What visitors say
We went on a cruise last Thursday for our son's birthday. We just can't thank enough Lynn and John for their fabulous company and sharing their knowledge of the area. Such a lovely couple!!! Our son said the Albert was an epic place and he had the most amazing experience, really fantastic memories to share when he will be older. We were lucky to have a gorgeous warm weather too. Thank you everyone for welcoming us so warmly and being so kind too. Highly highly highly recommended!!! ❤️

We went on the canal boat ride today from Papermill lock and it was so much fun. The volunteers on the boat were so knowledgeable and really involved everyone, they do such a good job. We would definately recommend it!
