Guide To Ellerbeck Narrowboats

Fantastic day on the canal. The kids loved it and the the boat was very easy to handle. Great experience all round and we will definitely book again.

Lovely day with great introduction into how to use a narrow boat. No issues with children and a dog too. Basic facilities but enough to make a pot of tea and bacon butties- what more could you need! Thanks for the warm welcome.

Fantastic day on the canal. Friendly staff, lovely boats and a sunny day – what more can you ask for.

If you are thinking of something different give this a go.

Great day out. safety briefing was good, knowledge friendly staff who had lots of advice. the boat itself was basic but had pretty much everything you need. no fridge though on the boat we were on (green) so if you’re taking chilled food or drinks take a some ice packs and a cooler bag. Loads of hot water, clean toilets. great views on the route with loads of wildlife spotting for the kids.

Enjoyed a fantastic day on the canal aboard ‘Crossley’ from Ellerbeck Narrowboats.

Booking was very straightforward via the website and great communication throughout from Lucien, being offered a choice of arrival times. Upon arrival, we were taken through a safety briefing and induction before setting off on our trip. The boat was very well presented and had all necessary cooking and toilet facilities onboard.

We enjoyed a damp but very enjoyable day exploring the canal, seeing the wildlife and stopping off at The Bridge Inn, Adlington for refreshments.

Could not fault the whole experience and would definitely recommend. Looking forward to booking again in the future.
