Customer Testimonial
In twenty years of canal boating we think this was the most comfortable / well appointed boat we have had and also the easiest to drive by far! Staff were super at both arrival and departure. Mrs W.N. Watson - Bedford
Customer Testimonial
What a lovely holiday we've just had! We'd never thought about going on a canal boat before, but some friends of ours had done it and said how much they had enjoyed it. I'm glad we took their advice and tried it. We'll certainly be going again, very soon. Debbie - Devon
