Your recent holiday on Partridge - Bamboo Partridge from Blackwater Meadow Marina
Fantastic week away on the Bamboo Partridge leaving from the Blackwater Marina. Lovely boat, very clean and tidy on collection and this is the first time we’ve had working WiFi on board, was faultless during the week. Staff were excellent throughout the booking process and on collection and drop off of the boat. Thank you.

We chose to travel to Stratford-upon-Avon and return. Lots of great features on route. Some good pub stops and lots of locks.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Sun Lark from Hilperton Marina
Everything about ABCs narrowboat rental service was excellent. Even though the start to our 7 day adventure on the Kennett and Avon Canal was delayed due to an electrical issue with the boat, the crew at Hilperton Boatyard looked after us until the boat was fixed and ready to go. We had rented a narrowboat before, and we treated the thorough briefing on all aspects of the boat as a much needed refresher course of things we may have forgotten. The boat itself was very comfortable and performed without fault (after the repair). We were allowed to moor the last night of our trip in their boatyard which enabled us a quick getaway in the morning. Booking, paying, vessel return and everything else was smooth and efficient. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent another narrowboat from ABCs depot at Hilperton Boatyard.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Horned Lark from Alvechurch Marina
We booked this to follow the recommended route from Alverchurch to Stratford and back in the week though we expected this to be challenging with many more locks than our previous holidays. The exceptionally hot week added to the challenge but we stayed ahead of schedule and got a good sense of achievement from the trip. Despite the school holiday week there did not seem to be a large number of other holiday boats on the canal.

Your recent holiday on Lark - Horned Lark from Alvechurch Marina
The boat was well prepared, very clean and provided everything needed for a good canal holiday. We had a week of hot, dry weather and accomplished our aim of travelling to Stratford and back and all three generations in our party had an enjoyable, if challenging, holiday.
