We are often asked what a holiday aboard Twee Gebroeders is like. So to help anyone contemplating a visit next year we have put together a top 10 of must have experiences based on what our guests have most enjoyed this summer.
In no particular order the best things about our holidays are:
1. Exploring the Orwell and Stour aboard TG
 |
| Motoring TG past Felixstowe docks |
 |
| Family time aboard TG |
2. Playing Swallows and Amazons aboard our 1920's sailing boat "Twinkler" Twinkler is a very special little boat, she is 21 foot and is the oldest known Hillyard still afloat. Next year she will be joining TG to offer extra accommodation for those seeking a true "Swallows and Amazons" experience.

| Twinkler might be little buts she is great fun... |
 |
| even when passed by much bigger ships! |
3. Fishing trips on the Orwell. There is nothing as satisfying as catching and cooking your own tea and Sea Bass make a wonderful meal!

4. Long walks in the countryside around Pin Mill. There are miles of riverside paths and woodland walks around the barge, and in the summer the poppy fields are amazing.

5. The comfortable beds. Everyone who stays aboard TG comments on the beds; they are just soooo comfortable and after an active day in the fresh air a good nights sleep is almost guaranteed!

| Cosy and comfortable; the master cabin |
6. Breakfast, dinner or just a glass of wine in the cockpit. There is nothing better to start or finish the day.
 |
| The Cockpit has a wonderful view of the Orwell |
7. Watching the Smack and Barge races which take place at Pin Mill every year in June. Following the race from the barge or from a chase boat is a wonderful experience.

8. Watching the wildlife from the barge or out on the river. Whatever time of year there is always something to see from seals to avocets, deer to crabs.
9. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the Orwell -just amazing.

10. Enjoying the river with the canoe or having a swim, if the sun is shining there is nothing better to do.
Obviously there are also all the other things which make TG so special, like her beautiful interior, cooking on the red range, the welcome bottle of wine and the chocolate cake :-)
All our guests have found slightly different ways to enjoy TG and her location. We hope that you will agree that a holiday aboard is a unique experience and if you haven't tried it already please come and visit us in 2014.
