Accommodation that goes wherever you go…

The Kennet and Avon Canal is a popular navigable waterway crossing Southern England from Bristol to Reading.

The gentle pace of the canal has a seductive charm of its own, allowing the opportunity to study the prolific wildlife which inhabits the canal and the surrounding environment.

After a morning or day’s cruising, you may have developed a healthy appetite.  Satisfying this hunger isn’t difficult with a host of waterside pubs available along the canal.  Many of these grew up with the canal and thus have interesting stories to tell.  Apart from quenching the cruiser’s thirst the majority of them serve a variety of good food, ranging from a bar snack to a three course meal.

My new wife Miriam and I hired a Sally Narrow Boat as part of our honeymoon over the past couple of weeks. We would like to thank Sally Narrow Boats and the team there for a great trip from start to finish.

They gave a lovely surprise on our arrival with a thoughtful wedding gift of flowers, balloons and a small gift which came in handy on our trip. The boat we used Leah, was well maintained and in perfect condition. Everything we could need on our trip was there and we were well informed on how to use and operate the boat and its facilities, plus a great user guide and map file on board.

Once again thanks to Sally Narrow Boats and the friendly team there in the UK!

Our first adventure aboard the day boat Emily Katherine with Grandad & daddy playing captain for the day and the children being skippers (grandma & mummy did the hard work at the locks -) – what an amazing family day out ! The instructions we were given gave us the confidence to navigate the locks and feel safe as we headed off towards bath, we almost got to Dundas after stopping for a picnic and a stop off at the cross guns for a drink. The boat is well equipped with kitchen essentials including a hob, kettle and fridge etc. Will definitely be back again as everyone had a great time.
