To be sure of the quality of your holiday you can also ...

• Come and have a look over the boats at any time. Just give us a phone call to find out where we will be. Obviously on a change over day or in the winter we have more time to talk to you, but during the summer you can meet other guests.

• However if you can not come along, then you can be assured that an inspector from 'Visit Britain' has given the boats a very strict examination and she says we met their standards and has awarded us four stars. You can read all about this on our Quality Standard page.

• In 2008 we had a correspondent for the Sunday Times on the boats. Read what he wrote about us here.
