Holiday Aboard Strumble - A Leeds Liverpool Classic

 

Strumble is a 32' all steel narrowboat built by Doug Moore who was based in Barnoldswick.

She is fully licensed by British Waterways for hire, and insured for third party use.

Strumble has a traditional stern, allowing more usable cabin space.

At only 32ft Strumble offers 2 berth accommodation in  a traditional style. She has been fitted out in rosewood and you will not fail to be amazed at the quality of the workmanship.  She is powered by a BMC 1.5, water cooled engine so is a quiet boat.

The double bed is wonderfully designed to fold down whilst still offering a full size double bed rather than  the narrower beds you will find with the longitudinal design. The bed offers ample space for taller people.

The bathroom has a cassette toilet, sink and wet-room style shower unit. Hot water is plentiful, being supplied via a calorifier connected to the engine.

The saloon area has 2 long saddle style seats which means you can  stretch out at the end of a days boating. The forward cratch is useful for hanging wet gear should you be unfortunate enough to have a rare day of Yorkshire/Lancashire rain !

Heating on Strumble is provided via a multi-fuel stove. Canal Boat Escapes will provide full instructions on how to light this but, generally in the summer months, you will not need it. Our luxury bedding also means that your toes won’t be nippy in the night.  

She has been lovingly restored to her original condition and is available to hire, offering guests the opportunity to spend a holiday on the only traditional stern boat for hire on the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
