyable indeed and we will certainly visit the Broads again.
Mr S from Fort William

All in all value for money is the most important factor, and there is no doubt that cruising the Broads gives you this. The peace and tranquility and the fact that there is so much to see gives you no time to be bored, and the people are pleasant and helpful!
Mr I from Norfolk

If you want a quiet, peaceful holiday in beautiful surroundings this is the best!
Miss P from Chesterfield

We deliberately chose Silver Gem 3 because it seemed the most appropriate boat to have with two dogs on board – and we were right! The open bow was perfect for those not steering to sit out and enjoy our travelling with the dogs.
