The Escape

Meet The Vital Spark — Our beautifully appointed 61ft narrowboat

Moored at Aqueduct Marina on the serene Shropshire Union Canal.
This is your home by the water: cosy, stylish, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to fully switch off and unwind.

Step aboard and you’ll find two comfortable double beds, an L-shaped sofa perfect for lazy evenings, and a wood-burning stove that brings real warmth and charm to your stay.

The fully equipped kitchen means you can cook at your own pace, while the full shower room keeps things comfortable throughout. Smart TVs, marina Wi-Fi, and central heating take care of the rest — and with free parking right at the marina, getting here couldn’t be simpler.

Life is full of schedules and to-do lists. This is your chance to leave the “shoulds” behind and settle into a slower, more peaceful way of living. There’s no driving, no navigating, no rush. Just you, the gentle lapping of the water, and time to truly unwind.
Wake to birdsong, sip your morning coffee on deck, and watch the boats drift by. Wander the towpaths, dip a fishing rod in the marina, or simply curl up inside with a good book. Every moment is yours to savour.

So, how will you spend your gentle retreat? The possibilities are as peaceful or as playful as you like.

No experience? No problem!
