Sam is a fab Host and there whenever you want her (and we did!)
She has 2 great English canal boats, we stayed on Velvet Morning, she's 100 yrs old and we really were a little taken as she's gorgeous!
Bedroom 1:
The bed was really comfy and so snuggley and fitted out with the best quality and beautifully laundered 5* linen. You have to be aware that there is a high step up to the bed (step for this is provided if required in the adjoining room) basically the double bed of the main room takes up the whole of the ?bulkhead? (I probably have the wrong word!) and you step into your bed from the previous room (Room 2)
Room 2:
So much bigger than I thought originally
A good sized single cabin bed (I think we could have accommodated our 6' son for the night) with drawers and great storage under (at least 3 suitcases - would have been great to know as I thought there would be no room on-board so squeezed into a v small and inadequate sized cabin luggage case - I also discovered additional storage as well as hanging space once we were checking out, arrgghh!!!
Loved the inside accommodation, we welcomed guests to who didn't want to leave.
Really good everything on kitchen, sitting area, bathroom and bedroom.
Loved the location and loved Velvet Morning, what a beautiful boat!
Had trouble with the "inverter" (no phones, good and bad!) that if I had listened better probably wouldn't have been an issue and Sam was straight over to help us out!
Her other boat (Barara), she not only offered us as our dates clashed, but also gave us a full tour of, is v different but very lovely also and great for families.
I would trust Sam 1000%, she's really quick to respond but please don't worry if you don't hear from her immediately with a response on anything other than a booking!
