Drifting along a tranquil canal on a narrowboat, watching the rolling fields and wildlife as you pass lazily by, mooring up next to a quaint pub by the side of the water, what better way could there be to spend a Lancashire holiday? In Lancashire, canals, rivers and the sea are all easily accessible. The hotel boat scheme covers a wide range of floating accommodation from canal narrowboats to cruisers; big and small; simple or luxurious. The star ratings reflect a combination of service, facilities and comfort on each boat.
