Drake is a beautiful boat, it is luxury and the attention to detail was excellent. I found the welcome & reception by your staff exemplary, nothing was too much trouble. Overall I would highly recommend your company.

Description
Drake, the dining room already nicknamed the best inside viewing platform of the canal. This luxurious and newest 4-berth narrowboat has two 5ft ensuite double bedrooms with top quality comfort. In the dining area there is an abundance of seating and a large dining table, the only boat with lowered windows will provide you with the breath taking views. Drake has the largest shower room of the fleet. There is a log fire for you to sit around in the evenings, catching the last of the sun. Drake, like all of our other narrow boats is full of home comforts, with a fully equipped kitchen and closing doors in between cabins for extra privacy, making it perfect for two couples.

We had an amazing time! The staff were kind, helpful and professional. The boat was meticulously clean, and fitted out with everything we needed, and, well, quite luxurious, actually! Our Beacon Park Boats narrowboat canal trip was the best part of our trip to the UK!
Thank you for a wonderful experience! We came all the way from Idaho in Yellow Stone National Park!
This was our first time on a canal holiday and this first thing to say is that these aren't just any barges, these are the creme de la creme, the Fortnum and Mason, the Ritz of barges. Nothing flashy - although the top of the range cordless Dyson (fully charged obviously) was quite bling - just high quality, perfectly specced interior that made relaxing easy. Egyptian cotton bedding? tick. Nespresso? tick. Neatly filed instruction manual for every single electronic piece of equipment? tick. As amateurs, it's hard to overstate the simple pleasure of knowing that every eventuality had been thought of and catered for aboard. It would be remiss not to mention the welcoming and friendly staff who offered prosecco on arrival and completed an efficient briefing before sending us on our way. Equally helpful when returning the boat at the end of our three night break. Congratulations too all involved in this well run, high quality operation - we look forward to returning.
