Reviews
Fantastic holiday and Fantastic boat all round!
What a wonderful holiday we had on our holiday canal boat the Hobby. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed, we received a glass of bubbles and everything was well explained. Lisa sailed with us for a while and then we had a wonderful week of sailing. In short it was FANTASTIC
By far the best narrowboat hire we’ve ever had. You should be very proud of your offering which is in a different league to other hirers.
