A lovely relaxing experience with beautiful scenery.
Mr S from Pudsey

Keep up the good work … had a great time many thanks.
Mr B from Coventry

We had a wonderful holiday and would not hesitate to recommend Hoseasons and our boatyard, Richardson’s, to all our family and friends.
Mrs M from Hull

I would recommend this holiday to anyone who wants to relax!
Mr L from Gillingham

A lovely break away, very peaceful and calm.
Mr F from Nottingham

I would recommend a Hoseasons holiday on the Norfolk Broads as there is so much wildlife to see and lots of fun to be had, yet it is a totally relaxing experience watching the world go by!
Mrs G from Sheerness

A totally relaxing holiday!
Mrs W from Wigston

The Broads are a fantastic place to visit, for countryside, local history and wildlife (including otters). Unbeatable, and more than just mooring up at a pub!
Mr B from Tunbridge Wells

No roads, no traffic, no yellow lines and no problems. We were sad to give the boat up!
Mr B from Welwyn Garden City

Fun, freedom and adventure afloat!
Mr O from Grays

Boating holidays relax and refresh me from my hectic working life in a way that no other holiday can. The beautiful surrounds of the Northen Broads in particular suits me, but a trip into Norwich on the Southern Broads can satisfy any shoppers requirements in a beautiful historic city. I would burn out for sure without my annual holiday on a broads cruiser, i look forward to it more than any other holiday.
Ms W from Erith

It is very relaxing and a great way to see a part of the country you would normally pass by.
Mr G from Hitchin

Mr P from Norfolk

It’s a great break for those looking for a relaxing break away. And the locals are incredibly welcoming.
Mr P from Norfolk

We love to boat on the Norfolk Broads, it gives a family quality time together, there is no such thing as an Xbox, only scrabble, cards, conversation and laughter.
Mrs H from Portsmouth

We had an amazing time, it was great fun and I recommend it to anyone!
Mrs H from Mansfield

A brilliant and relaxing holiday – our five year old son loved travelling along the rivers! Good fishing!
Miss P from Birmingham

The holiday was a chance for all the family to be together in very relaxing surroundings. We had a fantastic time exploring the Broads!
Mr R from Bristol

We have used Hoseasons on several occasions and always found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be booking with you again !
Mr C from Rochester

The Norfolk Broads is very probably one the most fulfulling and relaxing holidays currently available in the UK and will continue to be so for a very long time. I first went on the Broads 45 years ago at the age of 2 with my parents and I have very happy memories of these holidays. The peace and tranquility of certain areas such as Hickling Broad and having a BBQ at the rivers edge at Beccles are what the Broads is all about, lazy days cruising the Waveney – I could go on forever!

What do other people say about Tower Bridge from Bridgecraft

I would highly recomend a boating holiday with Bridge Craft. This is our second year aboard Tower Bridge, we loved the boat, and staff at the boatyard are so helpful that we had to come back again. All the boats are maintained to an excellent standard. Even tiny imperfections, like the wardrobe door not staying closed in one of the cabins, has been fixed between last year and this. It is this attention to detail that makes for a wonderful holiday. We will not be going elsewhere now – Bridgecraft all the way!
Miss B from Derby

It is such a relaxing holiday and everyone on the Broads is very friendly and helpful and they will even help you moor your boat if you are inexperienced. I would highly recommend this type of holiday, and its a lot cheaper than going abroad when you can explore the Norfolk Broads in style.
Mrs W from Nottingham

Excellent value, a wonderful break and the sun shone the whole time – I would come again and again!

After hiring a number of boats on the Norfolk Broads over the last fifteen years this is by far the best boat and most welcoming boatyard i have had the pleasure of dealing with and the “Golden Bridge” offers excellent value for money. I would have no hesitation in booking this boat again or any other boat from this boatyard.

What do other people say about Swallows from H. E. Hipperson

This holiday was excellent. Although we have stayed at this boat yard before, we stayed on the main river. We were a little concerned about staying in the basin but our doubts were completely unjustified. The whole holiday was very relaxing and all of the staff were very friendly and asked often if we were enjoying our stay, suggesting places of interest, and didn’t fail to ask if they could help with our luggage both getting on and off the boat. We will definitely be returning!
Mr S from Watford

Very friendly and helpful staff.
Mr. H from Brighton

For an autumn break, a week on a houseboat really is the perfect getaway and already we are looking forward to returning at the same time next year.
Mrs G from Chertsey

We have used Hoseasons for the last 4 years for our boating holidays and have no complaints of any kind. Have already booked next years boat for 2 weeks.
Mr W from Stamford

We had a fabulous week, calm and peaceful. Our houseboat was very spacious and comfortable and we spent part of everyday rowing on the river – even getting up extra early on our last day to fit more rowing in! The fishing was good too, I would recommend to everyone for a real relaxing break.
Mr K from Cochester

We were all very impressed with the houseboat – it has all the advantages of being afloat and the flexibility to explore in the car.
Mrs S from Cotgrave

Total peace and highly recommended – I would like to go again as soon as possible!
Mr R from King’s Lynn

The houseboat was homely, everything we needed and a cheaper option than a cruiser, also the convenience of our car to go to the beaches with our dog. The boatyard staff very friendly and helpful. Hired a day launch to be on the river and boat to a nearby pub. Beccles is a lovely town and the quay side a nice place to sit and watch the river traffic with a coffee from the cafe.
Mrs C from Aylesbury

I would definitely recommend this holiday, its an experience that should be done, you feel relaxed being on the water and also a great location you feel as if you don’t really want to go home.

Everything we needed for self catering was provided, including bedding, towels and tea towels. Plenty of storage room.
