Property information

Mini Escape is a cosy 27ft narrowboat with a cruiser stern. Offered as a 2 berth, this boat is perfect for couples looking for a relaxing break on the water, or individuals looking for private, self-contained accommodation with it's own bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. Please note - Summer season bookings (March to mid-November) are for self-drive boating holidays. Winter bookings (mid-November to end of February) are for static hire only. Accommodation: The rear deck of the boat provides a spacious area for 2 people, with a couple of seats where you can sit and enjoy the view while cruising. Entering through the rear door, you step down into the luxurious walk-through bathroom which benefits from a full height shower, an electric flush Thetford cassette toilet and a table top sink, plus a couple of handy storage cupboards. Walking through the door, you enter the galley kitchen which comes with a gas combi oven and grill with 3 hobs, as well as a good sized retro fridge and plenty of storage. The boat comes equipped with all crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment. At the front of the boat is a bright and cosy lounge area, with a comfy reclining sofa, footstool and traditional log fire. As well as a LCD TV and DVD player, there is also a selection games and DVDs provided. The sofa and footstool converts into a queen sized double bed at night, and storage is available in both the sofa, the footstool and the double cupboard at the front of the boat. All bedding is provided, but customers are asked to bring their own towels. The boat provides 12v power only while cruising, so any personal appliances your wish to bring should have a USB charger cable. There are 2 charging points located in the kitchen.

Neighbourhood information

Your boat can be collected from Cow Roast, in an ideal location for accessing nearby towns such as Tring, Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead, Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes.
