To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

A pleasurable booking.
We booked the boat we thought would suit our needs and the next morning I got the confirmation phone call and all the necessary information. Payment was made and an easy trouble free experience was a pleasure to remember.

Fantastic holiday
First time on a narrow boat on the British canals. We received excellent help choosing the perfect spot for our holiday. We had 8 days in all and had a wonderful time on the Stratford up on Avon and The Grand Canal. All the locks where both hard work and great fun. We would like to do it again.
