Your recent holiday on Sandpiper - Green Sandpiper from Falkirk Marina

From the very start to the very end of our trip nothing was ever a problem. Every single person, from boat hire staff to canal staff tending the locks and wheel etc are so chill about everything. We would definitely go back out on a Canal Boat Holiday and we would thoroughly recommend everyone gives it a go.
