What do other people say about Stourport from Anglo Welsh

It was a great get away-from-it-all type of holiday. Very good for my eldest son and myself to do things together and rely on each other. I would recommend it to anyone in a similar position with teenage boys. Might be a bit tough for some girls as some of the locks were heavy to wind.
