I hired Larkspur in September for a 4 day trip. Larkspur exceeded all expectations! We were 6 adults – and the boat comfortably slept all of us – in the two rooms and on the very comfortable sofa bed. The boat is beautifully fitted out, very spacious, and with everything you need. Not only that, it has a lovely wood burning stove which we didn’t really need as the boat is quite warm, but is lovely. Angus is a lovely guy – he spent a good few hours driving with us on the first morning (none of us had driven a barge before), taking us into Bath and back and giving very patient tuition. He also went the extra mile and picked up our shopping from Waitrose that we had pre-ordered, so it was waiting at the boat when we arrived late morning. The stretch of countryside we sailed was beautiful, the boat is simple to drive and a lot of fun. A fantastic experience, great value and we would definitely hire again. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you Angus. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
