Thanks for taking the time and responding. Thats great. Much appreciated. Appreciate the heads up on the berth aswell.

Thanks for all the advice folks. Its much appreciated. Like I said I previously I have no knowledge of the broads as I dont normally holiday in the UK. I think we have narrowed it down to skipping activities, (apart from Humpty Dumpty Brewery) maybe stay abit longer and head for the South Rivers. Preferably in school term time to avoid heavy traffic. If anyone can recommend any companies for hire that would be great. Many Thanks Ste

Agreed and thankyou for your coment. We are after a nice quiet break with plenty of beer stops. If I wanted wild id visit a city or jump on a plane to Benidorm

Thanks Alan, If 4 nights is an option then this is something we could look at but 5 nights would probably be too much based on our responsibilities back home. I had June/July in my head solely for the weather but would prefer the water being that bit quieter which may not happen in the holidays.

Thanks. Fishing was just an idea. We aren't tied to any particular time so just seeing what responses come back thank you. What would be a recommended starting point for newcomers.

Hi Folks, I am currently looking into visiting the broads next year but am I complete novice when it comes to all things boats/broads. We are 4 males (age range 35 to 37) that every year we look to visit a different city in Europe however next year we are looking to visit the broads. I have previously been on the Bradford on Avon canal but that's the only experience I have. The others are all newbies. We are looking to stay for 3 nights ideally over a weekend but have no idea about routes etc. Ideally, we are after a nice relaxing weekend stopping off at village pubs etc (not interested in the busier towns), hopefully book in a brewery tour if available, maybe play a round of pitch and putt golf and if possible, do some fishing (although none of us have fishing experience). We are happy to pay that bit more and stay in something above basic level Any suggested hire comapnies, routes, attractions etc are all welcome. Many Thanks in advance. Ste
