An excellent team met us at Bradford-upon-Avon and sorted us out with our boat. I did think though that we had been upgraded to a Signature boat, but on arrival one was not moored so I assumed I must have got that wrong, so didn't question it! However, on looking at my booking on my return I noticed that I was correct... Also, at Netham Lock we were surprised when we had to pay an additional £45, in order to sail through to moor up in Bristol. Something we had not been advised off. All in all though an extremely enjoyable trip and maybe one day we'll get to experience a Signature Boat...

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Mrs Bryant. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your trip to Bristol. You raise a good point regarding the mooring fees, we'll ensure that our team at Bradford-upon-Avon brief our guests on that. Regarding the Signature boats, the blue livery boats with the new logo are our Signature range, it looks like you were on Siena, so you did experience the new range, we hope you found it comfortable. Hope to welcome you again soon, best, Jo

We loved the canal boat experience! Peaceful, tranquil and an adventure! We were lucky with the weather as we didn’t have any rain (which everyone told us we would have in Wales)

We have been on a lot of canal holidays, Black Prince aren't the cheapest, so we have tried other companies, but as they say ' you get what you pay for' And we always go back to Black Prince. The boats are reliable and well maintained. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The handover is detailed and we always leave the marina confident about where we are going and what we are doing. It never ceases to amaze us how many other holidaymakers are allowed to set off in a hire boat without knowing the basics about how to steer a boat or operate a lock and those hire companies should be embarrassed at the service they provide as it gives holiday boats a bad name.

The boat was clean and tidy. Would advise you check the fuel gauge before you leave and when you return. Need a canopy for the Pilot it was boiling and there was no shade. Need a map of the locks and the pubs so you know when you will reach them, something like the London tube map. Wouldn’t advise going to Devises from Bradford on Avon. 36 locks each way, too much like hard work. Needed a holiday when we returned.

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.

There are so many positives and we had a great time. The boat was clean and tidy, if a little under maintained at times. My one big criticism is having phoned ahead and spoken to the boat yard about the fact we were arriving in two separate groups and that we, coming from Kent would not get there until 9pm which I was told wouldn’t be an issue. My parents who arrived first were told they had to leave the marina and park on the main canal and that we could walk around to them when we got there. When we arrived, having got stuck in traffic, at ten pm - there was no way to get around, not least laden with all of our belongs - which there was b way to transport! Meaning that my parents had to reverse back into the marina in the dark.

Our party consisted of 2 adults and 3 teens, we had a lovely holiday, very relaxing and the boat was ideal, I think we should’ve booked a larger one for our party, one to learn from in the future. We went from Ely to St Ives then on to Cambridge and back, stunning scenery and wildlife, the pace of the boat and the river life meant we actually had a holiday, which was exactly what we all needed. I’d highly recommend Black Prince, they were incredibly helpful and accommodating
