Booked the Father Christmas trip and the trip was brilliant . The time spent with Santa was personal and not rushed . The gift was excellent and great coffee and mince pies We had 2 extra family members join us at the last minute and the staff found it no problem and allowed them to join us . All the staff were friendly and enthusiastic . A really safe, well organised trip. The boat was warm , clean and cosy This was our first time on a canal boat but it exceeded our expectations and looking forward to booking one of the other trips they do in the Summer Highly recommended and Skipton is a lovely town
