If, like us, you've idly admired beautiful narrow boats whilst walking near canals, this fabulous boat and the Lancaster canal are a brilliant place to start. The encouragement from the first contact with Kim to the concise but full handover from Garry provided the confidence which led to a hugely enjoyable 5 day trip on the longest canal stretch with no locks, making it easy for first timers.
It helped that we had decent weather to enjoy amazing autumn colours and the Lune aqueduct and Deep cutting south of Lancaster were highlights, but the best bit was lighting the stove when we moored up each night and enjoying the cosy, well-equipped and surprisingly spacious boat.
Thankyou,
Kim and Garry provide a well cared for boat that is easy to handle, snug and warm and great for a week or two on this interesting and pretty canal. We have just returned from a week’s cruise and had a really good time. The boat is smaller than some but handles well. Garry is well versed in how to work the boat and I am sure his handover is very thorough. We recently sold our own boat on which we lived for six months of the year so I think we have a good idea of boat life. Kim has gone as far as possible to make Blossom Covid safe and if you take enough food and wine you really do not need to go anywhere, just enjoy living on a boat for a week. Moor in the arm on the way out and last night. Below bridge 90 is good as is Hest bank. Both these two are passionate about what they do, it shows in the care and Kim’s interaction with hirers throughout the process. Well done and thanks for looking after us.
We had a lovely holiday on narrowboat Blossom in early October. Garry and Kym took a lot of care in explaining everything at the handover. Blossom performed faultlessly and is a very comfortable boat for two people. The log burning fire made it warm and cosy in the evenings. The Lancaster canal is truly beautiful especially in Autumn. A great holiday and we will certainly be back.
The perfect antidote to the frantic pace of our modern world, time on blossom reconnects you with nature and helps you slow down to enjoy a relaxing break.
With all the things you need on board, blossom is a delight and a gentle companion if you are new to canal boating. Highly recommended
Great boat. My husband and I had a wonderful time last year, just at the start of the very good weather. Magical time and saving up to go back. Well worth a visit on Blossom on the beautiful Lancaster canal.
