We stayed at Berwick Cottage which was a perfect base for touring Norfolk and Suffolk. The cottage was perfect! Every facility required for a disabled traveler and their family/carers – set in a friendly quiet village which had everything you need on a self-catering holiday.

The half day boat trip was breathtaking. Our skipper Susan was welcoming and friendly. She was knowledgeable about the history of the broads. The boat was fully accessible and even had hot drink facilities. We even got to drive the boat which was a personal highlight.

We’ve already booked for next year!

Providing vital lifeline for wheelchair users to get out and about on the Broads. Easy to book, super helpful well trained staff, choice of pick up points.

My sister arranged for a boat trip for our father and family. He is bed bound and to get out needs a specialist chair. He has been around boats all his life so this is all he talks about.

The Nancy Oldfield Trust has some specialist motor boats with electric ramps and key headings that allow a chair to be wheeled right onto the ramp and down into the boat, which is flat inside.

My father and our family were on the water together for the first time in several years. There were two volunteers on the boat who made the whole experience very pleasant for all of us. Their electric cruiser was very quiet and they were very flexible about where we went. We happen to be the ex owners of one of their Yeoman sailing boats and we did a couple of turns to look at her.

This organisation does some very special work, and it is hard to express how much this trip was appreciated by us all. I have not posted photos as my father cannot consent. The scenery, river and Barton Broad were all beautiful. Please consider this if you are not able to access the Broads due to a disability.

A huge thanks you to the volunteers who run this organisation.

“The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. It is the most amazing place to Visit. I would definitely come back!”

Great place. The opportunity that the trust gives for disabled and disadvantaged people to experience the boards is fantastic. We had a lovely day out on a boat trip.
