Thank you to Michelle, Howard, PJ, Penny and all thier wonderful staff and collegues at Danforth Yachting for an absolutely spectacular and wonderful three days - wish it could have been longer! Nothing was too much trouble for these guys. Returning several pounds heavier but also considerably more relaxed and happier than when we arrived. It's a tremendous set-up here - nobody could fail to enjoy themselves here.

As a professional interior & space design consultant I want to record how hugely impressed I have been with the attention to detail put into Danforth. From the overall concept and design down to the tiniest detail, the whole place is a visual delight and all the staff are thoughtfulness and kindness itself.
