What do other people say about Romantic Lady from Maestermyn Cruisers

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.
