点评:My husband and I used Napton Narrowboats for the first time in October 2021 and spent a week on Megan, part of the luxury Regency Fleet (see earlier review). We were so impressed with the company that we returned this August with our son, daughter-in-law and six year old granddaughter and spent a week on Constance. Due to a very dry spring and summer, there were many lock restrictions and closures making moving around the canal network very limited. However, the Napton Narrowboat team were amazing and worked tirelessly to ensure that we and other customers still had a great holiday. We explored the North Oxford and Ashby Canals as far as we were able to go and, on our return, because we were unable to return to base due to the lock closures, a lovely gentleman collected our driver and took him back to base by minibus to collect our car whilst the rest of our crew wheeled our belongings along the towpath to the nearest car park. Must say a big thank you to the lovely lady from Union Canal Carriers who lent us two trolleys for this purpose. Regarding eating and drinking along the way, we can recommend the Rose & Castle pub at Ansty (great food, service and value). Also, the shop at the Bosworth Marina is friendly and well stocked, if a little pricey. And the sausage rolls at Spinney Bank Farm shop are to die for. Tomlinsons is also a good farm shop but, we were there just after a bank holiday so missed out on the bread and pastry products. The ham was delicious though. All in all, we had a fab holiday despite the water level issues and will return to Napton Narrowboats in the future for another adventure.
翻译:我和丈夫于 2021 年 10 月第一次乘坐 Napton Narrowboats,在豪华 Regency Fleet 舰队的 Megan 号上度过了一周(参见之前的评论)。我们对这家公司印象深刻,因此今年 8 月我们带着儿子、儿媳和六岁的孙女再次乘坐 Napton Narrowboats,在康斯坦茨号上度过了一周。由于春夏季节非常干燥,许多船闸限制和关闭使得在运河网络中的通行非常受限。然而,Napton Narrowboat 团队非常棒,他们不知疲倦地工作,确保我们和其他顾客仍然度过了一个愉快的假期。我们尽可能地探索了北牛津运河和阿什比运河,回程时,由于船闸关闭我们无法返回基地,一位可爱的绅士接上了我们的司机,并用小巴送他回基地取车,而我们的其他船员则沿着纤道将我们的行李推到最近的停车场。非常感谢联合运河运输公司那位友善的女士,她借给我们两辆手推车。至于沿途的餐饮,我们推荐安斯蒂的玫瑰城堡酒吧(Rose & Castle,食物、服务和价格都很棒)。此外,博斯沃思码头的商店也很友好,商品齐全,只是价格略贵。斯宾尼银行农场商店的香肠卷也好吃得不得了。汤姆林森农场商店也很不错,但我们去的时候正好赶上银行假期,所以错过了面包和糕点。不过火腿倒是挺好吃的。总而言之,尽管水位有点高,我们还是度过了一个美好的假期,以后还会再来纳普顿窄船公司,体验新的冒险。
