Guide To Whittington Wharf Narrowboats

I cannot recommend Whittington Wharf Narrowboats enough. The entire process was flawless. Kate was a great help with choosing a boat and where to go before we even booked. We booked the Majestic. When we arrived we got a full run through of every system on the boat and rules and procedures and even had a driving lesson for several hundred yards. The boat was in tip top shape. We made it all the way to Langollen and back in 3 days. This place really made our trip memorable.

Had the Clockwork boat which was very well laid out with reverse layout (kitchen at front). Was a nice, clean and comfortable boat. Log burner was very useful with the colder nights onboard. Accidentally knocked the rope into water while in tunnel that got wrapped around propeller. Thanks to Alan who came to our rescue to remove the rope which took an hour to removed. Excellent service. Will be back for more. Thanks Del, Ali and Henry the dog

Would recommend, easy booking, great value for money. Lovely clean, spacious boat, friendly staff, exception service from start to end👍will book again

I just returned from a two week trip on narrowboat Mallard from Whittington Warf Narrowboats. WOW. I had a great time. everything worked out perfectly. The boat was great for the trip. I was able to see all the sights including aqueducts, tunnels and some of the most beautiful countryside. The staff at Whittington Warf went above and beyond to ensure that I had a great trip. I would highly recommend them. 5 stars!

What a find! Whittington Wharf Narrowboats is a small family business that really cares and does everything possible to ensure you enjoy your canal break.

The booking process was smooth & easy; Sandra and Kate were so helpful. We were all greeted on arrival and Stephen spent time going over engine operation / steering and the use of all onboard appliances, along with particular attention to safety on board, and even route information.

“Sunrise” was so well appointed with every possible comfort – even sun chairs; and at 6ft 6, I could stand up inside without banging my head!

Our break was an absolute pleasure and we would certainly book again; based on our photos alone, some friends have already booked their break.

Sincere thanks to you all at Whittington Narrowboats for a really memorable break.
