Overseas Visitors

Picture
We look forward to welcoming you at the start of your canal vacation.
 Overseas visitors make up about one third of all our holiday boat hire customers and quite a few of them return year after year.
You can be assured of a warm welcome when you arrive at Rose Narrowboats.
We are well located in the centre of the canal system, in a very attractive part of England with excellent transport connections to and from the major airports (London Heathrow, Birmingham International and Manchester).
If you require any further help on how to get to us please do not hesitate to contact us.

All our boats are self drive but we go through comprehensive training with you so even if you have never done boating before we will have you confident enough to take the boat out in a short time however if you would like to do a bit of homework before you arrive you can check out the Boaters Handbook and the Boating DVD's on our website for further information.
