We absolutely loved the Explorer! There weren’t many boat owners around during our stay and it was a quiet peaceful holiday. We enjoyed watching other boats coming and going in the marina, swans and ducks visiting us, and the spectacular sunsets. The marina is a stellar location. Short walk to cafes, supermarket. And it has parking! The houseboat has been looked after well, spotlessly clean, reasonably secure. A lot of thought has gone into anticipating what visitors might need. Karl and Maureen even treated us with some lovely drinks on arrival. Note, this won’t be for everyone. A lot of the fun is the child like pleasure of staying on a houseboat in a gorgeous location. We didn’t want to leave the Explorer to do anything else. Thank you Karl and Maureen!
