Useful Canal Holiday Information

A barge holiday is an experience of a lifetime. Exploring the great British waterways is one of the best ways to relax and unwind, taking in the unique pleasures a narrowboat holiday has to offer. You are guaranteed to delight in the peace and tranquility of life on the canal and river network

There is a wealth of things to see and do, including fun days out for the kids, exploring some of the wonderful British Heritage or simply taking in the pleasures of a cozy canal side pub - all often less than a five minute walk along the towpath.

Pass through historic towns and cities as well as superb countryside and villages. It is up to you whether you stop to look around or admire the scenery as you continue on to the next tempting venue.

Whatever your preference, there is always plenty to do and we make sure that your holiday is spent in style and comfort with spacious, well-equipped boats. We are confident that our fleet is of the highest standard, continually updated to ensure that we offer the very best selection of narrowboats in the UK.

Staying on a canal boat compares to a top class holiday cottage, with the added advantage, that the price includes the fact that your holiday home can take you wherever you want to go, with simple controls. The boats have plenty of storage space, soft beds, central heating, showers, televisions and fully equipped kitchens.
