Really Good Experience

★★★★★
Our first narrowboat experience and the staff at Crest were excellent. Boat was in good condition, no mechanical issues at all. Allowed us to pick up the boat early and get on the water. Great introduction and walk round at pickup along with a short cruise where the staff member came with us and made sure we knew how to turn the boat. Llangollen canal has a bit of everything for a first timer. Two viaducts, tunnels, and a couple of locks. The advice to head to Ellesmere first before attempting Llangollen is well worth following as some practice before navigating the narrows was very useful. Also by heading for Llangollen later in the week we seemed to miss the worst of the traffic. Would highly recommend Crest!
