Excellent holiday for unwinding and getting away from it all magnificent scenery and you meet such nice people on the canal (on the whole)
Mrs W from Poulton-Le-Fylde

The canal is beautiful, the trip up to Llangollen is particularly amazing with the aqueducts and viaducts. The variety of wild flowers, plants, trees and bird and animal life was also worth the experience.
Mrs W from Portsmouth

We booked Romantic Lady as the first week of our honeymoon and it was just what we wanted. Peaceful, relaxing and easy-going and the boat was undersold as the facilities on board far exceeded our expectations. The location was lovely, Llangollen is a beautiful area, all the other boaters were friendly, as were all the tow-path users.
Mrs C from Leicester

This was our first canal boating holiday. We had an amazing week –amp–amp; met so many people who were really friendly –amp–amp; helpful. The staff @ Maestermyn cruisers, Whiitington were really friendly and we were given good instructions –amp–amp; shown what we would need to do. We would just like to say Thank you and looking forward to going again next year.

I’d been on a holiday like this before and had told my new husband and my family what a great time I’d had. It took two years to persuade them to take this holiday but I can now happily say, we’re all doing it again next year! A first class experience!
Mrs S from Edinburgh

The boating trip (our 2nd in 9 months) it is so relaxing. The kids loved the adventure of living on a boat, feeding the swans and ducks and playing the odd pirate game, and as parents, we loved the feeling of taking time out. Mooring and keeping the boat on the river can be a good laugh for first timers. I would definitely recommend a boating holiday to anybody, young or old.
