Four of us went on our canal boat holiday and had a fantastic time. We are looking forward to another trip. We have absolutely no complaints and have already recommended it to several people and we have only just got back. We only wished that we had had a week instead of the four days. Three of us were first-timers and the staff at the boatyard could not have been more helpful.
Mrs G from Steyning

I would recommend this holiday as it was a fun thing to do with the kids as we all had to muck in.
Mrs S from Milton Keynes

A real “Back in Time” break away from the hussle and bussle of modern life. A slow tour through the beautiful countryside, close up experience of the resurgence of nature, such as the number of dragon flies, ducks and sygnets, combined with exercise. Added bonus of excellent pubs and restaurants dotted along the way, and like minded people.
