Fantastic holiday
First time on a narrow boat on the British canals. We received excellent help choosing the perfect spot for our holiday. We had 8 days in all and had a wonderful time on the Stratford up on Avon and The Grand Canal. All the locks where both hard work and great fun. We would like to do it again.
Waterways were brilliant to deal with

Excellent customer service for booking process
Very clear and simple instructions for making a booking request online. Followed up with a phone call from the company; the lady who dealt with my booking was very polite and helpful, giving full information about what was included in the reservation and all terms and conditions etc.. She also took time to find out answer to a question I had regarding particular facilities; she made enquiries with the boat operator on my behalf and then phoned me back within half an hour with the answer.

Easy process
Once we’d reserved our holiday online we got a callback as soon as the office was open. Everything was gone through and explained clearly and we were able to book and pay for our holiday over the phone with no problems.
