We think a break along the Monmouth and Brecon Canal by Narrowboat is one of the most relaxing holidays available while also offering a unique family experience.
But dont take our word for it, see what our customers thought below.
Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our cruise on the Kidwelly Castle. The boat was equipped to a very high standard and the friendliness and efficiency of all staff excellent. In short I would have no hesitation in recommending Castle Narrowboats to any body.
Mr R T
Yes we had a very good holiday, we called it a great experience, the Barge was excellent, the scenery wonderful and the weather was perfect what more could anyone wish for. Many thanks and best wishes to Joe and the family.

Just a quickie to say how much my son and I enjoyed our week on Beaumaris Castle. We have tried many boats over the years but the silence of an electric boat was amazing and I would recommend one of these to even the most experienced canal boaters. The canal is very picturesque and charging up now and again is no problem at all. The boat was the best we have had in all ways.

Dear Nick, Sharon & Family
We would like to say what a wonderful week we had on Pencelli Castle, 25 March to the 1st of April. The weather was good most of the time and the scenery fantastic. The lambs, daffodils, primroses and birdsong, well, what a great time of year to be on the Mon and Brec Canal. The Pencelli Castle is a beautiful boat with all you need and more, immaculate inside and out. Sorry, we were first time narrowboaters so had a few scratches on return! Thankyou very much for all your help and kindness, you’re a great team at Castle Narrowboats.
Regards, Carol & Phil
This was our first time on a narrowboat and we were anxious on the first day. Sharon, Nick and Joe put our minds at ease, they gave us a folder with all the information we needed to know and also told us everything we needed to know about the boat. We dont think you can improve your service as it is first class. Thankyou for the little gifts you left us on the boat, we had a fantastic time, we home to see you again soon.

The British countryside at its best! Plenty to kep us busy with locks, tunnel, bridges and aquaduct. An enjoyable and relaxing holiday both on the water and walking the towpath. Great to be able to walk to view the reservoir and climb mountains.
Mr and Mrs Jackson
Excellent customer service very helpful. Nick was very helpful when we had a slight concern and went the extra mile to help with the locks. Will definitely be back!
Laura and Morgan on Y-fenni Castle
The team at Castle Narrow Boats were absolutely fantastic, even with all of the current constrains (COVID) put upon them. We had 3 boats, all turned out spotless & well equipped. You’d want for nothing, everything had been thought of. Sharon had suggested getting a supermarket delivery direct to the boat yard, worked a dream. The briefing’s were 1st class as was the tuition. We were blessed with dry weather for the week and thoroughly enjoyed our time sauntering thorough the beautiful Brecon’s, the kids loved all the wildlife we spotted, from fish to birds & farm animals. The pubs/hostelries were very accommodating. Thanks again for a brilliant time.
Martin Blythe
We had a wonderful time on the canal and have already told all our friends how brilliant it was. You were all so welcoming and informative when we arrived and we will definitely be returning in the future!
