点评:Amazing week on Chalkhill Blue for my partners 30th. I wanted to book something different to the normal ‘staycation’ and as soon as I found Boutique Narrowboats I knew this was it! It didn’t disappoint. We arrived slightly early and were shown straight to the boat to unpack and get our bearings. We then had a tour from Chris who expertly showed us how everything operated and spoke to us about things we would encounter along the route such as swing bridges and the Foxton lock staircase, tunnels etc.
The lock keepers we met at Foxton were all super and informative (especially Dave). My partner had never opened/closed locks before so they talked her through it at each step.
The interior of the boat was magnificent, we loved the fact that we could take our little ‘cottage’ for the week along the canals and stay somewhere different each night and explore the different pubs along the route.
I’ve already been recommending it to friends and family so if you’re reading this and are in two minds about booking…what are you waiting for?
翻译:我伴侣 30 岁生日那天,我在 Chalkhill Blue 度过了美妙的一周。我想预订一些不同于普通“宅度假”的东西,当我找到 Boutique Narrowboats 时,我就知道这是我想要的!它没有让我们失望。我们稍早到达,然后被直接带到船上,打开行李,了解情况。然后,Chris 带我们参观了船,他熟练地向我们展示了一切的运作方式,并向我们讲述了沿途会遇到的事情,例如旋转桥和 Foxton 船闸楼梯、隧道等。
我们在 Foxton 遇到的船闸管理员都非常棒,知识渊博(尤其是 Dave)。我的伴侣以前从未打开/关闭过船闸,所以他们每一步都向她讲解。
船的内部非常漂亮,我们喜欢这样一个事实:我们可以带着我们的小“小屋”沿着运河航行一周,每晚住在不同的地方,探索沿途的不同酒吧。
我已经向朋友和家人推荐了它,所以如果你正在阅读这篇文章,并且对预订犹豫不决……你还在等什么?
