Reasons to take a narrowboat holiday

5 Star Stories have reviewed their boating holiday on the Kennet & Avon Canal

Setting off from our base at Hilperton on the Kennet & Avon Canal, 5 Star Stories cruised to Bath and back and published 5 reasons to take a narrowboat holiday.

From slowing down and disconnecting, to feeling part of a community and learning to pack light, Janine from 5 Star Stories explains why the novelty of canal boat life had her “hooked”.

She says, “Taking a canal boat holiday in the UK is unlike any other vacation. It’s a unique blend of slow-paced travel, hands-on navigation, and beautiful surroundings.”

Drifters offers canal boat holidays on the Kennet & Avon Canal from six locations: Bath; Monkton Combe; Bradford on Avon; Hilperton; Devizes; and Aldermaston.
