Guest comments.........
Sally Owen - Just a short note to thank you for an absolutely fantastic holiday. We had four marvellous days aboard 'Wilson's Chaos' from 1st - 4th September. 4 adults on a 6 berth boat, spacious and comfortable. The staff before and after our trip were very helpful . Even the occasional heavy downpour could not dampen our spirits, it all added to the adventure. Above all it was so relaxing.As novices we were a little concerned at first with the locks etc but everyone on the canal was so helpful. We will definitely be coming again and we cannot wait.
