Clc Canaltime at Sawley Marina

The resort and its setting

CLC Canaltime at Sawley Marina is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare resort built around the marina at Sawley, on the edge of Nottingham. Rather than a conventional holiday-resort layout, the draw here is the canal itself — moored boats, a working marina, and towpaths running off in both directions. Units are self-catering, designed for longer family stays where cooking your own meals and settling into a slower routine is part of the appeal. It's a good match for owners who want waterside quiet with a city close enough for a day trip.

The area and things to do

Sawley Marina is a few miles from central Nottingham, so owners can split their stay between towpath walks and city visits. Nottingham itself has its castle, museums, shopping and a lively food and pub scene, while Trent Bridge Cricket Ground is a short drive away for match days. Further afield, Sherwood Forest makes for a great day out if you fancy the Robin Hood connection and some woodland walking. Locally, the marina is the natural focal point — watching boats come and go, canal-side pubs and cafés, and the Nottinghamshire countryside right on the doorstep. It suits owners who want activity on their own terms rather than a packed resort schedule.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at CLC Canaltime at Sawley Marina and are considering moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of genuine buyers.

Because this is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a big-brand transfer department. Instead, ownership transfer typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or management team, so before agreeing a price with a buyer it's worth confirming directly with them what the current transfer fee is and whether the resort holds a right of first refusal on resales. You should also check the current annual maintenance fee with the resort, since this is the figure buyers will want before committing — we haven't quoted one here as it isn't confirmed.

What a resale buyer gets is the ownership interest in the specific week and unit type you hold, along with access to RCI exchange privileges, since the resort's RCI affiliation is confirmed. Points, credits or any resort-specific perks tied to your original purchase are not guaranteed to carry over — buyers should always ask the resort directly what transfers and what doesn't before completing.

Who tends to look for a week like this

Renters and buyers drawn to CLC Canaltime are usually after something other than a standard beach-resort week — think canal boat enthusiasts, walkers, cricket fans heading to Trent Bridge, or families wanting a self-catering base within easy reach of Nottingham. Being clear in your listing about the unit size, the week or season on offer, and the canal-side location will help the right buyer or renter find you.

Practical notes

East Midlands Airport is the nearest major airport, roughly 15 miles from the resort, making it a reasonably convenient option for both UK-based and international owners or renters. Spring and summer bring the best conditions for towpath walks and time on the water, and July–August is the busiest period locally, so if you're renting out a week, listing it well ahead of peak season is worth doing.
