Siobhan is very responsive, you couldn't ask for more than that from a host. The driving lesson was straightforward and the driving with a tiller itself is so much fun, I totally enjoyed those turning points... the decking is great for doing yoga or pilates with tranquil views all the way. Bring a yoga mat if you are into it!
We spent 2 nights and Siobhan let us enjoy a late check out which made the whole journey relaxing from beginning to end. My 8 years old enjoyed so much decking, fish feeding, bird watching, marine toilet pumping, water refilling, and helping out with docking. There are lots of good books and games available for kids but no internet which is a plus for keeping kids away from screen time. But they won't miss the screen, because the boat keeps them busy :) Plenty of walkways along the journey and a very good play area for kids too in Vickers own.
The kitchen has everything you need. In comparison to the Shannon cruise, this barge is way more spacious yet easy to drive. My boy enjoyed both but he said he liked this barge better.
A great family bonding trip for a family with a child, we enjoyed everything. Fairplay to Siobhan and Niall for sharing their barge for people to enjoy! Thank you so much.
