So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Boat was immaculately clean, while the handover from Roy was great. It was our first time on a boat and he took us through everything and even met us at the first flight of locks to run through how they work.

Relaxing holiday. Enjoyed a change of scene. Our planned holiday was cancelled so this was our second choice. Staff very helpful, boat was beautifully clean with all mod cons and nice extra touches like waterproofs, playing cards and bird spotting book. Really enjoyed identifying birds on canal and even saw a kingfisher one morning.

No fault for the company or for the boat. Reservations however over the state of the canal. I have been on five canals in UK and I never before encountered stretches with trees growing half way across the waterway. This on two occasions led to dangerous confrontations with oncoming boats resulting in getting stuck in the mud. On one occasion we only escaped by getting a tow from the boat which, eventually, came up behind us. One other point...... we were at times aware of the folly of embarking on this trip without at least one nimble, active, preferably young, crew member. There are occasions each day when situations arise where physical strength and agility are needed ..... and urgently! We think it would be helpful if, in your literature, you tactfully pointed this out to prospective hirers.

Nice boat and lovely scenery, it was a little stressful as I was only one steering, this being first time on canal. The fact the canal was narrow, overgrown and very shallow did not help

We like the company, the people and holiday with you each year. Our only gripe is the boat pick up and return times. Whilst I understand you need to turn the boats round and get them out I believe that 2pm pick up and a 9am drop off severely limits the holiday, especially when taking into consideration the cost.

Great holiday, everything working on the boat. Covid restrictions were effective but time consuming.
