DO
NOT
MOOR
HERE.
We
came
here
on
their
free
anniversary
museum
day
to
moor
overnight.
What
should
have
been
a
magical
time
for
us
ended
with
me
fuming
and
in
tears.
We
are
long
time
narrowboat
enthusiasts
and
first
time
narrowboat
drivers
and
were
very
excited
to
see
the
museum
on
their
30th
anniversary
day
for
our
first
time,
but
were
greeted
by
staff
that
treated
us
terribly
and
all
had
conflicting
information
regarding
mooring
times
and
protocols.
We
ended
up
missing
out
on
seeing
the
museum
entirely
despite
arriving
promptly
at
4pm.
After
mooring
up
(not
an
easy
task
in
their
space
for
first
time
boaters)
we
were
shouted
at
by
the
driver
of
a
narrowboat
they
hired
for
boat
tours
on
the
day
to
move
our
boat
so
he
could
unload
passengers
(after
being
told
he
would
double
up
with
us
by
four
other
members
of
staff).
When
we
went
inside
after
mooring
up
for
the
second
time
and
when
we
asked
staff
if
we
could
just
buy
a
postcard
they
said
we
couldn't
because
of
the
staff
soiree
they
were
having
that
evening.
It
was
after
closing
time
at
this
point
but
only
by
a
few
minutes.
I
want
to
note
that
up
until
this
moment,
every
single
staff
member
we
spoke
to
about
mooring
from
the
moment
we
arrived
all
had
conflicting
information
and
didn't
seem
to
know
what
was
going
on.
When
we
asked
for
the
code
for
the
water
and
gate
(per
the
booking
email)
a
random
member
of
staff
shouted
at
us
(who
we
hadn't
spoken
to
before)
"WHY
DO
YOU
NEED
THAT?"
We
explained
for
what
felt
like
the
8th
time
that
we
paid
for
mooring
and
needed
the
information
per
the
email
which
said
to
ask
for
the
codes
on
the
day.
He
reluctantly
told
us
and
we
asked
for
the
gate
code
he
then
shouted
again
asking
why
we
would
need
that
information
("to
go
buy
groceries"
was
our
response)
and
he
reluctantly
gave
us
the
other
code.
As
we
were
walking
back
to
our
boat
feeling
incredibly
unwelcome
a
young
member
of
staff
(the
first
person
we
spoke
to)
apologized
for
the
confusion
and
told
us
to
come
back
to
visit
the
museum
in
the
morning
before
we
left
the
mooring
spot
and
that
we'd
have
no
issues.
I
wish
that
was
the
case.
The
soiree
they
had
lasted
until
about
midnight
and
the
side
of
our
boat
seemed
to
be
the
smoking
section
with
people
talking
loudly
and
smoking
all
night
by
our
boat.
In
the
morning
when
we
attempted
to
visit
the
museum,
we
were
told
we'd
have
to
pay.
After
explaining
to
the
member
of
staff
(who
also
spoke
to
us
the
day
before)
that
it
was
the
staff's
fault
that
we
missed
our
opportunity
to
see
the
museum
on
the
free
day
and
we
were
told
we
would
have
no
issues,
he
just
looked
at
us
confused
and
said
"ahh
yes
but
today
is
today
and
today
the
museum
isn't
free".
All
I
could
say
is
"well
shame
we
won't
get
to
see
the
museum
after
all".
I
still
bought
my
postcards
(begrudgingly,
but
they
are
one
of
the
only
places
I've
found
to
buy
postcards
with
narrowboats
on
them
to
send
back
to
family
abroad)
but
left
incredibly
disappointed.
The
only
upside
was
that
a
friendly
cat
came
up
to
us
to
say
hello
before
we
left
the
mooring
spot.
