Fantastic week away on Pearlbrook. Lovely little narrowboat, even if she did like going left. Great atmosphere at the boat yard with a welcoming and fun team. Fastastic food on a Friday evening too. Disappointed we missed the elastic band fight 😂

Had our first canal boat holiday with clifton cruisers last year and during our week we had a few problems with the boat which meant we didn't get to go as far as we would have liked to have gone (due to having to keep stopping ) and waiting for someone to come out to us and fix the problems. When returning the boat back on our last day we was asked to go into the office before we went home and to our shock we was offered a 4 night free holiday for the inconvenience we had. We booked up again this year and extended our holiday and paid to extra money and today was our day to have our family holiday

Clifton Cruisers are excellent and very well organised. We hired the boat called Pearlbrook for 4 nights and they explained all the controls and gave us a quick lesson in steering before sending us on our way. The boat was just the right size for 2 of us and had all the equipment needed. Jacks was very pleasant to deal with and very clear with the check in and check out. Thanks to all the staff, we will be back again!

This was our first experience on a canal boat holiday with Clifton Cruisers which we had hired for a week. The staff were wonderful in showing us the works and in a way that gave us the confidence we had much needed as we were nervous. They were just a phone call away and were ever so helpful. Our boat was clean, comfortable and welcoming. Would recommend Clifton Cruisers.

Well run outfit, great staff and quality boats. Had a great holiday on canal boat Sapphire with friends. Boat was was a dood spec, other boaters commented on the quality of the fittings, especially the Armatige Shanks Belfast sink! Went to Market Harborough and back over 7 days and never had a dull moment. Great fun. Thank you again C.C.
