We had a wonderful holiday. The boat was exactly as described, and given the difficult times in which we holidayed it was well equipped to cook on board each night. Emma was excellent, no question was too much trouble. Can't recommend highly enough. Will definitely be booking again through Emma and Hotels Afloat.
