"Family and friends enjoyed a few days in Top Sail. The accomodation was well equipped throughout and very comfortable. Location means you have the option of some great days out around the area or just watching the world go by along the river. The added bonus of free use of a day-boat was brilliant, which we made good use of during our stay. First world problem given we had access to 4 showers, but some additional pressure to the 2 showers on the top floor would have made hair-washing a little more straightforward ;)"

"Lovely boat, warm & cosy, fully equipped. Friendly & helpful staff."
