So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Boat was very comfortable, clean and everything was working

This was the first time we have hired a boat. There were 2 staff at the marina, Ian was very helpful going over aspects of the boat and maintenance checks. The lady (sorry can't remember name) was quite abrupt and questioned our route, something we had submitted a couple of weeks prior. This put us on the spot as we had planned this route. If they felt it was too difficult it could have been questioned prior to our arrival as there had been email correspondence. She also tried to put us off doing the bigger locks making us question or holiday choice and cast a negative start. The boat was clean on the floors, surfaces, bathrooms, and kitchen, however the bedding was stained and the pillow and mattress protectors had not been changed recently. Neither TV picked up a signal the whole time we were away. The mattresses were very uncomfortable, springs springing when you turned over and the pillows lumpy. Overall we had a great time on the canal, enjoyed discovering new places, we had fun operating the locks with no problems. We will holiday on a barge again.

All the staff from booking the trip to handing back the boat we’re very friendly and helpful. The boats are well equipped and comfortable. Feels like a safe holiday in these times.

Overall a good trip. Only commnent, the boat felt a bit "tired" and could do with some internal TLC

A great family holiday on a beautiful canal. The boat was a comfortable (if snug) home from home for 4 days for a family of four.

marvelous holiday but we had some problems with water as we accidently turned off the water pumps. We also had trouble with managing to get a pump out as the cards are only available online.
