Black Prince

We had a fabulous family holiday on the canals with Black Prince

Loved Canal boating,

We took our children on a few canal boat holidays when they were young, and then our Grandchildren, but now it is our vert tall grown up Grandsons, one of whom is a boat mechanic. The great thing about canal boating is the lovely people you meet, all doing there own thing and enjoying the slow pace, and such beautiful surroundings, making more memories 🥰

Suits everyone

The great thing about having a canal boat is that if you just want to sit you can, if you want exercise you can walk and open locks.

Canal heaven

We regularly watch canal boats in the Thames and would love the peace of a stay on a boat.

Amazing Staycation

We’ve spent many an hour sitting outside the Toby Carvery in Stoke on Trent, whilst admiring your canal boats. Every time we’re visiting our son, we take canal walks in Staffordshire and love watching the boats go by. Would absolutely love to win this for some family quality time, seeing the canals from a different perspective. Fingers crossed 🤞
