Winter break on the Shropie

We plan on escaping the heat here next summer (UK winter Jan 2019) and wonder if anybody can advise as to who are good hire companies on the Shropie, or maybe more importantly who maybe might not quite have a desirable reputation for customer excellence.  I appreciate lot's will be closed for the winter but I'll do that research - just looking for possible names

Thanks

Some hire companies don't operate in the winter.  Chas Hardern at Beeston is a good one though.  He will hire all year round, and will negotiate a price for a longer hire period out of season.   Just need to be sure of the stoppages though, particularly on the northern Shroppie as Chas is between Beeston Iron and Wharton's locks.  On the Shroppie they tend to be either all before or all after Christmas.  The Llangollen may not have stoppages planned in the same period.

You could try these for winter hiring, they are all well respected and all have nicely turned out boats.   :-  listed from south to north on the Shroppie.
