The hype
Lovely canal views and friendly staff, but the food service can be painfully slow.
Narrowboat At Weedon
$95-110 / noc
Zarezervujte to, ak You want a pint by the canal and a bed without the seasickness of actually sleeping on a boat.
Prečo sa ľuďom páči
- Direct access to the Grand Union Canal towpath
- Beer garden with prime narrowboat-watching views
- Free parking right off the A5
Rýchly prehľad: A solid roadside pub with rooms that trades heavily on its canal views to distract you from the A5 traffic noise.
Recenzované @lifewithchantalxoxo: I needed a break from the city and this spot in Weedon was perfect. Waking up to the canal view was so peaceful. The stable-style rooms are a cute touch, and having a drink on the terrace while watching the boats go by is a must-do.

Insider tipy

Ask for a room *away* from the kitchen extraction fans if possible.

5 vecí, ktoré by ste mali vedieť pred cestou
💡The 'chalet' rooms are basically a motel strip in the car park, not inside the historic pub building.
💡The shower pressure can be temperamental, with reports of it 'cutting out'.
💡You might find cobwebs in the corners—it's a rural canalside building, spiders love it.
💡The 'No Window' room listing on some sites is a genuine risk—double check your booking confirmation.
💡Service speed in the restaurant can be 'glacial', so don't eat if you're in a rush.
