点评:Perfect Family Adventure with Our Elderly Dog – A Unique and Relaxing Getaway
We chose this type of holiday because we have a very old dog and two children (13 & 15), and we were looking for something that would suit us all. This canal boat break ticked so many boxes!
Our dog could be with us at all times, which gave us peace of mind. The kids loved helping out with the locks and lift bridges and spent plenty of time fishing from the boat. I managed to run every day along the canal paths – some sections were better maintained than others, but it was a great way to start each morning. My husband enjoyed the peace and quiet at the helm, steering the longboat and soaking in the tranquil surroundings.
We chose Cobbs Wren, a 45-foot boat – one of the smaller options – perfect for our first canal boat adventure. It had everything we needed:
A fully equipped kitchen with gas hob, oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, utensils, and pans.
Plates, bowls, tea towels, oven gloves, and even eco-friendly cleaning products to protect the waterways.
Bedding and towels were provided, along with shower gel, shampoo, and hand soap.
The bathroom had a toilet, shower, and sink.
Sleeping arrangements included twin beds (already made up) and a double bed that converted from the dining area each night.
The boat also had Wi-Fi, a radio, and a TV.
We hired the boat for 7 days and travelled up into Wales, crossing stunning aqueducts and arriving in picturesque Llangollen before returning to Wrenbury Marina. We spent quality time as a family, embraced the beautiful scenery, and enjoyed plenty of fresh air.
This was a memorable and unique holiday that allowed us all – dog included – to slow down, reconnect, and explore at our own pace. Highly recommend it for families, first-timers, and anyone looking for a peaceful escape!
翻译:与我们的老狗共度的完美家庭冒险之旅——一次独特而轻松的度假
我们选择这种度假方式是因为我们养了一只老狗和两个孩子(分别为13岁和15岁),我们正在寻找一个适合我们所有人的度假方式。这次运河游船之旅满足了我们所有的愿望!
我们的狗狗可以一直陪伴着我们,这让我们感到安心。孩子们喜欢帮忙维护船闸和升降桥,还花了很多时间在船上钓鱼。我每天都沿着运河小径跑步——有些路段维护得比较好,但这是每天早晨开启美好一天的绝佳方式。我的丈夫则喜欢掌舵,享受宁静祥和的氛围,掌控着长艇,沉浸在宁静的环境中。
我们选择了Cobbs Wren号,一艘45英尺长的船——较小的选择之一——非常适合我们第一次的运河游船探险。它配备了我们所需的一切:
设备齐全的厨房,配有燃气灶、烤箱、微波炉、水壶、烤面包机、餐具和平底锅。
盘子、碗、茶巾、烤箱手套,甚至还有环保清洁用品,以保护水道。
船上提供床上用品、毛巾、沐浴露、洗发水和洗手液。
浴室配有马桶、淋浴和洗手池。
船上的睡眠安排包括两张单人床(已铺好)和一张每晚可从餐厅转换成双人的双人床。
船上还配备了无线网络、收音机和电视。
我们租了7天的船,一路向北前往威尔士,穿过令人惊叹的渡槽,抵达风景如画的兰戈伦,然后返回伦伯里码头。我们一家人度过了美好的时光,欣赏着美丽的风景,呼吸着新鲜的空气。
这是一个难忘而独特的假期,让我们所有人——包括狗狗——都放慢脚步,重新建立联系,按照自己的节奏探索。强烈推荐给家庭、初次出游的人以及任何寻求宁静假期的人!
