So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
We had an excellent holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our party of eight ranged in age from 6 to 60, and the boat was perfect for everyone. The boat was extremely well equipped, with everything you could possibly need, and the layout was spacious and well thought out. The beds were really comfortable, and there was plenty of storage space for all of us. The bathrooms were excellent, and the Wi-Fi worked very well throughout the boat, which was a real bonus. Overall, we had a fantastic time and couldn’t have asked for a better boat for our holiday. We would definitely recommend it!

From the start of organising the holiday the people involved were very helpful , i called the marina a couple of times for information and was helped without fuss. we arrived a little early for our trip ,the staff were eager to help. the ladies in the office at the falkirk wheel helped us also. when we returned we had same treatment again very helpful.

Whitchurch marina was smaller than we expected, so the boats were moored two or three abreast. The boat was very well prepared and we were able to get away ahead of schedule.
