“We were complete beginners and we purchased our boat July 2022.
Clair was great! Every boat we wanted to view was either sold or under offer so Clair told us she would let us know as soon as one became available. We told her what we were looking for and it wasn’t long before she called us back. She organised the viewing for the same day and she showed us our ideal boat. We agreed to buy the boat within the hour! Clair told us she would email us with everything we needed to kick start the buying process. And true to her word she did so straight away. We had no idea where to start so a big thanks to her for making it all clear and simple. Every question was answered straight away and nothing was too much trouble. She made everything stress free! She is very good at what she does and endeavours to do the best for both parties. She won’t let you make mistakes but she won’t tell you what to do either. She’s happy and smiley and clearly knows her job. We can’t thank you enough. We love the boat and are looking forward to living on the water full time. Thanks soooooo much😁”
“We have recently sold our boat with the team from Fradley, we received excellent service, Claire with the admin, Alba with fantastic pictures and video and Peter’s expert advice and support through the sales process. We cannot speak highly enough of this team. If you are selling your boat these are the team to go to.

“Tremendous service from Gt. Haywood Boat Sales team. Sixteen days after contacting them the boat was sold and the deal completed, the next working day the money was in my bank account. I was kept fully informed throughout and the forecast of events was spot on. The form filling was easy via eMail, no visit to the sales team was necessary.
Just have a clean presentable and serviceable boat at a realistic price and you’ll have no problem.
Believe me the sale could not have been more straight forward,no hassle whatsoever.

“Thanks to Mandy at Great Haywood our recent Narrowboat purchase went through smoothly and stress free . Mandy was excellent at keeping us updated with progress, and information on what was happening next. In the fast moving sellers market, it was very helpful that we were treated courteously and professionally. Looking forward to many happy days cruising the inland waterways.”
“Great Haywood Boat Sales have just completed the sale of our beautiful widebeam Chez Nous. We cannot praise them enough. Peter, Ellie and the team were fantastic from the first day they took our instruction. We were updated every day. They are courteous, professional and helpful right to completion. We would highly recommend their service and they will be our first port of call should we ever buy/sell again. Sue and Tony. 😊😊😊”
“Selling our boat was made so easy by the excellent communication and service of all the staff. Nothing was left to chance, especially during these challenging times with lockdown etc. Would recommend GHBS to anyone.
Thank you to all concerned

Once initial paperwork had been completed I placed my boat with them on the Friday and on Monday received a phone call to say they had received a deposit for the boat. They explained everything every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them highly.”
“I have just brought a boat through Great Haywood and couldn't be more happier with the service I received. I dealt with Peter who was very professional and a very nice man. I couldn't recommend them enough. Best boat company that I have had dealings with.”

“Have recently sold my boat 🚣♀️ and was very pleased with the help and friendliness of the staff,and would highly recommend them to any boater who wants to buy or sell a boat 🚣♀️”
“I bought my first boat through GHBS. Nothing but praise for everyone I dealt with. I did not know what I was looking for initially but after a consultancy appointment with them they helped me get together a list of things I wanted on a boat based on length, budget and what I would be using a boat for. This was done in the office over a coffee and they even had treats for my dog!
I had sold my house and renting until I found a boat. They called me a few days after our first appointment to talk about a boat that was arriving on brokerage that would suit me. I arranged to view before I'd seen details of the boat because I knew they had a good idea of what I was looking for. I was right to do so as it was ideal. Really grateful to everyone at GHBS. One very happy buyer.”
“Fantastic customer service. We dealt with the team whilst buying and selling. We couldn't be happier with the way they kept us updated through out both sales. Thanks again, K.”
“Mandy has been more than helpful. She was aware of the boat we wanted and when the sale fell through with the previous purchaser she contacted us and got us to view the boat very quickly. She has a lovely calming manner and I am sad she is leaving as I wanted to thank her personally for her advice and assistance.”
