Big thank you to again for all their hard work to get us ready for guests.

We have unfortunately been the target of a spat of fake reviews on our Google business profile this week. Three, fake 1 star reviews in 1 week! This is having a damaging affect on the business and is really disheartening.

We work really hard to make sure our guests have a lovely time on board and so If you have enjoyed your stay with us we ask you to kindly leave an honest review on our Google listing.
