A fabulous short break on Kimberley
A fabulous short break on Kimberley. This must be our sixth or seventh narrowboat holiday and the very best yet. Staff were so helpful and friendly and welcoming. Special mention for Stuart who recommended places of local interest and nice places to stop. Kimberley, not even one of the newer boats, was spotless, perfectly equipped and beautifully furnished. Everything worked just as it should, reliable, easy to use, and we found it very hard to leave! The routes we took from Swanley Bridge Marina onto the Shropshire Union, Middlewich and Trent and Mersey then back down to Nantwich were pleasantly pastoral with very friendly canal folk. All were easy to navigate with helpful Canal Trust volunteers on Hurleston Locks and indeed just enough but not too many locks on these routes. We went during May half term and there were boats aplenty but not at all noisy or overcrowded. In sum, Swanley Bridge Marina was super, their location excellent and their boats perfect!
