Willow Wren Canal Boat & Narrowboat Breaks

My girlfriend and I decided to spend a weekend aboard a narrow boat, and the best option we found was willow wren in Rugby. And aren't we glad we did, very pleasant and helpful staff, the boat was immaculate and frankly one of the best short weekends we've had. Thank you to everyone!

The boat was good except for some issues with the electrics. But once we'd learned to live with them we had a great holiday on 'Beatrice'. Would recommend it. But think twice before you go on your own for the first time. I went with a disabled person who wasn't able to help with the physical side of narrowboating (mooring, locks, etc.).

Very helpful and informative. We'll equipped boats. Plenty of information. Very friendly staff. Would recommend taking your own proper canal boat map book highlighting routes, water points and ideal moorings.

Boat all ready at 9 at am sharp. Quick and concise lesson from Deb..very efficient. Good handover for dayboat. Run up to Ansty and back by 5.30. No locks so an easy run. Jenny Wren wanders a bit if you don't concentrate! Good day out. No many pubs on this stretch of canal....making a pub lunch a difficulty.

We've had a FANTASTIC boating holiday thanks to Debbie, Jan and Chris from Willow Wren. It was our first time and we couldn't have chosen a better hire company. From booking to handing the boat back we knew the team is there to answer any questions and offer help if needed. Brilliant communication. The boat was impeccably clean and had everything we needed for a very comfortable holiday. We appreciated household supplies which helped us maintain sparkling cleanliness we had on the first day. ...
