Had a fabulous time with my sister, the narrowboat was clean, spacious and warm (even in October without the heating). Great fun for all and wonderful pubs along the way, meet lots people along the way. Would recommend.

We have now been on 3 holidays with Black Prince Narrowboat Holidays and we have thoroughly enjoyed them all. The boats are always new and clean, we have found them to be comfortable and have had the opportunity to travel many miles of canals. The customer service is brilliant from start to finish and we would definitely travel with them again.

We had a fabulous weekend on the canal starting at Acton Bridge. The boat itself was absolutely immaculate. We will definitely be repeat customers!

I bought a boat from BPH and had quite a lot of modifications done to the internal layout. The work was carried out professionally and to a very high standard. They assisted in choosing the specifications for a few of the components required as their knowledge within the narrowboat industry is second to none. The team where polite and helpful and kept me updated with the progress of the modifications. I would certainly consider buying another boat from them in the future if required, as they deal with you on a personal level, rather than just another customer. If considering buying a narrowboat, I would recommend Black Prince Narrowboats 100%.

Very organised and comfortable well equipped boats. Particularly like the macerating toilets that keep the smells contained!

Great holiday for first time boaters! We chose the Union Canal as we didn't fancy too many locks and it was perfect for us. Expert guidance given on how to drive the boat and navigate the canals - all of the staff we came across from booking and welcome staff to maintenance and canals staff were brilliant. We loved the narrowboating experience, and the trip to Edinburgh and back was relaxing and enjoyable.

Great service from professional and friendly staff. Nothing too much trouble when rearranging dates during the pandemic and base when informed of stoppages

Disappointing, ☹️☹️ The pick up point was difficult to find, poor signage obscured by trees. Not much of a welcome on arrival. Made to feel guilty for arriving early! Not a marina outfit, just a couple of shed type buildings, We have been on 4 previous “Luxury” Narrowboat holidays and by comparison Black Prince was lacking. There was only one toilet role for the whole week! And No cleaning products provided. Previous Luxury Narrowboat Companies have provided a welcome pack with eco friendly cleaning products and loo rolls due to having a macerator toilet. Therefore, I didn’t buy any to take on board. There was no Microwave, no toaster, no WiFi and poor or no TV signal, despite apparently up grading the aerial, When I stripped the bed before handing the boat back, there where stains on the duvet🤮🤮 Overall we made the best of our holiday, but we won’t be booking with Black Prince again next year. We have already booked with a Luxury family owned company.

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback on your holiday. We are planning on signage improvements for our hire base in Cheshire and we'll take a look at the foliage as well to ensure it's not obscuring the signs - it's a good point. Regarding the duvet stains, we'll get on to that right away. Otherwise, I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations for the inventory on the boat, we do list the inventory on the website and in our brochure and we don't currently offer a microwave, toaster and WiFi. Thanks again for highlighting areas where we can improve and we hope you enjoy your holiday next year.

Our holiday from Napton was brilliant. LIZZIE was clean with bedding, kitchen equipment etc. As good as new. Plenty of room to accommodate our 4 generation family. Staff were friendly and attentive to our requirements. X

2nd time on a black prince narrowboat. The boats are well maintained and fitted out and are kept in very good condition. The handovers are detailed and thorough with a very friendly team at the marinas. Seen a few competitor operators from the same marinas but the black prince fleet always seem to stand out as been the best.

We were greeted at Falkirk by a superb, spotless, comfortable and well equipped boat. Helpful, friendly and professional staff all the way from booking to handing back the boat at the end of the holiday. We had no idea what to expect from narrow boating as this was our first time experience, and thanks to Black Prince we wouldn't hesitate to do this again and book the holiday through them.
