First time on a canal boat, and I would highly recommend!
We were a group of 12 people with 2 dogs on 2 boats, we had plenty of space for all of us, all the amenities were provided, comfortable beds and clean bedding, the only thing we had to bring were towels!
We had around a 30 minute thorough instruction on how to use the boat and do the locks and we were off.
Overall great 3 days of sunshine on the boat!
