Luxury Travel reviews a Llangollen Canal break with Springer spaniel George

Llangollen Canal break review

July 8, 2026/in Uncategorized/by Debbie Ludford

A Luxury Travel Blog has reviewed a canal boat holiday on the Llangollen Canal.

Setting off from our narrow boat hire base at Whitchurch, Dr Paul Johnson of A Luxury Travel Blog has published a Llangollen Canal break review.

The review has detailed information about the boat, including images of the cabins, shower room, dining area and galley.

Paul and his family took their Springer spaniel George with them and he apparently ‘loved the experience!’

They travelled to the historic market town of Ellesmere and back and visited Cole Mere along the way.

Paul says the highlight of the trip was ‘how collaborative it is’ forcing ‘everyone to muck in together’.

You can read Paul’s ‘Starks Lark, Llangollen Canal’ review here.
