This is truly the ultimate place to relax with your loved one. Enjoy relaxing in the warmth of the hot tub in your private garden area, chill out on the unique swinging wigwam day bed whilst soaking up the sun or enjoying the night sky, or book a session in the on site sauna. Alternatively open a pack of marshmallows or sausages and cook up a feast on the fire bowl BBQ.

The boat itself comes fully insulated and with heating for those chillier English nights. There are real wooden floors throughout plus blackout curtains for total privacy. The bedroom offers a luxurious king size bed with memory foam mattress and the ensuite shower room comes fully equipped with eco toiletries, fluffy towels and bathrobes. The living area offers a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar area, plus a gorgeous blue velvet sofa which you can sink into and watch the TV or the flames of the log burner. There is a large deck at the back of the boat and a smaller one to the front, both of these offer a great place to enjoy your morning cuppa surrounding by the sights and sounds of the canal.

Locally you can enjoy a stroll along the canal path taking in the rare fauna and flora that surrounds it or bring a bike (there is bike storage) and cycle all the way to Chesterfield, if you are feeling energetic.
