For all those first timers or people that love canal boats then the Canal Weekend starting on 5th April is going to be something pretty special.
Our 69ft canal boat is homely and comfortable and provides games, a guitar, games, ipod dock for music and an honesty bar.
Your hosts Mark & Ruth are on-hand to prepare your delicious home-cooked food and look after the boat maintenance. You are there to relax and enjoy the whole leisurely weekend experience.
Fancy a go at steering? Fancy helping with the locks? Thats up to you but you can be as involved as you want and sit back as much as you feel!
