Take a boating
holiday on the River Thames or canal cruise on the Tranquil Rose
What is a
hotel boating holiday?
Hotel boats have been cruising the waterways of England for
over fifty years, but are one of the best-kept secrets of the
waterways. If you are one of the many people who have not yet
discovered the unique type of holiday we offer, a brief
explanation is in order. The hotel boat cruises each day,
exploring some of the finest unspoilt English countryside. All
your meals are freshly prepared and cooked on board for you each
day. You have your own comfortable private cabin with hot and cold
running water. The boat is carpeted and centrally heated, and the
expert crew are there to make your cruise one to remember, with
personal service all the way. There are plenty of opportunities to
step ashore, to walk beside the boat
until
you wish to rejoin the other guests on board, or simply sit and
watch the wildlife and scenery pass you by from the well deck at
the front of the boat. Sightseeing is achieved by stops at points
of interest when you can wander off to see some unknown delight of
a village or town, with the boat awaiting your return maybe with
freshly baked cakes and tea. Your fellow guests are no more than
eight in number, and form a small friendly group of like-minded
people.
The
Tourist Board Grading Scheme.
We are proud to announce that our boat has been inspected and our
holidays graded as part of the Tourist Board scheme for hotel
boats. Each year the assessment is based on both the facilities on
board and the quality of our service, but with the emphasis on the
quality aspects of your holiday. By adding the guidance of tourism
experts to our own experience our aim is always to exceed your
expectations of the holiday.
