点评:We did a lot of research before choosing Road House Narrowboats for our first family barge holiday, and it was absolutely the right choice. Not only was our boat the prettiest on the canal, it was also clearly one of the most easy to manage. We saw so many of the bigger boats get into a bit of bother at times, while we navigated the narrow and shallow waterways with ease. Our boat, the Gilwern Countess, was brilliantly designed. It was so well laid out inside - every inch of space cleverly used - and it was equipped with everything we needed. Surprisingly comfortable for the three of us. And the bed was honestly one of the most comfy I’ve ever slept in.
Nigel’s thorough and clear briefing before we set off was super helpful, and all the info on the boat meant there was always an answer to your question somewhere. Our holiday coincided with a May heatwave - and there was no better place to be than cruising along the tree-lined, shady canal. The canal offers just the right mix of tranquility and activity. The locks at Llangynidr were a lot of fun! We swam in the River Usk, visited the lovely villages of Talybont, Llangattock and Crickhowell and also had a lovely night in Brecon (the cathedral is definitely worth the walk up the hill!). Our favourite mooring was an idyllic, peaceful spot at Penperlleni.
It really was a wonderful holiday - chilled, peaceful, interesting, mildly challenging at times (!) but thoroughly enjoyable. Even our 16-year-old daughter loved it! Don’t hesitate to book with Road House Narrowboats!
翻译:在选择Road House Narrowboats作为我们第一次家庭驳船度假的目的地之前,我们做了大量的研究,事实证明这绝对是正确的选择。我们的船不仅是运河上最漂亮的,而且显然也是最容易操控的船之一。我们看到很多大船时不时会遇到一些麻烦,而我们却能轻松地在狭窄浅水的水道中航行。我们的船“吉尔文伯爵夫人号”(Gilwern Countess)设计得非常出色。船舱内部布局合理,每一寸空间都得到了巧妙的利用,而且配备了我们所需的一切。对于我们三个人来说,船上的舒适度令人惊喜。说实话,那张床是我睡过的最舒服的床之一。出发前,Nigel的讲解详尽清晰,非常有帮助。船上提供的所有信息也意味着你总能找到问题的答案。我们的假期恰逢五月的热浪——没有什么比在绿树成荫、阴凉的运河上巡游更惬意的了。这条运河完美融合了宁静与活力。兰吉尼德尔的船闸真是太好玩了!我们在乌斯克河里游泳,游览了塔利邦特、兰加托克和克里克豪厄尔这些美丽的村庄,还在布雷肯度过了一个美好的夜晚(大教堂绝对值得爬上山去看看!)。我们最喜欢的停泊点是彭珀莱尼那处田园诗般宁静的地方。
这真是一次美妙的假期——轻松惬意、宁静祥和、充满乐趣,偶尔也有些许挑战(!),但总体来说非常愉快。就连我们16岁的女儿也玩得不亦乐乎!别犹豫,赶紧预订路屋窄船之旅吧!
