We’re in Summer… Why Haven’t You Booked Your Summer Holidays Yet?
Summer is officially here – the days are long, the sun is out (mostly!), and the British countryside is bursting into life. Yet, if you’re still scrolling through travel websites trying to figure out where to go, one question remains: why haven’t you booked your summer holiday yet?
If you’ve been putting it off, you’re not alone. The good news is, there’s still time to book a holiday that’s unique, relaxing, and closer to home than you think.
Why a Narrowboat Holiday Might Be the Answer
While many people automatically think of beaches or city breaks, a narrowboat holiday offers a completely different kind of escape. It’s peaceful, scenic, and gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace.
Based right here in Warwick, we offer both narrowboat day hire and longer canal boat holidays that take you through some of the most stunning waterways in the country.
Avoid the Airport Stress
Let’s face it – the thought of airports in peak summer season is enough to make anyone reconsider. With a canal boat holiday, there’s no need for passports, long queues, or last-minute cancellations. Simply turn up, hop aboard, and you’re off on a stress-free journey.
Explore Warwickshire from the Water
Hiring a narrowboat gives you a new way to experience the heart of England. Cruise along the Grand Union Canal, visit waterside villages, stop off at pubs, explore the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, or take in the view at Hatton Locks.
You’re not just travelling – you’re creating memories at every turn.
A Slower Pace of Life
One of the biggest draws of canal holidays is the slower, more mindful way of living. It’s not about racing from A to B – it’s about enjoying the journey. From watching herons glide across the water to stargazing from the deck at night, life aboard a narrowboat is calm, refreshing, and unforgettable.
Perfect for Families, Couples, and Groups
Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a romantic break for two, or a catch-up with friends, we’ve got a boat to suit. Kids love the adventure of helping with locks, and grown-ups love the tranquillity and fresh air.
