We are a small family run business with just three boats offering a high degree of luxury and personal service. Your narrow-boat journey will start at our converted wharf barn, situated on the Oxford Canal which is often regarded as one of England’s most scenic canals. From Twyford Wharf you can either cruise north towards Braunston, Stoke-Bruene, to Warwick with stunning scenery of the windmill at Napton or south to the city of Oxford and onto the River Thames. Cruise up to Lechlade on the Thames discovering great pubs along the way and wonderful scenic views. If you have longer why not the Warwick Ring – cruise to Stratford upon Avon or tackle the River Thames towards London. Opportunities are endless on UK’s most scenic canal.
Many, many great pubs along the way at some really beautiful villages like Thrupp, Cropredy and Ahyno. Get discovering now!
We are here to help you book a wonderful holiday – so – if you have any questions please give us a call and we look forward to welcoming you aboard ‘Chieftain’ or ‘Conqueror’ for a fantastic holiday.

What our happy customers say
We, a family of three (54+54+15), enjoyed our trip with the Conqueror and Twyford Wharf Narrow Boats very much. Although having some experience with narrow boating, we were quite excited about a narrowboat, as there aren’t such boats in Germany. But Colin prepared us very well with information and videos beforehand. And when we took over the boat, he joined us up to the first lock, which was very nice and gave us assurance.
Once we past the first lock, a relaxing and gorgeous week on the Oxford Canal started, with interesting people and places.
Having driven all the way from North Wales we received a very warm welcome at Twyford Wharf. Having initially been a little apprehensive as neither of the group had been on a narrow boat, we were soon put at ease. We were shown the ‘ropes’ and taught how to steer, go through locks and handle the boat generally. Having a narrow boat made for a very relaxing holiday with very beautiful scenery and friendly pubs along the way. We are already greatly anticipating a second visit.
