Children & Small Families Welcome - Narrowboat Holidays

Ollie Owl is the ideal family boat, allowing for up to 4/5 adults or 4 adults and 2 smaller children as the 5th bed is really a small double  (two in the separate bedroom complete with a full sized UK double bed with luxury memory foam mattress and then a further three beds in the living quarters (two in the  dinette double and one in the very large single, almost double, bed-settee).

Arthur Owl is specifically designed for a romantic getaway for two, but the sofa bed in the lounge opens out into a large double-sized bed for use by friends or family.  A number of guests have had 3 children sleep top-to tail in either the main bedroom or living area very comfortably because both beds are actually larger than you’d expect.  Others have brought a blow-up bed and sleeping bag for a 3rd child which has also  worked out very well.  If you are not sure about the bed situation and whether or not you’d fit in if there are more than four of you, just give me a shout and we can discuss the options.

We will also provide an appropriate sized life jacket for your child/children to wear for those from the age of 5 and over.  Any younger children, we think it best that you fit your own life jacket in case ours are too big; it’s hard to know what size would be best without seeing the child first, so if in doubt, please bring your own life jackets for the very young children.  Also, babies are welcome, but we’d have to discuss with you the size of your travel cot and how they might be accommodated, so best to call us about that too before booking.
