Customer Reviews
We absolutely loved our stay on the boat and wished we could have stayed longer! It was truly a unique experience. The location is stunning and the owners were really lovely and informative. We cannot wait to stay again soon. Thank you so much.

Really nice and cosy place, and bigger than expected. Corinne and Gareth were super accommodating to our check in despite needing to switch times, and lovely in person too. Will definitely be back for a longer stay soon :)

We absolutely loved this stay! The Canal boat had everything we needed and our boys loved it! The location it’s in is quite quiet and there are some lovely walks along the canal to enjoy. I had wondered if it might be a little cold and damp in February but that couldn’t be further from the truth, the coal fire kept the whole boat lovely and toasty! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
