Boats Hired-Romany 1-Romany 2-Moorhen.Barnes Brinkcraft Boating Holiday – 05.08.2017 to 12.08.2017

Boat - Romany 1

Day 1 – Sat 05.08.2017 – Raining quite heavily when we arrived I got saturated by the rain, it did not help any that it took 3 attempts to find Romany 1 boat. Boat was leaking in every cabin and seating area. Drawers were smelling when we came to put our clothes in them. We all used toilets at pub we stoped at to have a meal.

Day 2 – Sun -06.08.2017 – when we had settled in we became aware of the terrible smell through out the boat. The toilets were inadequate – deplorable – Toilet seat too small to do your business on – Sanitation was unhealthy. Boat appeared it had not been cleaned before we got it. Rain started again at night time.

Day 3 – Mon – 07.08.2017 – rained all day adding to our problems. For a boat it leaked every where, [thought boats were supposed to be water proof]. [Stupid me].

Day 4 – Tues – 08.08.2017 – Raining again Front Cabin getting worst + the Smell.

Day 5 – Wed – 09.08.2017 – One of the kids birthday today, we were planning all kinds for his special day but every one was to wet and cold to get in the swing of it.Someone told us about Waverley camp site, so we went there and had a great time [nice and dry]. The family in the front cabin hired a YURT Tent for a £100 for the night just to have somewhere dry.

Day 6 – Thur – 10.08.2017 – Stopped raining [am], we all decided to go home a day early because of conditions.

Day 7 – Fri – 11.08.2017 – Mini Bus coming 2pm to take us home. Barnes Brinkcraft kept saying SORRY – SORRY – SORRY. This holiday was a get together of our family who we dont see very often which was destroyed by the boat we hired for a week. My sister and her husband plus his family were on Romany 2, they had the same problems as us. My Son and his wife had same problems - Moorhen
THESE 3 BOATS SHOULD NOT BE FOR HIRE TO ANYONE. Barnes Brinkcraft should hang there HEADS IN SHAME. The Broads are wonderful shame about the boats.
My experience is based on the boats not the broads which I loved.
The Holiday was TERRIBLE,HORRID
