Inside The Narrowboat
A well equipped stylish narrowboat is how we’d describe The Black Dog. Small and light but perfectly formed. It’s the ideal narrowboat for a relaxing holiday around The Four Counties Ring or a cosy romantic getaway in the heart of the countryside.
The Black Dog is a 48ft Cruiser Stern Narrowboat with a reverse layout design. This means the rear deck has a more spacious and social deck space, with the kitchen at the rear of the boat and the well sized bedroom at the front.
Fully stripped down and restored in 2019 The Black Dog has been finished with you in mind, providing a comfortable home from home. We think you’ll agree we’ve lovingly created a unique modern narrowboat.
We are moored at Barbridge on the Shropshire Union Canal. Deep in the heart of the beautiful countryside of Cheshire.
