Canal Boat Hire on the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal

Road House Narrowboats is a small family run business and the oldest company offering canal boat hire on the Mon and Brec canal. With five narrow boats specially designed for hassle-free cruising on the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal, we can assure you of a relaxing and enjoyable canal boat holiday in Wales. You’ll receive our initial induction and closest attention at all times along with any support you may require along the way, particularly if canal boating is new to you. We have ourselves been canal enthusiasts for many years and are very happy to talk to you about our narrowboat hire on the Mon & Brec canal if you care to call.

Who can Narrowboat:
Narrowboating with us located within the Brecon Beacons National Park is an ideal self-catering holiday experience for anyone interested in wildlife, the natural surroundings and our local heritage. Suitable for anyone active: tourists and locals alike, family or friendship groups of all ages and generations with up to five people per boat. Narrow boating can even be a valuable corporate or organisation team building exercise with one or more of our boats.

This canal is a gem

Our second trip, this time with two boats. Nigel and Sally are real pleasure to deal with; I love supporting small hard-working family businesses!

The boats are immaculately maintained and the perfect size for this relatively shallow canal.

The canal is, however, a real gem. Stunning views and a nice mix of long lock-free stretches, a nice set of locks close together, a quarter-mile tunnel and some fun drawbridges. And of course, some fabulous pubs on or close to the canal. Our favourite is undoubtedly The Horseshoe at Llangattock - sensational Jam Welsh food and get hospitality. But all the pubs are warm and friendly, valuing the passing trade from the canal.

I'm an experienced narrowboater, and I genuinely feel that this canal and this company are just about the best I've experienced. Looking forward to going back next year.
