Why not swap the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a more tranquil, peaceful and altogether relaxed way of life.

Lazy Days
a 70ft boat sleeps 8 to 10 persons. This semi-traditional narrowboat is equipped
to the highest standard to make your holiday extra special.
The Boat is located on the
Post Bridge Cottage Farm Canal side.
Lazy Days is located on the
Caldon Canal in the pretty
village of Endon in Staffordshire..
Waking up on the water is restful and takes you back in time when speed was measured on how fast the horse could pull the narrowboat. Horses have been replaced by engines, but the way of life has remained at a sedate pace; nature is on your doorstep. Spotting coots, moorhens and herons is just one of the many delights on the canal.

fitted out to a high standard with very comfortable accommodation providing
excellent value for money. Hire our narrowboat for a week or short break. 'Lazy
Days' is based in the village of Endon, on the unspoilt, quiet Caldon Canal -
ideal for a quiet break, or if you want to travel further afield, then venture
onto the Trent and Mersey Canal with its junction at Stoke-on-Trent
Our prices are fully inclusive and start from as little as £60.00 per person per
week (low season) and the maximum cost per person in the height of the summer is
£165.00 for a week's holiday. Based on 10 people on a one week cruise holiday.
There are a choice of cruise options from one week or more to short breaks
of just 2 days aboard the luxury narrowboat
'Lazy Days'. All maps will be provided for use on your voyage.
Cruising at about 3 -4 miles per hour really does slow the pace down. Don't
worry if this is your maiden voyage as instructions on how to steer and manage
the boat, to how to operate the locks will be given to you on arrival. You don't
even have to worry about your pets - bring them along - we welcome well-behaved
pets.
'Lazy Days' will be fully equipped for your adventure. All you need to bring is
yourselves and food - unless you decide to sample all the food and drink from
canal side pubs and restaurants, after all, you're on holiday!
A boating break is ideal for getting a group of friends together for a hen or
stag weekend, or celebrate that extra special anniversary or birthday with the
family or friends. Bring the grandparents along, the children will love it -
it's an ideal short break choice for all ages.
If you're a novice and need to find your sea-legs or you're an old hand at boating you'll have a great time cruising the British Inland Waterways.
