We have just got home from holiday on Y-Fenni Castle and we would all like to thank you for supplying such a brilliant boat. It was very well equipped with all we needed and such a luxury to have a nice hot shower. It was our first encounter with a canal boat holiday but I'm sure it won't be the last.
