As first timers we didn’t really know what to expect but we had a very relaxing and fun weekend with everyone joining in and taking a turn on the tiller and doing the locks. I would definitely recommend this type of holiday to groups of friends wanting to do something a bit different. Even a spot of rain didn’t put us off!
Mrs P from Crawley

We really enjoyed our boating break with friends, it was great fun!
Mrs W from Leicester

This was our first canal boat experience – we all had a fantastic time and are definitely hooked!
Mrs B from Oldham

The experience of pottering along the canal simply cannot be outdone!
Mrs F from Swindon

Narrowboat holidays are great fun for a group of friends or a family. There are canals all over the country and so there is lots of choice and you are able to explore different locations every time.
Mr T from Derby

We would recommend this holiday, providing you like active holidays, and hope to book another one in the future. Great base to explore the various canals and routes.

What do other people say about Contentment from Napton Narrowboats

Always buy a guide to the route you are taking. I have purchased this guide on both trips I’ve taken with your company and I cannot stress just how important this is. Everyone on the boat reads it and as soon as they begin to understand it, they refer to it hourly to check where exactly they are. Additionally, the information it provides about pubs, moorings, the area, etc is first class.
Mr K from Witney

Narrowboat holidays are great, we went as an extended family and really got to know each other better. Spending a week in close proximity to each other and not having the daily interuptions of TV and computers was fantastic, board games and good old fashioned conversation was the order of each day!! With two narrowboat holidays under our belt we will definitely do it again!
Mrs A from York

The South Oxfordshire canal is a delight with lots of variety, and is very peaceful. The boatyard staff are helpful and good natured, and did all they could to ensure we had an enjoyable holiday.
