Had a lovely stay on the Premier Cru boat. Great location for seeing the city, about a 15 min walk in to the centre of Bath. The location was quiet and the boat was sweet. We enjoyed having a glass of wine in the sunshine "up on deck". Lovely walks nearby. Staff all very helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

Luxury Couples Canal Boat for Hire in the Country

ChrisRating, 5 stars6 months ago

I met Gareth earlier to pick up the keys. I returned later that evening and had a fantastic evening, cooked myself some dinner and watched one of the DVD’s. This really is one of my favourite stays. If you’re looking for a boring hotel room then don’t stay here. If you’re looking for a fantastic cozy getaway then I would recommend this little Gem. Fantastic host and communication. Boat life is certainly for me.

Canal Boat Narrowboat - Derbyshire, England, UK

Ronnie and Steve FinnRating, 5 stars25 months ago

Great opportunity for learning to motor a canal boat for the first time. Adequate for two people and the amenities on boat were also adequate. If one is prepared for a backpack adventure on a canal boat through the Midlands of the UK on the Trent /Mersey canal then this boat offers the opportunity to do so. We enjoyed the experience and the country side with the abundance of birds and water fowls. The surrounding countryside and villages are peaceful and quiet and the folks we met along the way were usually kind and friendly and offered some good canal boating advice. After all we had a great trip and experience and can recommend to any adventurous traveler this canal boat. Great hosts and great stay!

Fantastic stay at David’s and Pyae’s! I felt very welcome and comfortable from the beginning. The boat was lovely and the spot (it changes..) perfect for me. It’s a pity I forgot to arrange that I could have dinner with them, because Pyae’s rice smelled very good:) as was the breakfast. Would definitely choose this place again when visiting Bath.
