Just got back from our first time on a narrow boat, started at stoke prior down to droitwich then on to join river Severn all the way down into Worcester, back onto canal in Worcester back up to stoke prior in a loop cannot say how much we have enjoyed it! A different view round every bridge or corner going through locks tunnels beautiful scenery all the way. The barge itself far exceeded my expectations central heated well fitted out modern fixtures ,can’t fault it ! Staff friendly and helpful, they even came out to Droitwich when one toilet wouldn’t flush and did not charge us! We could of been charged if it was something we had blocked, but we hadn’t really used it as this was on our first night. I would highly recommend this as a holiday if your thinking about booking it. Black prince holidays are the perfect company to book through. It can be hard work at times, but if everyone is willing to muck in and help then you will have a wonderful experience for all ages. ( our ages range from 5 yrs to 92 yrs of age).read more

We've just got back from a two week canal holiday using Black Prince narrow boats in Bromsgrove and had an amazing time belly laughing most days at or with other boaters. We turned up to be greeted by all staff and treated like royalty. Friendly and helpful staff showed us to our boat "Daisy", had our tour of boat and we were off. The boat was beautifully maintained, clean and very see worthy. On our return we were greeted with the same enthusiasm by staff and given a gift to remind us of our trip. Having used ABC on our other two trips, Black Prince was by far the best canal boat company we have used. Want a trip on a canal, you can't go wrong with these people.read more

Just had a fantastic week navigating the Stourport Ring starting at the Black Prince base at Stoke Prior. Black Prince are excellent, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, ready to give good advice. Our boat was 4 years old but looked as good as new. All the boats are superb and work brilliantly. A great holiday for the whole family. Will definitely do it again and will have no hesitation to book with Black Prince.read more
