Comments and Reviews:
The company has been around for about 25 years, which means that it has at least learnt to survive in the business and the base at Napton on the junction of the Grand Union and the Oxford Union should offer a good choice of interesting routes to choose from, including the Warwickshire Ring the Leicester Ring, the South Oxford Canal and of course Stratford on Avon and surrounds with its Shakespearian associations

Full sized ovens are offered, which are not a feature on every hire boat, usually you get something that might just accommodate a chicken, but not roast potatoes as well, unless you are a little devious.

Cruiser stern boats in Green and White.
As the company also builds and repairs , the fleet should be in good repair.

2011 prices  £807 (March )  £1476 ( Aug) plus fuel
Various discounts available for longer term hire etc...

Recommended routes include:

South Oxford Canal

Warwickshire ring

Leicester Line  ... to Foxton inclined plane

Comments from the Forums:
Generally a few good coments about the company, though I found nothing specifically about the hire side of the business  ... no news is often good news.
