Grand Union Narrowboats, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

5.0 (103 reviews) Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Northamptonshire Boat Rentals

First-class experience

We would like to echo all the other positive reviews about the narrow boats from Grand Union Narrowboats in Weedon. Having owned and cruised on our own narrow boat for five years, we wondered whether renting a boat would measure up, but it did! We couldn't fault Londonweed, or Steve and his fantastic and helpful team. We loved the interior layout of the boat, the kitchen and bathroom set-ups, and particularly all the good storage areas throughout the boat. There were extra thoughtful touches, including flowers and a bottle of wine, as well as games to play on board. We would highly recommend Grand Union Narrowboats to anyone wanting to cruise on the English canals, and hope to be able to use them again ourselves.

Fantastic experience in all respects
Our first time on a narrow boat and couldn’t fault the service and boat provided by Steve and his excellent team. The friendly welcome, thorough familiarisation with the boat and the time and care taken to ensure we were happy and confident before setting out were second to none. We were accompanied for the first few miles with plenty of useful advice and the following morning we were met at the first set of locks where once again excellent advice and instructions given in a very friendly and reassuring manner. Boat in immaculate condition inside and out, lovely thought to have fresh flowers and a bottle of wine to welcome us on board. 3 days of peaceful bliss pottering along and totally relaxing (well, apart from the 7 locks at Stoke Bruerne ?) Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve and his team and we will certainly be returning ??

Fantastic service from Steve and the Team
We had a great time on the Grand Union on “Driftweed”. It was our first time on a narrowboat and Steve and his team did a fantastic job of explaining everything to us. The handover was excellent – and Covid safe – with lots of local knowledge and we were given hands on instruction for the first mile or so on steering, stopping and mooring which was very welcome. Next day Steve met us to go through lock handling. The boat was well equipped – better than we expected a narrowboat to be – with plenty of storage, a good shower and full facilities. There were also some personal touches, some flowers and a bottle of wine, which summed up the personal service from Steve and Steph. Overall we couldn’t have chosen a better company to hire from and we’ll certainly be back.
