Description

Narrow Escape is available for
Long weekends (Fri-Mon)
Mid-week trips (Mon-Fri)
1 or 2 week holidays
Long term bookings considered
The boat has a fully working galley area with a gas cooker, sink and fridge. The lounge is big enough for all 6 to sit comfortably around the table to eat and the table can be stowed away to make a spacious sitting area. There is a bathroom with a washbasin, toilet and shower.
The foredeck is a safe area for children to sit and watch the beautiful Somerset and Wiltshire countryside glide past or to feed the ducks and swans from.
The 38hp diesel engine is ample enough power to guide the boat along the Kennet & Avon canal offers good control into locks and canal-side mooring.
In short, this boat has everything needed for a fantastic holiday with a difference and the recent refit provides comfort and style for your time on board.
