Karen was very hospitable & made us feel welcome. Scenery was amazing! Clean toilets on site, with cold drinks, hot drinks, snacks & hot food. Would recommend! Thank you.

Our 2nd booking with Karen and Arthur, this time on Teasel. As before, everything was well organised and we were soon on our way seeing the wonderful scenery and wildlife including our first Kingfishers!! Our one and only problem was with the fridge but that was resolved in no time at all, with no inconvenience to us. We cannot wait until we can do it again.

We had a fantastic few days on Teasel. The boat was very well equipped and was very clean. Karen and Arthur provide great customer service and the handover when we arrived was thorough and helpful. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic week on board Bramble. Karen and Arthur were so welcoming and accommodating even though we were late and had missed our allotted slot. Instruction via the videos beforehand and in-person from Arthur made the driving and use of the boat so easy. Karen even went to the trouble of posting back some shoes we had left on board. A wonderful restful week on the canal!

We hired a five hour narrowboat trip with two adults four children and a puppy. Arthur and his team were fantastic we will definitely be coming back for another visit will recommend to everyone. Great value for money driving the boat was easier than we thought fantastic day out children and puppy had a great time
