What visitors say

Gail Morgan

From the moment we arrived, Chris at Floating Holidays Middlewich was fantastic. His knowledge and experience really showed, and he took the time to make sure we were completely confident before setting off. He thoroughly explained how to operate the boat, demonstrated how to work the locks, and provided us with a map showing different routes we could take, which made planning our trip so easy. We stayed on Lady Isabella, and it was an absolutely beautiful boat. It was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. The king-size bed was amazing, and having a TV in the bedroom was a lovely added bonus. We also loved the beautiful starlight ceiling lights, which gave the boat such a cosy and luxurious feel. This has genuinely been the best holiday we’ve ever experienced. Cruising the canals was so relaxing, peaceful and tranquil, and we can’t wait to do it all again. Thank you, Chris, for making our first canal boating holiday such a memorable one. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Floating Holidays Middlewich to anyone.

We just had our first canal boat holiday, 4 nights/5 days on the Lady Isabella. Chris was fantastic at answering our questions and coaching us through our first lock. The boat was very clean and comfortable... especially the king size bed! The little kitchen was well equipped and we cooked most of our meals on board. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic people to do business with, we hired a narrow boat from them which was well equipped and lovely and clean, Chris is an excellent teacher ,after showing us round the narrow boat then explaining how to work it, then taking us through our first lock once we we're all happy we were off on our own. He even gave me his glasses after I lost mine in the canal.
