We think a break along the Monmouth and Brecon Canal by Narrowboat is one of the most relaxing holidays available while also offering a unique family experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our cruise on the Kidwelly Castle. The boat was equipped to a very high standard and the friendliness and efficiency of all staff excellent. In short I would have no hesitation in recommending Castle Narrowboats to any body.<\/p>\n

Yes we had a very good holiday, we called it a great experience, the Barge was excellent, the scenery wonderful and the weather was perfect what more could anyone wish for. Many thanks and best wishes to Joe and the family.<\/p>\n

Just a quickie to say how much my son and I enjoyed our week on Beaumaris Castle. We have tried many boats over the years but the silence of an electric boat was amazing and I would recommend one of these to even the most experienced canal boaters. The canal is very picturesque and charging up now and again is no problem at all. The boat was the best we have had in all ways.<\/p>\n

Dear Nick, Sharon & Family
\nWe would like to say what a wonderful week we had on Pencelli Castle, 25 March to the 1st of April. The weather was good most of the time and the scenery fantastic. The lambs, daffodils, primroses and birdsong, well, what a great time of year to be on the Mon and Brec Canal. The Pencelli Castle is a beautiful boat with all you need and more, immaculate inside and out. Sorry, we were first time narrowboaters so had a few scratches on return! Thankyou very much for all your help and kindness, you’re a great team at Castle Narrowboats.<\/p>\n

Regards, Carol & Phil<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

This was our first time on a narrowboat and we were anxious on the first day. Sharon, Nick and Joe put our minds at ease, they gave us a folder with all the information we needed to know and also told us everything we needed to know about the boat. We dont think you can improve your service as it is first class. Thankyou for the little gifts you left us on the boat, we had a fantastic time, we home to see you again soon.<\/p>\n

The British countryside at its best! Plenty to kep us busy with locks, tunnel, bridges and aquaduct. An enjoyable and relaxing holiday both on the water and walking the towpath. Great to be able to walk to view the reservoir and climb mountains.<\/p>\n

Mr and Mrs Jackson<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Excellent customer service very helpful. Nick was very helpful when we had a slight concern and went the extra mile to help with the locks. Will definitely be back!<\/p>\n

The team at Castle Narrow Boats were absolutely fantastic, even with all of the current constrains (COVID) put upon them. We had 3 boats, all turned out spotless & well equipped.<\/p>\n

You’d want for nothing, everything had been thought of. Sharon had suggested getting a supermarket delivery direct to the boat yard, worked a dream. The briefing’s were 1st class as was the tuition.<\/p>\n

We were blessed with dry weather for the week and thoroughly enjoyed our time sauntering thorough the beautiful Brecon’s, the kids loved all the wildlife we spotted, from fish to birds & farm animals. The pubs\/hostelries were very accommodating.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for a brilliant time.<\/p>\n

We had a wonderful time on the canal and have already told all our friends how brilliant it was. You were all so welcoming and informative when we arrived and we will definitely be returning in the future!<\/p>\n

Thank you for our beautiful holiday on the Mon & Brec, the first visit for myself and Andy although Mum and Dad have been before but several years ago. \u00a0A stunning canal, one of the prettiest I’ve been on. \u00a0To wake up with a view from our bedroom door that cannot be beaten!!<\/p>\n

Thank you for your care and consideration especially in these difficult strange days. \u00a0We felt looked after, safe and appreciated the extra work that was involved. \u00a0We are grateful too for the ease with which we were able to delay our trip from 2020.<\/p>\n

We found the electric boat an interesting experience although the week become over focused on where we could charge the battery and how far we would be able to travel. \u00a0Not a complaint, an honest opinion, as we choose to try the electric and have appreciated the opportunity to do so. We hope, that in the future more charging points will be possible and more companies will take the initiative and bold step that you have.<\/p>\n

We trust you will continue to have a busy summer and future.<\/p>\n

Most importantly we were still very good friends at the end of it!!!!!<\/p>\n

Thank you all

Dear Sharon Nick and Joe,
\nThank you and your \u201cteam\u201d, for accommodating us!
\nJust how lucky we were:-
\nPersonal approach, from start to finish: Everyone of us must bring a smile a smurk and frustration!
\nThe weather was really kind, that week.
\nThe boat had everything, and more than we got to use.
\nAll along our route locals, volunteers and other boat users. Just made for a lovely time.
\nI have already recommended you to other interested people.
\nYou have certainly inspired us into exploring further.<\/p>\n

Thank you all again, you may have to put up with us again!!<\/p>\n

Just a line to say we enjoyed our holiday very much on Pencelli Castle last week – beautiful scenery and a relaxing pace of life. The boat was very well equipped and spotlessly clean so we didn\u2019t want for anything\u00a0 and we appreciated your prompt service to fix our problems.
\nWe\u2019d thoroughly recommend your boats and your professional and friendly service – thank you – we will have many memories.<\/p>\n

Best wishes<\/p>\n

We thoroughly enjoyed our week afloat, despite the constant rain and high winds!<\/p>\n

The boat is very comfortable, with every mod con, and quite easy to operate.
\nWonderfully quiet with its electric motor.<\/p>\n

The countryside of course is magnificent. At 2 mph we could enjoy the full panorama of mountains, wooded valleys and villages.<\/p>\n

Best wishes,<\/p>\n
