About this property

Enjoying a peaceful location in the heart of Cheshire, this inviting narrowboat is perfectly positioned for sightseers, walkers and nature spotters exploring a serene stretch of the historic Shropshire Union Canal. Situated within a thriving canal-side marina, this is a great base for exploring the region’s ancient sites, picturesque villages and magical countryside. To the west, the city of Chester (22 miles) is famous for its heritage dating back to the Roman era, with landmarks including the impressive cathedral, the City Walls, Chester Castle, the Grosvenor Museum and Chester Zoo. Heading south from the marina, Nantwich (4 miles) is known for its Tudor architecture and offers a choice of great shops, pubs and cafes. Also nearby are Beeston Castle, Cholmondeley Castle Gardens, Delamere Forest, Lakemore Farm Park and the Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker, all within 13 miles.

Board this charming narrowboat and take a few steps down into its thoughtfully arranged interior, decorated with a collection of eye-catching artwork. You will be greeted by a snug, bright and cosy double bedroom which leads through to a bathroom. Further along, you will find the delightful living area, with a lounge space featuring a wood burner and ample seating. The fully equipped galley-style kitchen has plenty of equipment and workspace so you can rustle up your favourite dishes.

Back outside, you can sit back and enjoy meals and drinks on the bow as you admire the tranquil views over the marina and the surrounding countryside. Returning to dry land, there’s a large shared lawn area by the canal, offering a great spot for a BBQ and for watching the narrowboats as they pass by. The harbour features a welcoming cafe, and guests will also have access to on-site shower facilities. Parking for one car is available around 100 metres away.
