Boating holidays - Trevor - Llangollen, Cheshire Ring & Llangollen Canal. Boating holidays, weekends and short breaks in Cheshire Ring & Llangollen Canal
Ideally located only a 2 hour cruise from Llangollen town and the perfect starting point in which to explore one of the UKs most stunning stretches of inland waterway. There are tunnels, lift bridges and the breath-taking Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which has earned the appropriate nickname ’Stream in the Sky’ and carries the Llangollen canal 126ft high above the River Dee.

These are the reviews for Trevor. There are 10 reviews.
(Norton) We all really enjoyed it. facilities perfect . everyone helped with locks . everyone on canal really helpful Nichole from Liverpool (24 October 2016)
(Hurley) Great holiday. Very relaxing. Lesley from Edinburgh (22 October 2016)
(Brenig) Superb holiday!. we had a week on a narrowboat elsewhere before so knew what to expect. - brenig was even better! Mark from Leamington Spa (03 September 2016)
(Wensleydale) Our family including three kids (aged 11, 14 & 16) plus our dog had a wonderful holiday for 7 days in july, & we would highly recommend it to others (though perhaps less so with pre-school children.) the boat was clean & the kitchen was well equipped. it would perhaps have benefitted from one more towel & one more tea towel for our family of 5. we took our own large pan from home just incase there was one not big enough onboard, but the pans on supplied would have been ok. we really appreciated having the 2 comfortable tub chairs to be able to sit & relax; something that few of the boats have in their layout. i'm glad I asked for 2 additional fold-up chairs to be placed on the boat when I booked as they were very useful, especially at the front of the boat as the fixed seat looked backwards & we wanted to see where we were going. we also used one of these additional seats at the end of the table so that we could eat together as we couldn't fit 5 of us on the benches (the table was surprisingly high for the chair but my husband coped ok with it.) the foldup chairs were also useful for sitting on the bank occasionally when we were moored up. the toilet was surprisingly high up to reach, & we had to pay to have it emptied half way at a boat yard following a quick phone call which we were not expecting & was non-refundable. we didn't have to pay for any additional fuel despite travelling quite far over the 7 days. we took every opportunity to fill up with water as the stand-pipes are surprisingly easy to miss! the dining area became our bed at night. it was less comfortable than the proper mattresses but was plenty good enough. we struggled in the heat at night as we managed to book our holiday on one of the hottest days of the year! we bought little spray bottles of water & hand held fans, & put bottles of water in the little freezer compartment to cool us down. the tv & radio didn't work properly; the tv was black & white & the radio had no signal, but we didn't miss them to be honest as we had such beautiful scenery & spent time talking to each other. the oven seemed to take a long time to cook anything so we were glad that we brought easy meals to cook with us. we did miss an electric kettle, but you have to be mindful of using electricity on the boat. the tutorial we had in the beginning was great to get us going, & our guide came on board with us to give us a hand until the first swing bridge. my husband drove the boat, & apart from a few bangs & scrapes that everyone seems to have & a few hairy narrow gaps passing boats, he managed it well for his first time. we kept moving for a lot of our holiday rather than mooring up to visit nearby towns. we stopped at whitchurch, & wished we'd had more time to look around ellesmere as it was beautiful. we also stocked up at the little tesco at ellesmere. there were a couple of nice little pubs on the way where we stopped for drinks & snacks. we would recommend willeymoor lock tavern near the staircase locks at grindleybrook, & the poachers pocket near chirk as good places for food & drink. we bought walkie talkie radios in whitchurch so that we could talk to each other more easily between the front & the back of the boat which the kids loved, otherwise it feels quite separate when you're moving as we were advised to not all be in the same place on the boat at the same time to even it out. we lost a mooring pin the first time we moored up because of soft ground & a boat passing us quickly. we used the d mooring hooks which attach to the rails at the side of the canal for the rest of the holiday which were much more secure. we would not recommend trying the staircase locks without the assistance of the volunteer lock-keepers (as we managed to do accidentally by being there a bit too late in the evening!) once you've mastered that lock however the others are straightforward, & our teenagers managed them easily following that point. we turned around at wrenbury at the winding hole. we played board games together in the evenings or went to the pub & just enjoyed slowing life right down. we could have moored up or visited more places on the way, but we had a goal to reach willeymoor to meet up with grandparents half way on the day that we turned around. the pub owner was happy for my stepfather to park there for a few hours as he is disabled & we asked politely in advance & spent money there (they are not happy generally for people to park there understandably.) we found the time of needing to be back by 9am on the last day a little rushed, 10am would have been easier for us. we would love to book another canal holiday, it was really enjoyable & good for bonding together as a family, & surprisingly active if you decide to travel a lot. we would definitely book again if we had the opportunity .. converted canal holiday lovers! Converted Canal Lovers (23 July 2016)
(Wensleydale) We really enjoyed our week long break aboard wensleydale. The boat itself was exceptionally clean and well kitted out. The kitchen had everything needed on a self catering holiday. Space wise it was perfect for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. There were plenty of moorings on the canal to stop for the evening and some very nice pubs too! Paul from Dorset (16 July 2016)
(Wensleydale) Excellent, but had to have a pump out 2 days after collecting the boat. Was it empty when we collected it? Stephen from Kendal (09 July 2016)
(Butterfly) 4 night stay. With 4 adults the boat was ok but still a squeeze. Very clean and well stocked boat. Some better out side seating would have been nice. Beds where ok and the two toilets where excellent. Kitchen was fine tv ok internet not so good. We where luck with weather and enjoyed our trip and sight seeing. Not sure we would do it again I found the driving quite stressful because you do not know who is coming towards you!!!!! Peter from Somerset (24 June 2016)
(Brenig) We were very happy with the holiday, we did take a 65ft boat which is less manuverable than the smaller boats, the collection location at trevor does have a number of tight sections that are a challenge for initial handling (learning the feel and response for the boat) this was a steep learning curve but not a real problem. . yes we would go again from trevor and with anglo welsh. Dave from Keswick (04 June 2016)
(Golden Lark) Incredibly fun and relaxing from beginning to end Frank from Alpharetta, Georgia, Usa (16 May 2016)
(Countess) Excellent boat, location and base. Stuart from Macclesfield (06 May 2016)
