Comments and Reviews:
Seem to have some good reviews in the forums
for those looking for small craft to accommodate two or three people.
The Llangollen canal (originally the Ellesmere canal) is probably
one of the most popular, picturesque and memorable canals in the UK
leading to the famous
Pontcysllte aqueduct, the crossing of
which can never be forgotten as you get to look down which on the River Dee from some 120ft above.
Spectacular views of the surrounding
countryside ... once you have overcome your fear of heights, though a sensation
a little unnerving from the platform of a Narrowboat, but splendidly
exhilarating all the same.
Prices for a 2/3 berth from £380 ( March) to £780 (Aug)
includes fuel and parking
Comments from the Forums:
"We used Bettisfield
boats .... a small family concern which had two small trads .... boats
were brand new though so were spotless. Very friendly people to deal
with and very reasonable rates."
"Best value we have found is
Bettisfield on the Llangollen.
....
Small, but nicely fitted out"
