Throughly enjoyed our first narrow boat experience aboard Julie, a well equipped, immaculate boat. Really good company to deal with and our trip was made all the more easy following an expert introduction from Ian, whose patience and humour got us off to the best start! We will return!

Recently completed the Stourport Ring from Stoke Prior wharf. A thoroughly enjoyable trip - our boat Helene performed faultlessly and as usual the canal folk were very welcoming. Also met some very chilled characters under many of the Birmingham bridges accompanied by the sweet smell of cannabis! The river Severn section was great fun and wide enough for my wife to take the helm (she’s refused to do so on the canals although she is a much better driver than me). Plenty of wonderful countryside and wildlife and great not being able to rush. Stopped at the excellent Black Country Museum (have to pre-book due to COVID) and also really enjoyed the tunnels. Would thoroughly recommend this holiday.

Everything went like clockwork. Good clear briefing about how to operate the boat and rules of sailing the canals. We set off with more confidence than we had anticipated.

A narrowboat holiday with the in-laws. What could possibly go wrong? Nothing! It was perfect; even if the weather was less so! We had a relaxing holiday on the Oxford Canal starting out from Lower Heyford and travelling north, through Banbury, to Cropredy. Lovely Oxfordshire countryside with stops en-route. The narrowboat was in tip-top condition and we soon learned boat handling, operating locks and not banging your head on the exit hatch too often. A well equipped kitchen, sorry, galley, with a full sized fridge and a decent cooker was a plus.

Great holiday, really comfy boat with everything we needed. The people at the boat yard were great and so helpful. Would thoroughly recommend the company and the route, it was a brilliant and relaxing break and we will return.

Lovely trip in Cheshire. Boat was perfect, clean well equipped. Very helpful handover, explained everything very thoroughly so felt quite confident when set off - a few zig zags but soon got the hang of it! Definitely book again, thank you.

I can not fault Black Prince at all, the whole process from start to finish has been excellent. The boats were exactly as per description, comfortable with all the necessary equipment. The staff who briefed us on arrival couldn't have been more helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Any issue where dealt with and managed effectively. Even when something wasn't there fault the support and help we received was second to none. I would not only recommend the company but the holiday as a whole. As a family of four with kids aged 9 and 12 it is a fantastic holiday, even the dog loved it!

The induction to our 3 day trip was prefect and the staff at Stoke Prior were friendly, polite, and patient. When we called them during our trip for assistance (after our error) they were with us in no time and their attitude was excellent. The whole trip was amazing and the boat had everything we needed. Thanks to Stoke Prior - excellent job!

We tried to leave it as long as we could to see if things may change but in the end we had to our booking for June /July 2021 I live in Canada and due to the unknowns and current Canadian travel restrictions it just wasn't going to work . It could not of been easier to change the booking to the 2022 with no hassle or extra costs . Excellent service and fast response's from Black Prince . Thanks Bob for the great service

A very enjoyable October family break, would definitely recommend. Our three children of ages ranging from 10 to 16 all enjoyed themselves. The Caldon canal is winding and narrow in parts, which tests the skill of a novice boat handler. Challenging at times but great fun as well. A quick but detailed handover by friendly Black Prince Staff member. Looking forward to doing it all again one day!

Great mid-week break in the autumn half-term from Stoke-on-Trent up the Caldon Canal in the midst of the Covid saga. Boat well-appointed and clean and a good quick handover by the courteous staff. Price was very nice too! Much appreciated being asked for feedback in person when we handed the boat back.
