Rose Narrowboats

Not decided where to go for your holidays in 2019 yet??
Why not take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and go on a canal holiday.
We have 14 boats ranging from 2 to 10 berths and you can take a short break or a full week or as much time as you want to explore the UK by canal.
... All our boats have a comprehensive inventory with everything that you need so all you need to bring are your clothes and food although there are many excellent pubs, restaurants and cafes either directly alongside the canal or a short walk into a local village or town where you can explore.
Not done it before?? - No problem our engineers will show you everything that you need to know and will even accompany you along the canal until you are competent to go on your own.

All our prices include fuel, VAT, gas, car parking and training so there are no hidden extras.
