It is wonderfully relaxing with amazing crew and food and opportunities for strolls whilst crossing locks.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I would say so.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Just what I needed: time to relax and read in comfort, bolstered with delicious food, watch the countryside slowly going by, gentle strolls and mooring in a marvellous bay on the last night. NOT for people who need an activity-filled vacation.Kay Saunders review 10 May 2024
