“I stayed on Tiller Girl in August 2019 with my cousins. What a fabulous, fun, relaxed holiday and learning experience!
Tiller girl is beautifully finished, lovely interior design touches and a real homely feel for boat life!
….. I’ve never opened locks before or used the ropes to moor the boat, fantastic adventure at the leisurely pace of the canal. A thoroughly enjoyed experience, I would highly recommend!!”. JJJ
