“Lovely experience of sleeping on a boat”
It was a great experience to sleep on a boat for the first time and the area by the canal is magical. The host is extremely nice and welcoming. He also runs a nice restaurant where you can eat after a long active day in the area.

“A really unforgettable experience”
The atmosphere was very relaxing . The barge was big enough. The breakfast brought to you was a very pleasant experience.. Microwave in the room was a plus , as we came late and on had ready meals.

This is a great place to stop and the proprietor is kind and helpful. It's best to think of this as camping as against an hotel. The accommodation is charming and good value for money.
