The holiday was both a break and a trial as we are planning on becoming continuous cruisers for a few years as a way of changing our lifestyle and touring the National waterways network to see more of our Country. We chose the Mon and Brec as its a standalone canal and we couldnt just go there on our eventual own boat. Having never cruised on a NB this was a great learning experience, very quiet canal, tight bits, shallow bits, more curves than straights with plenty of bridges and a short tunnel, a few locks, an electric and manual lift bridge. We gained more experience in those few days than any helmsman course I've seen, in my opinion. The turn around time on both arrival and departure was as efficient as it could be and all the staff were friendly.

There were numerous, minor, 'issues' which would not warrant a 5 star rating, otherwise it was a good boat. 1) There was no inventory provided beforehand and we were not told what items (normally provided) were not being provided due to Covid 19 measures. These included place mats and foil and cling film - we could have brought these if known. 2) The fridge was not of a suitable standard. We were told beforehand that we could not put large items (eg 4 pints of milk in the door) otherwise it would break the support rail and fall out. This is a silly and unacceptable design fault. It is essential that the fridge door is capable of holding opened bottles of milk, wine and fruit juice and the rail should be strong enough to hold such in place when opened - there is NO reason why this should not be the case. Also, they were so small in height that things like cheese slipped under them. Again no reason why they had to be like this. 3) The toilet doors where slightly warped and they were difficult to open/close - one of them was particularly bad and really had to be pulled very hard to shut. 4) The coat hangers were just too large for the 'cupboards' and one was forever having to angle them all slightly before being able to shut the door.

A relaxing and enjoyable week on Astrid on the Oxford canal. Astrid was well equipped and warm. There was enough space for 4 adults and even when one person wanted to read or do something quietly on their own. The frequency of the the locks and then stopping for food shops or for the pub, meant it kept us active and busy for the week.
