Black Prince wins at Cheshire Tourism Awards

We are delighted to announce that Black Prince Narrowboat Holidays has been awarded Best Self Catering Accommodation at the Marketing Cheshire Tourism Awards 2025!

This award recognises our commitment to constantly evolve our narrowboat build and development, offering our guests a stylish and unique way to explore the beautiful waterways of Cheshire and beyond.

Marketing Cheshire Awards

The awards, hosted by Marketing Cheshire, celebrate the very best of the region’s visitor economy, which contributes £3.9 billion and welcomes over 56 million visitor days each year.

The judging was tough! The Self Catering Accommodation award initially started with a five page justification process, which then lead to an interview with our Base Manager Danny in Cheshire, followed by a tour of one of our Black Prince boats at the base. The judge took a look round one of our new Signature boats and by all accounts, was super impressed by what she saw!

Winning entries also qualify for the National VisitEngland Awards for Excellence, which we are excited about – watch this space for further news!
