I would recommend this holiday as the Kennet –amp–amp; Avon Canal is beautiful – despite the rain and therefore mud we had. Reading Marine Co. was efficient but perhaps assumed that we were a little more experienced than we were.

What do other people say about Lothbury Lady from Heritage Narrow Boats

We did the Cheshire Ring. We completed it in a week but found it very hard going, Not for the faint hearted but well worth the experience. With a little bit of extra hard work we were able to tour to Buxworth Basin, have a lovely meal at the Navigation pub which we would recommend and experience some of the most beautiful canal scenery on the area.
Mrs B from Bollington

This was a very enjoyable holiday, first time we were back on the canals for over 25 years. If you want a holiday that gets you away from it all this is the one for you!
Mr C from Retford

We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip on a narrow boat and have booked two weeks next year!! The boat was very cosy and comfortable. It was very relaxing, and good to be out in the open air all day. The locks were much easier than I thought they would be and we had lots of help from other boaters. We saw lots of herons and kingfishers.
