Topsy is our spacious and luxurious 55ft wide beam canal boat. She's wider than a narrow boat, which makes your stay more like a home from home. The spacious salon houses a comfortable sofa which turn into a double bed. There's a fold down table and chairs so that you can have your dinner in style. A multi-fuel stove heats the boat so it's nice and toasty. It also heats the central heating - radiators throughout the boat. The main living area is bright and airy with hatches on both sides that you can leave open and let the sun pour into the boat. There is a large flat screen tv in the salon and a smart box with wi-fi, so when there's a signal you have every channel you could wish for.
