Very nice trip to Coventry, a lot more rural countryside than we expected. Not as many water points as other canals but enough for us.

We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your trip to Coventry and found the route more rural and scenic than expected, making for a lovely cruising experience.

Booking, handover and return went really smoothly. Lovely, comfortable boat in excellent condition where everything worked well. Best showers we ever had on a boat! Only gripe really was that storage space was very limited. A little additional shelf in the kitchen would also have been very useful, as a lot of the worktop was taken up by the recycling caddies.
