Situated on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, The Boat Inn is a long and narrow thatched pub, which has been owned and operated by the Woodward family since 1877 and is one of the longest family-run pubs in the country. The delightful tap bar's inter-connecting rooms have canal views, an open fire, original stone floors and window seats, whilst an adjoining room has Northants skittles. Popular with diners, a large extension houses the lounge, restaurant and bistro. Additional beers are sold in the summer. A canal boat is available for parties to hire and has trips that can be booked over Christmas and summer holidays.
