Returning Customer Loyalty Scheme Terms and Conditions
This year marked the 35th consecutive time we have been with Norfolk Broads Direct. All the staff are eager to please and go out of their way to assist us. I believe their boats rank with any on the Broads the new ones especially. We always use Fair Empress because it holds happy memories going back over the years.
