Customers' Comments

Read what some of our previous clients say about the Leicester Ring.

"We particularly enjoyed the stretch through Foxton Locks (great fun was had by all the family!) and Market Harborough is definitely worth a visit."
TR, UK

"It was an excellent holiday for children and adults alike. Our 2 children are young adults, 14 + 17yrs, but they were not bored at any time. Our son did a lot of the steering and was really good at it."
BE, USA

"Very good boat, good and friendly staff, good service. I would recommend such a holiday to everyone. The boats are easy to handle and the British are very friendly."
HA, Netherlands

"Many thanks for a great family break. The only complaint is how much food 3 boys eat due to opening the locks all week!"
FH, USA

"The wildlife on the canal during June (baby ducks, baby geese, baby swans, herons, other birds) was a constant delight."
