      Thank you Corinne, Gareth ( and we can’t forget Scott) for letting us experience life on your canal boat on a lovely stretch of water and in a beautiful narrowboat. We almost achieved our aim having the children screen free by end of week. The kids have asked if we’ll be doing another canal boat trip so cannot think of any higher praise.

      We left the marina instilled with confidence thanks to Corinne and Gareth's instructions. All four of us, along with Tilly Dog, were excited to head off - it was not disappointing, despite the weather. The waterways are calm and relaxing, you meet friendly folk along the way and the locks were good fun and great exercise! Our lovely narrowboat had everything we needed and more..... can't wait to do it all again. Thank You.

      Dad plus two sons (12, 13) had a perfect 4-night trip at the end of summer 2022. New to driving and navigating locks, was just the right amount of challenge for all involved. Narrowboat was tip-top, as was support from owners - which was friendly and enthusiastic. After the trip ended we immediately booked the same week, same hire boat for next year. Can't come soon enough.
