Canal-side cottages are perfect for those who love to spend time by the water's edge. Britain has an impressive network of waterways, many of which are managed by the Canal & River Trust. Holiday homes next to the canal often boast lovely waterside views and are conveniently located for tow-path walks and feeding the ducks or swans. Watch the barges and narrowboats gently going by and the ducks happily bobbing along with a stay by a canal.

We hope you find the perfect cottage by a canal for you. Some of the below are right next to a canal whereas others are a short walk away.
