点评:We've hired narrowboats from several companies over the years, but Cafwin Cruises is simply in a league of its own. Four holidays later, with our fifth already booked for next June aboard Arthur Owl, we can't imagine boating with anyone else.
The boats are beautifully designed, immaculately maintained and feel more like a luxury floating cottage than a hire boat. Every detail has been carefully thought through, and each year we notice something new that reminds us how much pride Catherine, Mark and the whole team take in what they do.
The real magic, though, is the people. From the moment you book until the day you reluctantly hand the keys back, Catherine is there if you need her. Friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate, nothing is ever too much trouble.
This year our only hiccup in four years was a blocked loo. One phone call, complete reassurance and it was fixed within two hours. Problems can happen anywhere—it's how they're dealt with that matters, and Cafwin couldn't have handled it better.
We also seem to have perfected the art of booking our holidays during Britain's annual heatwave! Yes, narrowboats are made of steel, but that's all part of the adventure. Cruise early, moor in the shade, slow the pace and enjoy watching the world drift by with a cold drink in hand. Bliss.
What Catherine and her family have created isn't just a boat hire business; it's a business built on kindness, pride and genuine care for their guests. You never feel like just another booking.
We're genuinely sad that 2027 will be Catherine and Mark's final season before they head off on their own adventures. They thoroughly deserve it, but it really will be the end of an era. Catherine has become a legend in our eyes, and we'll miss knowing she's only a phone call away.
If you're thinking about booking with Cafwin Cruises, don't hesitate, you'll not regret it!
翻译:多年来,我们租用过好几家公司的窄船,但卡夫温游轮公司 (Cafwin Cruises) 绝对是其中的佼佼者。四年假期过去了,我们已经预订了明年六月乘坐“亚瑟猫头鹰号”(Arthur Owl) 的第五次行程,我们无法想象以后会选择其他任何一家公司。
这些船只设计精美,维护得一丝不苟,与其说是一艘出租船,不如说更像是一座豪华的水上别墅。每个细节都经过精心考量,每年我们都能发现一些新的惊喜,让我们感受到凯瑟琳、马克和整个团队对他们工作的自豪感。
然而,真正令人称道的是这里的人们。从您预订的那一刻起,直到您依依不舍地归还钥匙的那一天,只要您需要,凯瑟琳都会随时提供帮助。她热情友好、知识渊博、充满热情,总是尽心尽力,从不嫌麻烦。
今年,我们四年来唯一的小插曲是马桶堵塞。一个电话,他们就让我们完全放心,并在两个小时内解决了问题。问题哪里都可能发生——关键在于如何处理,而卡夫温处理得无可挑剔。
我们似乎也掌握了在英国一年一度的热浪期间预订假期的诀窍!没错,窄船是用钢铁打造的,但这正是冒险的一部分。清晨启航,在阴凉处停泊,放慢节奏,手捧一杯冰饮,悠闲地欣赏沿途风景。真是惬意无比。
凯瑟琳和她的家人打造的不仅仅是一家游艇租赁公司;它更是一家建立在友善、自豪和对客人真诚关怀之上的企业。在这里,你绝不会觉得自己只是众多预订中的一个。
我们真心感到难过,2027年将是凯瑟琳和马克开启他们自己的冒险之旅前的最后一个航季。他们完全值得拥有这一切,但这确实是一个时代的终结。在我们眼中,凯瑟琳已成为传奇,我们将怀念随时可以联系到她的那种感觉。
如果您正在考虑预订 Cafwin Cruises 的游轮之旅,请不要犹豫,您绝对不会后悔!
