'If your looking for a complete break from the hussle and bussle of everyday life then this holiday is for you. Completely unwind on the river and moor up at night in a picturesque setting with some home cooked food and a pint or two from the local Pub. Fantastic.'

'If you want a relaxing holiday to forget about the stresses at work and in life in general, then this is it. Long stress free days of cruising along the waterways and plenty of places to stop off for a meal and a few drinks, right on the waters edge. Anyone who needs to get away from it all, then you can't get much better than this. '

'This was our third holiday on the broads. Top class boat and boat yard. Best holiday we have ever had in the UK.'

, Leicestershire,

'I can thoroughly recommend Silver Marine for the professional and friendly way we were treated. The boat was excellent and handled well, and the accommodation was very good (once you got used to the toilet). As long as you plan carefully for the tides and try to get to the free moorings early you can enjoy a very good, relaxing holiday. Take a bird book so you can identify all the birds, and a sat nav is handy too. Also do it when you are young so you can keep going back for many more years!'

The Silver Minuet (or Melody) is the perfect boat for 2 - a lovely boat with clever use of space, and a very nice deck for eating and relaxing on. Thanks to Silverline - we will definitely be back!'

'If you want the ultimate peaceful and relaxing holiday in the UK then the Norfolk Broads are a perfect choice. The service at the Silverline boat yard at Brundall was exemplary.

'The birdlife was amazing, and we saw many species of wader and other birds we had never seen, and we and spent a whole evening watching a Kingfisher flying up and down the river just a few yards from our mooring. Feeding cygnets, goslings and ducklings was a real pleasure and watching a flock of starlings at sunset was a special treat. There's a great feeling of freedom and relaxation sitting on deck with the canopy down cruising at 5mph on a sunny day - the experience was excellent!'
Mrs W
, Truro
