We really enjoyed our week, weather was good to us and it was great to meet up with old friends

We really enjoyed our week, weather was good to us and it was great to meet up with old friends on the river including Trevor & Mary Thomsett, with whom I had moorings for my boat over many years; also, Jim Henry's pub in Cootehall - where I signed their first visitors' book in May 1977! My grown-up kids, and their families, are avid Shannon fans and I've told them to contact you for any futur...

We enjoyed it very much. All, you have prepared, went well

We enjoyed it very much. All, you have prepared, went well. Great! Let me take the chance to thank you and your colleagues at Banagher Marina and also at Carrick-On-Shannon Marina. The weather was patchy the first week, but better and relative sunny the second week. The boat was fantastic. A little bit too big. But a friend gave me the advice to take no small boat for the first time. And he was r...

Thank you for all your help in booking our boating holiday

Thank you for all your help in booking our boating holiday with Carrickcraft, and for all the information on your website. We had a marvellous fortnight and I have enclosed some photos. The only thing I would mention (nothing to do with your service) is that our intention was to travel the Shannon - Erne system right up to Belleek, which we did, with time to spare in the 15 days. However, in retr...

Thanks for all your responses over the months of planning the trip

Brian, it was a great experience. Thanks for all your responses over the months of planning the trip. I asked for comments from the other people on the boat and here they are in no particular order: The cushions were particularly hard and everyone woke up stiff after sleeping on them. The low fuel consumption over 8 days was amazing. The lack of shore power was bothersome to the ladies not able ...

We will surely book a house boat holiday in Ireland again

We had a great time on the house boat! The whole family enjoyed the few days on the lakes and rivers of Ireland a lot.

We will surely book a house boat holiday in Ireland again. Next time even for a few days more, so we get to travel further.

Thanks for the good organisation, all worked out perfectly.

it was a great trip and will definitely be back

Yeah we had a great time, when we were checking in the guy warned us that the force 9 winds that were forecast would make lough derg fairly brutal so we went up river to Banagher the 1st night, then on to shannonbridge for the 2nd night, swung around and headed for Terryglass on the 3rd night, in hindsight we probably should have just parked off in Portumna on the 3rd night as there wasnt much in...

The Silverline people were genuinely friendly and helpful.

A great week on the river. Panicked a little when our boat reached the lower end of the what we had been told was the fuel limit, after we found that one of the few fuel depots, at Quigley's Marina doesn't serve on a Sunday. In fact when we took in back to Silverline the tank was more than half full. I guess they have to be pessimistic but it would have been better to have had a more realistic es...

Yes, we had a great time, even when the weather made things a bit rough on Lough Key!

Yes, we had a great time, even when the weather made things a bit rough on Lough Key! Kathleen didn't like it when things started falling down in the cabin but we sorted that out and after finding that there were no berths left at the first mooring area, we found a second one and tied up there. I was a bit disappointed when I was charged an extra €100 on arrival because we had the dog with us. ...
