The experience of staying in the cannel is something very special and Sam’s boat is exceptional in providing that perfect ambiance of romance but comfort. We were there with a 5 year old (who shrieked with delight when she saw a small bed high up against the wall), but would’ve been very nice to be just with my husband! The amenities and equipment were surprisingly fit for purpose and we had a very comfortable stay. It is quite magical waking up on the boat and see a mist shrouded canal out of your window. If you are looking for surreal experience, this is it!
