Barge holidays offer you your own luxury floating home, a fabulous means of transport between idyllic locations, and a chance to learn the skills of boat handling and lock operation - all within the stunning surroundings of the Brecon Beacons National Park; no wonder barge holidays are fast becoming a first choice for many people.

Barge holidays enable you to slow down and really appreciate your surroundings. The incredibly quiet engine on board you canal boat allows you to view the abundant wildlife along the canal at close quarters, with Kingfishers, Herons, Kites and Buzzards all being regularly spotted.

Canal boats have a traditional look which belies the very modern and comfortable interiors. All of our fleet is equipped to the highest of standards, with granite work tops in the kitchens, fabulous showers and loos and beds that will ensure you get that all important good nights sleep. Barge holidays will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Barge holidays allow all the family to participate in the boating experience, whether it’s steering the boats, operating locks or lift bridges or simply walking the dog along the towpath. Many find that barge holidays are a chance to catch up with old friends along the way or simply a chance to read that book you’ve been meaning to start for the last few weeks.

The Monmouthshire and Brecon canal is ideal for both the enthusiast and beginner alike. We have visitors who have their own boats on the main system and for whom barge holidays have become a way of life, and we have visitors who have never stepped on a boat before.
