1. Pets
Whilst we recognise that some people may
wish to bring their pet, we must stress that with the exception
of guide dogs, this is not possible. Members and guests
have a right to expect a clean and healthy environment and
some residual animal hairs are an inevitable consequence
of allowing a pet on board. In these circumstances, an allergic
reaction could spoil the visit of the next occupants and
this is a risk that we are not prepared to take. The rule,
therefore, is no pets and this is not negotiable.
2. Fishing
You may fish from your houseboat subject
to local conditions and obtaining permission from reception..
Permission may be withdrawn at any time. You will need a
National Rod Licence which can be bought to cover short
periods from most Post Offices. Bring your own tackle as
hiring is not always a practical proposition. Please return
all fish to the water unharmed.
Note that most canal banks are leased to Angling Clubs thus
denying fishing opportunities to offcomers.
3. Parking
Parking is available at all locations but
is limited to one space per occupied boat. Please therefore
avoid bringing more than one car if you can, as you are
likely to be charged for parking a second vehicle.
4. Cash
Houseboat locations are all urban based
and access to banks and cash machines is as you would expect.
5. Wildlife
If you walk or cycle along the canals,
you will find yourselves close to a rich landscape of woods,
water, meadows, fields and farmland and you can expect to
see the wide varieties of the flora and fauna native to
the British Isles. Consider buying one of the many handbooks
available and, if you have a pair of binoculars, bring them
too. Remember though, it is illegal to pick wildflowers
or disturb nesting birds or other animals.
6. Occupancy
Each Canaltime Houseboat is designed, licensed
and insured for occupancy by four or six persons which,
for the avoidance of doubt, includes babies and small children.
Please make sure that you arrive with no more than the maximum
number of people for which the Houseboat is made - this
will avoid embarrassment on both sides when occupancy is
refused.
