We enjoyed our stay on the barge. Despite the snow and ice on the deck we were warm inside with the central heating and the log fire. It took a couple of days to get our sea-legs, but the gentle rocking helped get to sleep! We were reminded that the Maas is a 'working river'.
The boat really is quite quaint.
Eric was a great host, popping in to check on us occasionally. He supplied extra wood, and breakfast items for the first day - which we appreciated. We also appreciated all the tourist info on board, coupled with Eric's advice and suggestions. We just needed more time!
