Another great holiday on Duke No3 with Neil and crew and lovely guest, Margaret, John and Sandra. We could not have asked for better weather, sunshine nearly every day. I enjoyed working the locks to make up for eating so much lovely food! See you next year!

Back in my happy place again. Absolutely wonderful weather and amazing scenery. Thank you so much Neil and Crew and of course Henry for one of the top cruises I've ever done with you.

Cynthia - May 24 - Nottingham to Stone

Thanks for another lovely holiday. Already looking forward to the next one.

Steve & Carol - May 24 - Nottingham to Stone

There's white BLOSS-om, white SWANS and white WAT-er. Eatin' MORE lovely MEALS than we OUGHT-er. And BIG roomy CAB-ins, (well, SORT-er). But the THINGS you can't BEAT. Are the FRIENDS that you MEET. And WAT-er that's FLAT-ter that FLAT. Then it's BACK to mid-WALES, and that's THAT. Beautiful, surprisingly lovely countryside, and good company. 

Gillian - May 24 - Nottingham to Stone

Another great holiday, even a good dose of sunshine this time. Lovely countryside and a visit to the National Memorial Arboretum. Neil and Henry the same as every (and that's a good thing!) - I'll be back.

Chris - June - Nottingham to Braunston

More beautiful countryside to enjoy plus the excitement of the Foxton and Watford flights to slightly mitigate the damage to my waste line from an abundance of great food. I hope the rest of the season has similarly decent weather and problems get fixed before you have to actually change route. Thanks, and see you next year.

Another wonderful week on Duke No3 - hot sunshine and freezing winds but all thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks to Neil and crew for all their kindness and fantastic meals! Looking forward to the next one!
