  • Stripping the cabins right back, replacing the insulation and rebuilding the interior walls.
  • All the electricity, wiring and air conditioning has been replaced.
  • The baths in both suites have been replaced with showers and the bathrooms have been retiled.
  • The cabins are being redecorated, re-carpeted and beautiful new bed linen.
  • There will be new solid brass light fittings and curtains throughout the barge.

We hope to be receiving photos soon!
