Kingfisher is a lovely " luxury" boat and its a great wsy to see the Chesterfield canal but have a base to explore from. Garden is wonderful. Loved watching the sunsets over the canal and the hot tub got plenty of use. The canal itself very quiet peaceful and beautiful. Breakfast hamper a real bonus. Cinema Dome cute and added electric blanket perfect for chilly evenings.

So glad you enjoyed your 4 days getaway on Kingfisher Narrowboat. There's lots to do around and 4 days gives you a chance to make the most of your self drive on Kingfisher Narrowboat. A bit of adventure, romance, history and relaxation. Best wishes, Josephine and Ronnie

We stayed on the Kingfisher Barge, and wow what an amazing experience, it was so peaceful and secluded, perfect for a relaxing weekend away. Everything was catered for with a lot of special little touches. The breakfast basket had everything you could ever want. Such a lovely experience with so much to offer you if you wanted that something a little bit special. Thank you

It was a refreshing experience with the feel of nature. Everything around is beautiful and amazing. I loved watching the chickens, enjoyed the eggs and everything. Mel made us feel at home. She is a star. The hide away experience was worth it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so glad you enjoyed the natural setting. That's one of the things we love most about our location. We worked with and enhanced the woodland, even siting the lodges in natural gaps in the woodland so not to lose any trees. The chickens, ducks, Swan, squirrels, rabbits etc are thriving and lovely to see. Thank you for booking with us. Hope to see you again one day. Best wishes, Josephine and Ronnie

We stayed for one night on the Kingfisher narrow boat, and it was a fantastic get away. We were both blown away by the boat itself and the surrounding area, with the hot tub, cinema dome etc. Beautiful location, and the view of the sun setting over the canal was so special. There wasn’t a thing I could think of to improve on, we were impressed by all the little touches where real thought has clearly gone into making this the perfect place to relax and unwind in comfort. We received regular, friendly contact from the owners prior to and during our stay to make sure we were happy with everything. We are planning to return again and have had several people asking us for details of our stay, so they can take a look and potentially book themselves. Would highly recommend to anyone.
