So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
The Mon & Brec canal is pleasant and scenic, particularly where it winds its way through the Brecon Beacons. The whole length, from Cwmbran to Brecon, is amongst fields and trees. Sadly, very few boats go south to Cwmbran but we did and can recommend doing so - on the map it looks built up but in reality you hardly see any houses and its green all the way. It also gives the opportunity to explore the start of the unrestored locks at Cwmbran as they work down towards the river. The only thing to be aware of is that the canal here is a bit shallow and progress can be slower than in other parts so allow a bit of extra time. There is plenty of time to travel to Cwmbran, then to Brecon and back to Goytre in a week. There are a number of canal side pubs to eat in and we enjoyed 3 excellent meals during the week. All in all, an excellent trip.

Whilst the boat and equipment was as usual very good we found the layout of the table and seating to be very difficult to get in and out for 4 adults and the extra metal chairs most uncomfortable. Previous boats have been much better for dining. My other complaint is that whilst a small table was provided to sit at the front of the boat for drinks etc, the seating was uncomfortable and the provision of some padded covers would have been welcome.

The entire team at Springhaven were superb. From the welcome from Sue, the walk through with Mark and the setting off with Steve. Special mention to the cleaning team. The boat was spotless on collection and everything just perfect. I would recommend hiring boats from this marina without any hesitation at all. 5*.

For the second year running and not their fault due to Kennet & Avon canal being flooded we were efficiently moved to a different marina and were able to keep our holiday week.

Our 6th time out of Goytre Wharf but our first time on a Finch class boat so we were a little worried that it might feel small and cramped but that wasn't the case at all and having a rear galley is so much more sociable.
