Rose was the first boat to have been built by Brayzel Narrowboats of Garstang and has all of the characteristics, clever design and wonderful craftsmanship we enjoy onboard our other Brayzel boats, Poppy and Honeysuckle. Rose has just undergone major refurbishment for the 2019 season. Thank you to the wonderful guys at Brayzel Narrowboats and Neil Cross for the great work they have done on Rose's makeover.
A spacious deck gives you plenty of room to sit and watch the beautiful Lancashire countryside drift by at leisurely 3mph. What a great way to unwind. Poppy features mobile device charging points throughout, 2 televisions and all the comforts of home. Booking a break on Poppy is very simple. Call Sylvia on 01253 356 399 or book online below.
Brand new for 2020, the stunning and luxurious Honeysuckle is the latest addition to our little fleet. She has been custom-built to our specifications by our good friends at Brayzel Narrowboats of Garstang. She is a breathtaking, modern and very comfortable boat with a fixed double bed and seating areas which will convert to 2 further double beds.

I stayed on Rose, beautiful little boat which was perfect for a first timer. Although it's a two berth there was myself, husband and two teenagers (and a small dog). We were more than comfortable with… everything we could possibly need. Lots to see as you bob along and the boating community are so friendly. Sylvia and Kate are lovely too and explain everything before sending you on your way. Can't wait to book again.

The boat was Dirty,took over a hour to clean and put the Curtains back on the track.Smelt of sewage all week.Could not put water in sink in bathroom as plug leaked,Shower could not control so scalding hot water. The contains of the boat were not as advertised,one egg cup for up to 4 people,No tea cloth.all the cups were marked in side and brown.are ported to owner but no reply I suppose this is what to expect if you go to a tin pot company.

We really enjoyed our three night stay on Poppy. The boat is a few years old but looks brand new and everything worked like it should. The owners spent a good 40 minutes or more showing us around and taking us for a training cruise, after which we set off for a fun holiday at 3 mph. Our two young children enjoyed the ride as well, not to mention the costumes provided by Sylvia. The canal itself is beautiful and secluded, yet we were never too far from shops, pubs, and even a children's fun farm. Highly recommend this company, this boat, and this canal!

Fantastic boats and people, Michael and Sylvia are very friendly people that make the whole process of hiring a boat joy. The boats are perfect in every way and the canal is a stunning place to be and they are dog friendly. Highly recommended for canal boat hire whether it's a short weekend break or for a full weeks holiday.

Just got home from a fantastic week on Poppy, and the weather was pretty good too, which was a bonus. Poppy is a lovely boat with all you need for a comfortable, enjoyable cruise on the Lancaster Canal. Thanks so much to Sylvia for all your help, Me, Sue and Joey the dog had a great time. Will be recommending to all my friends. Thanks again!
