So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
They did the basics, tried to sell unnecessary merchandise but covered the basics of the boat okay. The Boat itself was aged and of poor quality. Like hiring a pair of well worn skates at an ice skating ring. I have hired from here before and this was the worst boat I have ever taken out. The second bed was very uncomfortable and the setting up of same laborious each time. Kitchen poorly equipped. Overpriced (even with a 30% discount) for a sub-premium product.

The staff were extremely helpful gave good advice and help before setting off regarding boat handling and safety considerations. Fully explained the operation of the boat controls and the on board equipment. The cruise along the canal from New Mills to Marple was very pleasant with some interesting features of the lift and swing bridges.

We had lovely weather, which helped, but loved seeing the world from the boat as we pootled along. We took lunch and used the galley for tea and coffee.

A tree had fallen across the canal at Linlithgow on Friday evening. Work to remove it still had not commenced on the following Tuesday, so our planned trip to Edinburgh had to be abandoned. Very disappointing.

The route was great as it included locks/lift/swing bridges/tunnels and an amazing aquaduct so the whole canal boat experience. Also beautiful scenery and great places to visit enroute.

The whole experience was easy to use/organise., well informed and helpful from the first day of looking to booking, and right up to the day we boarded. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The boat itself was clean and comfortable. Well equipped and a joy to have for the week. An extremely well organised company that know what they are doing and how to treat the customer.

This was our first trip on a canal boat, and the Llangollen Canal was absolutely breathtaking. The aqueducts, in particular, were thrilling. There was a very polite and friendly atmosphere among the canal folks, and we experienced excellent service at all the places we visited along the way.

We had an absolutely wonderful trip! The boat was perfect for us, and everything worked flawlessly. It was spotless, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed. When we picked up the boat, we received a thorough and extremely helpful orientation covering all the essentials. The staff provided excellent advice on canal life, recommended overnight spots, and shared other handy tips. We highly recommend this company to anyone considering a canal boat adventure.
