Top Dog Holiday Boat Description:

Top Dog sleeps six, it has two double rooms and a small Chesterfield-style double sofa bed in the living area. It is 55 foot long and ten foot wide opposed to a narrowboat which is six-foot-ten inches wide. There is more interior space in Top Dog than a 68ft narrowboat. You will find the boats provide a level of decor, spaciousness and comfort more associated with a floating cottage.

To get you started:

We'd like to take the worry out of your holiday; from the moment your feet hit the deck, you can begin to enjoy your holiday on the Kennet and Avon canal. Top Dog will be full of complimentary fuel so after your orienteering, you'll be ready to steer her away. You'll be insured, licensed and ready to go. We provide a complimentary hamper for your short break / long break cruising option which may include tea, coffee, biscuits, milk, sugar, bread and fruit, so you can stop for a snack even if you haven't had the chance to shop yet. If you're a novice, don't worry we spend time with you to make sure you are happy handling the boat before you go on your way.

For your comfort:

Both cabins feature comfortable pocket-sprung mattresses topped with mattress toppers and dressed in soft cotton sheets. For a cozy night's sleep, cotton duvets and pillows provide warmth and comfort. The small double sofa bed also comes with fresh cotton sheets complemented by soft pillows and a warm duvet. Towels are big, plump, soft cotton sheets, that you can wrap yourself up in after a leisurely shower.

For your entertainment:

Onboard you'll find a large freeview tv for you to watch on demand. Unlimited mobile Wi-fi means you can keep in touch and link into your Netflix account. (Kindly note that signal strength may vary in some parts of the canal). And if you'd rather play there's a selection of board games for all of the family to enjoy. Top Dog features soft ambient LED lighting in the living space, controllable via remote. The space is further enhanced by an Echo Show, adding smart features and voice-activated convenience.

Not so essential essentials:

We recommend waterproof jackets and trousers which will keep you dry in all weathers. After a day's cruising you can wind down in front of the log burner, create an ambient atmosphere and enjoy a relaxed evening.

Just ask:

We'd like you to want for nothing during your stay, so if you have any special requirements just let us know and if there's something we can do to make it happen we will. For your reassurance, we provide a discreet concierge call out service. We're happy to work with you to create a special event or occasion and it would be a privilege to do so.
