We are a family owned business with self drive narrowboats for weekends and short breaks, and week long holidays from both bases, and also have boats available for longer hire periods.
This is not camping on water, the boats come equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday afloat, fully equipped galley (including fridge and 4 hob gas cooker), a bathroom with a flushing toilet, and a shower, plenty of hot water, central heating and a TV for the days you need to catch up with the real world! Don’t forget with narrowboat hire the boat is the holiday, you don’t need to allow for those expensive days out during the week! Our quoted prices INCLUDE diesel and damage waiver (and linen and car parking) – if you are comparing prices with other narrowboat holiday firms make sure you compare like for like!
Star ratings for each narrowboat are displayed on the relevant pages, and online availability and reservation is now also a feature, but please feel free to phone or email if you would like to discuss your canal holiday plans.

These boats are often referred to as “barges”, as in “Can we hire a barge?” “I want to go on a barging holiday”, however the proper name for them is narrowboats, or canal boats, and let’s not talk about longboats!
