This was a holiday that I'd always dreamed of doing and it was everything I expected and more. It was one big exciting adventure! Driving the boat and then mooring where we wanted to stop for the night was just such a brilliant experience and we had so much fun. And the canal was so beautiful - the trees hanging over, White Swans, Squirrels, all the people on push bikes, other boats we passed - there was just so much going on. I even seen a fat Pigeon with a white ring around it's neck, lay an egg in mid flight that fell down into the canal. Amazing! We had a ball. Phillip & Carolyn. P.S. Tell Andrew I'll send him a copy of the film that I make of our journey in a few months after I finish editing it. ( And Andrew should remember me - I'm the guy in the Pith Helmet... Cheers)

Our first holiday on a canal boat. We loved it and will be booking again. Snow Bunting was a lovely size for two. Well equipped. The only thing we found difficult were the hard ridges on the mattresses. We appreciate they have to be narrow mattresses but there are better ones on the market without the hard ridges but we coped using both the double beds so thanks to house keeping for making sure we well supplied. All the staff are amazing and so helpful. Nothing was too small to ask.

Generally excellent but the waterproof suits had problems with tears and lack elastic in a very lerge set of trousers that fell down it attempting to use. AS it was mainly a dry week not too much of a problem , a wet week would have been difficult. A small problem with the pull down seat ...reported to the boatyard. Some of the bedding was not totally clean and was a little worn.

Thank you for your feedback. It is disappointing to hear about the condition of the waterproofs and glad you enjoyed good weather so they didn't have to be used much. Thank you for reporting the issue with the pull down seat to our team at Rugby. I will pass on all of your comments including about the bedding to the marina. We are very happy to hear you still enjoyed an excellent holiday. We hope to see you again soon.

The Barge was clean and well fitted out with all we needed for a lovely holiday, the staff where so welcoming and knowledgeable upon arrival and departure. we were made to feel important and relaxed. The team made sure that we knew how to manage the boat and the locks before setting us lose, they explained the dangers of not adhering to the correct procedures, this was done in a way that made us confident in the case of emergency but not afraid of the canal or the barge .

Our holiday was simply fantastic! We had great weather, a super crew and a very well-appointed and clean boat. We had a technical issue which meant we had to stop, but an engineer came out and within a couple of hours we were on our way again. Unfortunately, the information about how long it would take before the tanks would need to be emptied was wrong and on top of that we were sent away at two places were we should have been able to empty the tanks.
